..there's another place in texas where young men "lean forward in the saddle" while out on the range...
their coffee cups are pressed steel and the coffee is served normally just about warm and with half a teaspoon of grounds in each canteen cup...
with the sun not quite up, huddled in the chill,young and not so young, weathered faces smile and tell lies about each other, their last deployment and how combat is easier to deal with than readjusting to life back home...
the north range is vast and open at ft hood (now cavazos), and without the politics and pandering by officers looking to get promoted, it's a time in the day that before the turbines spool up and the cannons are loaded - for that moment life is good.
...and that my friends, grounds, sand and all - is good coffee....

when i was a kid, i saw a 28 with a 6" barrel and had to have it!
like i said, i was a kid.. putting myself through college but even a 28 (which was about half the price of a 27 with a fancy box) was out of reach.....
now days i casually keep one eye open for one at the gun shows...
just in case...

i had a quick phone call w/altamont a few weeks back - they are "fully employed" turning out grips for a couple of big name outfits.
the small, one-off sort of thing will ramp back up when all of their contracts have been filled...
you don't mention what style grip/gun you are looking for but i would bet there are a fair amount of "opportunities" waiting for your phone call!

of course for all things TC single shot, you should go to Bellm TC or ea brown - they have always been enthusiatic with providing insights!
and let's not forget all the great stuff that don bower did back in the day when folks would scoff at his claims of long range accuracy!

fwiw, there's a post on youtube that shows power senior fitting a #5 (ish) grip to a frame worth looking at...
