Fitting information

We strive to provide the best possible fit on each and every one of our grips.  However, getting a perfect fit on every revolver is not always possible.  There are small variations in size, thickness and location of pins that occur from year-to-year and even pistol-to-pistol.  Our grips are designed to accommodate as many of these variations as possible, but occasionally these differences can result in slight misalignments in the grips.  In these rare circumstances, we ask that you contact us via phone or email so we can collect as much information about the issue as possible.  We will then do our best to fix any such issues. If we are unable to rectify the problem with the fit then we will refund your money.  This policy far exceeds that of most other custom grip makers and it is one that we are very proud of.
