I was looking at the Pachmayr web site getting some info on their rubberish grips
(Disclaimer: I like Pachmayr grips. Way back when, any handgun that came my way almost always sent me to the store to the Pachmayr catalog to see if they had grips for them. Even, (gasp!) single action cowboy style 6-shooters, which I agree should have wooden grips but for me comfort trumps looks/tradition. This was before the advent of the interwebs.)
Anyway I found this warning on the rubber grips I was looking at:
I wouldn't/didn't ever consider the grips containing any lead in their manufacture but I admit I sure don't know about these things.
So:
1. Do Pachmayr grips contain lead and just by holding them I will be exposed?
2. Are the folk in CA saying I will get lead exposure from shooting?
3. If number 2 is correct then once again CA is being silly and IMhO disingenuous, i.e. they are NOT being truthful.
P.S. I am WAY past the time where this would actually concern/alarm me personally. Like I said I've used and enjoyed their grips for years and years, I'm just curious.
