Custom Grips
I'm trying to find different suppliers of custom grips to find the one I want.
I know about Jamie Loesch, but does he do custom work?
Does anyone know of other companies that make custom grips?

I know about car filler and sandpaper, but Muttley would like to buy me one as an xmas pressie (and who am I to refuse ).

So, thoughts anyone?

Cheers, Kae.

there might be an issue with getting on from so far away...

would you not want at least one 'fitting' to ensure it was what you needed?

that said...if you do order from loesch..let me know..I might be interested in one myself..we could split the shipping

one of our members'.... bob_lambeth spoke some time back about custom grips he was making for compounds - they were stunning. I asked him about making a grip (or 2) for my matrix.....he said he would get into that at some point. Not heard anything since and I did pm him not so long back.

Tarkwin - I want 2 grips

I quite fancy a loesch grip, even if it is just "one off the shelf".
If anyone else does, then pm me what you want, and I'll see about getting some "group buy" discount.

Cheers, Kae.

I emailed Loesch several weeks ago trying to find out more about the angles on their grips - eg I want something about the same as the Avalon grip, which height would that be? No response. Maybe I'm in their killfile already Probably medium - maybe med-high.

If you have any better luck - let me know!

Not that it helps much here, but I'm making my own carefully tailored grip. Once the "inner" surfaces are cut the rest of it is like carving an elephant - you just remove all of the stuff that doesn't look like what you want...
