My 13 year old grandson used it once in a bullseye competition against a few very experienced shooters and he came in second place. As I said I had one once, now he is referring to it a HIS K-38. He did give me a glimmer of hope to one day regaining it. He said he would take a K-32 in exchange if I could find and buy one. What a generous lad he is.

Tyler should be if their customer service and lead times are any indication. If you just want to try a T, get a BK adapter, same shape but plastic instead of aluminum. Much cheaper and less time measured in days instead of months to years. If you try it and like it you can hunt up a Tyler to have a metal one.

My check cleared my bank a few days later. I have sent them two inquiries with no response. STILL waiting on my order. Since making this order, I have discovered this is common practice for them. It is a con. God only knows how much money Tyler has stolen from people over the years. Some people claim that occasionally they will send out a shipment at random anywhere from a month or so after receiving an order to as much as a year later here and there to "prove" they are acting in good faith. No telling how many multiple thousands of these have been ordered and paid for and never delivered. That is why they do not accept credit cards. .

They went right on with no hassle and fit very well. Cost was $25.00 plus priority mail shipping to total $32.90 each. I'd never tried a grip adapter before but really like them, they split the difference between the service stocks and full on target style - which cost an arm and a leg these days. They're particularly nice on the J-frame since the stock grips are much too small in the hand. The adapter keeps the slender profile but lets you get a full grip on it, positions the trigger finger better as well. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
