Tyler T Grips- S&W 21-4

[Burnston]

I'd like some feedback on you T Grip users out there. I bought one for my S&W 21-4 and am getting mixed results. Because I love the stag grips, compliments of Mr. Grashorn, I've forced myself to get used to the T Grip, but when shooting the moderate recoil "Skeeter Load" I have noticed just a bit of play in it. This is an unfortunate side-effect when preparing for the follow-up, and happens regardless of how tightly the grips are secured. The photo is more a shout out to Grashorn than a point of reference. 

Any thoughts, similar experiences, or remedies?

Tyler T grips are never a really solid fit as made but when you add the variable of custom grips to the mix it can go bad. Leading edge of the grip varies enough to provide poor stability.
No simple way to fix that, the T was made for S&W grips. But if you like the T enough there are some more permanent things to try.
This is mod. 66 set up for pocket carry so it got small-ish hard slippery grips. Same issue with the T so I got a bigger one (It was for a Colt or Ruger ,I can't remember )where the top wings fit over the frame . I them gave them a gentle squeeze with a vice to snug them up. That made the T grip solid but I had to fit the grips into it (You can see where the grips are relieved around the T )for a good grip and better contact.




It's a solution that's doable but no going back once started .
Less radical way ?
A friend used bedding compound on the T Grip with a lot of release agent on the gun for total , full contact and it came out quite stable. At least it is more reversible ,as long as you don't glue the grip to the gun.

Thanks for the input. What Ruger/Colt grip did you buy that would fit your K-frame?
