Greetings... I just wanted to share a recent experience regarding my purchase of a set of Larry Davidson's Monkeygrips. I can't say enough good things about this gentleman; great customer service, product, etc, etc. I had been unsuccessfully searching for a carry grip that is not too thick and not too thin. After trying various grips from several manufacturers, both standard thickness and slim styles, I still wanted something in between. After an e-mail or two with Larry Davidson, he informed me he offered an N'Between'R sized grip which ran about .200-.220" in thickness. Further, he could customize the grips for various textures. For example, the 4x4's that I was interested in could be in a smooth, semi-smooth, or not so smooth texture. Or, he could have 'smoothed out' the horned lizards... With all the different grip styles Larry offers the possibilities are endless! Larry's willingness to customize grips is simply not something I've experienced with other makers.
So, I decided on the perfect grip, ordered Wednesday and they were at my door Friday. Just unbelievable. He also followed up with some e-mails on how they fit. I ended up shaving about 1 millemeter off the stock bushings to cinch them down... but now they're just perfect!
Long story short, Larry is an AWESOME guy to deal with and I just wanted to give him a 'shout out'.
Larry's the man. Got my Horned Lizard grips the other day, and love 'em. He's quick to respond to emails, follows through personally, and makes a great set of grips.
As he says: "I'll take care of the rest"... Indeed he did!
I was a little surprised at the weight of the G-10 grips, but I like the feel. Good thing my magwell is aluminum, I think I'll still make competition weight. I think.
Excellent work Mr. Davidson! I just ordered new grips last week elsewhere and I wish I'd seen your work first. Will keep you in mind for my next set though:rock:
One more enthusiastic vote for Larry. I had a somewhat custom request for him, and what was my mistake in clarification, he took upon himself to fix by sending me another set done the right way, no expense to me. Simply fantastic service, period.
I have a set of the green WYRM grips on my parkerized SA I shoot IDPA with.
As good as all the grips look the real thing is how well you can grip them. Even in the Summer heat with sweaty hands I can get the secure grip I want and need.
I will not use any other grips and I really like my WYRMs but dang, I might buy a different set just because they look so good.
Just to let you know that I had placed my order on a sunday around 11:00 am and he replied about 15 min later. Here it is Thursday and by the tracking number should be here today. Can't wait to get home!!!!:biglaugh:
You said it all about Larry, I think that everyone who talks about him, talks about the best. Will post photos in the morning of my Springfield micro compact 1911 45
