There will be no more grips made like that, and as a result of how good they are the price has gone up for them. The few people that know of them are very impressed. On the ones that I have, they are a one piece grip that fits very tightly and held in place by a Chicago screw. Load up some serious +P 38 specials and I think you will be impressed.

Interesting. So those who are getting these guns with these stocks might inadvertently be getting some rare collectable stocks.
