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'.
Question, I was looking at his page (http://www.davidsonknives.com/grips/grips.htm), and notice that most of the grips are black and gray. Does he offer them in plain black? I'm particularly interested in the Horned Lizard or the WYRM.
The thing that surprised me about the horned lizards was the raised texture. I thought what I saw in photos was just a visual pattern like the grain of wood grips. Haven't had a chance for a range trip since installing them.
I didn't see this thread, and didn't want to miss a chance to tell the maker how much I like them. I was really impressed with the speed of production and shipping, customer service, and wow, I didn't know there was something cool enough to make me take the Shadow grips off this cco, but these did.
This pair is called the Horned Lizard in Tan. It also has a palm swell that is hard to see, but it is there if you follow the lines very closely. The holster is a High Noon Down Under IWB. The background is an IDPA target, the clip is a CheckMate.
i have no pics, but i received a set of 4x4's for my lil STI LS9 yesterday. Put them on, and I have to say, they fit perfect, and look great, feel great too. Thank you Larry, great work, can't wait to find out how it shoots with um on later this evening.
