Need some info on grips
« on: November 12, 2011, 02:35:20 PM »
I picked up a set of grips today at an estate sale that were in a box marked Colt SAA, made from ivory micarta, and have "Made in the Philippines for TYLER TRU-FIT" and "#3" on the inside. Unfortunately they do not fit my USFA or anything else I compared them to. The front is way shorter than a SAA grip, and they are not flat on top but rather have a notch cut into them. Anybody know what these are made for?

If that is the same company they don't make grips anymore. Just the T-grip metal adapters. I am not so sure the ones I have are made by the same outfit, though the have the same name. I was going to call them and ask at some point.

Hi, thanks for that list. But it ain't for a S&W. They look like SAA grips but slightly different. Nothing like S&W grips. I still have a mystery here, the funny thing is if I ever find out what they fit I'll probably need to buy one to have something to put these neato grips on.
