Just getting in line........Havn't posted here in a while.

I would also love to purchase a pair, or two, of those camo grips!!!

I think the black/white swirl looks the best but honestly, any variation would be an excelent improvement to my slightly ill-fitting thumbrest grips I have now.

Please add me to the list!!!!

I will have some good photos of grips tomorrow of 3 variations of camo grips I have done. I will be able to do most colors. I think they look pretty good on the P-64 and the finish is tough and I can do many color variations. I have had all the equipment already and honestly redoing these grips makes them look factory new and modern.

Just to be upfront here with everyone.. I will be doing this for a limited time basis only. After doing several already it is honestly not worth my time in doing them I have discovered. Kinda labor intensive for the relatively small project it is. Anyway I just feel like doing something that some of you guys might like. If know one cares for them then it is really no big deal really. I mean that... It took me 4 hours for 3 grips and another hour for clean up. Anyway if you want some than I will be happy to do yours for you for a small fee but only will do at the most 20 grips. I will make a list of those interested. Anyway thanks for reading.

I think I'd like to get in on the limited edition TTH grip. Looking forward to seeing more of your work Troy. The refinishing and holster work, along with your manuals have been outstanding.

Ok here is goes....
Completely refinished grips... Starting with your grips being...

-Degreased
-Aluminum oxide blasted 120grit
-Washed again
-3 Coats of base Duracoat finish
-Either 2 color or 3 color camo scheme. (colors shown are just a few of the colors I can do)

Cost is $22 including return shipping.

Incase you don't know about Duracoat from Lauer Custom Weaponry, I will tell you that it is one of the toughest firearm finishes you can get. I have done it on many pistols including many guys here and the Makarov board. Almost all my personal guns are Duracoated and it is far tougher than any factory finish I have experience with. Once your grip is done you will not be able to remove the color with cleaning solvent. The only way to sort of remove it is to reblast it and re-duracoat it another color. It will not chip, peal or flake. It is damn tough.
Here are photos, pm me if you want your grips done.

You are the man! Looks great! I ask my wife if I could send the original "Bubbaized" grips to you for refinish. I will have to see if they can be fixed a bit before sending them to you though. I will post pics if I can figure out if I can upload from my computers hard drive, can this be done? Good looking grips Troy,

In my area in Ohio there is a local range that has a "gun club" called the "pink pistols" this is (I'm told) a mens club.

I wouldn't take that bet???

If those grips are still up for grabs I would really love a set of the black and white ones. I am sorry but I am not able to check in here every day could you hit me with a message or use my email? I would be happy to send a check tomorrow.
