I have a set of Miculek speed grips that I got 2nd or 3rd hand in 1999. I tried them some time ago and didn't have much luck fitting them to the 625. Time passes, Now I have a 625-6 MG and decided to have another go at it. Still didn't want to fit. So I pick up the keyboard and contact Bang Inc. The worst they can do is nothing right?
Well I got a response the next day from Kay Clark Miculek(sure hope I'm spelling that right). She said that Jerry was in South Africa at the world shoot and that he'd contact me when he got back and asked me for my phone number. Hmmmm. Time passes. I send another email. I get another response that he's out of town. I figured I'd try one more time. With in a few hours my office phone rings. Who's on the other end but Jerry himself. Cool huh?
He told me the scoop on why he hadn't contacted me. Work, classes, matches, catching up etc. I really do understand. Then we started talking about the problem I had getting the grips to work. He asked a few questions. He said that he thought, based on the symptoms that the stirrup strut was too long and preventing the grips from seating correctly. Okay. In the end he offered to swap the ones I had for a new set if I couldn't get them to work. Nice offer since I didn't even buy them new.
Then I asked him about the South Africa shoot. We talked for a while about the stages and tactics and reloading. A very nice man.
He was right. I shortened the strut and the grips slid right into place. I like them. Now I just have to learn to shoot the thing. I think I'll order the videos next.
While the response wasn't lightening fast, it came from the man himself. I understand that he's busy. I really appreciate that he handled it himself. It says a lot to me and about him.
