Wondering if any 3D printers have experience making Tyler T grip copies, I’ve got an endfield no2 revolver and the grips are atrocious, ill be putting a set of early wood grips on it that are better than the black plastic ones but I’m wondering if anyone has some Tyler T grips I can try out on it, I feel like K frame grips will work the best anyone with a 3D printer want to give it a try?, there’s nothing historically accurate about this but it’s my only double action revolver and I think it would be cool

I think 3D printing would be a pretty viable option to make a complete grip in lieu of a custom wood grip. It is a pretty simple form to work around. However, it may not be as inexpensive as one thinks for printing.

An alternative if one has a particularly disliked wood grip could be to use the existing grips as a base scaffold and build up with grip paste (eg Morini or Rink Formgriffe, which are basically firearm specific bondo/epoxies).
 
I miss the original Tyler T-grip without the finger grooves, just the straight surface.

Would love to get my hands on a couple of them for two Model 10 revolvers I own.

Also miss the Uncle Mike's boot grips for K frames.
 
Was never really a fan of T grips. However, a viable solution, when changing the grips on a wheelgun is not really appropriate but you still want it somewhat functional for shooting. The only revolver I own with one on is a vintage S&W Handejector in .455

The T grip makes it more functional to shoot for bigger hands. :cool:

NAA.
 
The other advantage with grip adaptors like Tyler's are that where CCW is legal, the use of wood grips makes for a narrower width than most replacement grips, especially those that go over the backstrap.

And the wood grips are less sticky so that they print less and stick less to the covering garment.

The wood grips I switched too are great but a bit too similar to the small wood grips on early smith and Wesson revolvers, I would modify the bakalight grips if I didn’t care about it but don’t really want to ruin something that’s been around since ww2, ideally I think it would be cool to laser scan the back of the grips and frame and print up an all new set of grips that are more comfortable, I’m mostly trying to make an old obsolete revolver more functional at the range for my own enjoyment

It is still possible to order Tyler T-grips from the U.S. The process is a bit cumbersome compared to other online ordering and there will be a wait but I ordered a couple a few years ago and they did arrive eventually.

As well, there is another outfit printing a modern 3d printer friendly version, though their name escapes me at the moment. - dan
