Colt D Frame Grip Comparison w/Pics

Post by doc540 »

Finally received not just my Tyler T grip adapter, but a set of Tyler's micarta grips for my carry Agent.

As you can see, they are longer below the butt than the factory grips, so I doubt I'll keep them. I was hoping they were more of a boot grip and the same length below the butt as the originals. I didn't clarify that as I was ordering them. Yes, if I had the skill and confidence I could cut them down, but I don't.

However, the quality is excellent and the Tyler T folks are great to deal with.

I've included pics of Jim Badger's boot grips for size comparison purposes. I've been carrying it with the Badgers, and they shoot well for my hand size and conceal well.

At this stage of the game, and I have not shot them yet, I'm leaning toward just using the factory wood grips and the Tyler T grip adapter. They feel VERY natural in my hands and conceal better than any other grip I've tried so far.

Hope this helps someone.
