If I do the gap gets wider.Loosen the screw!
If I do the gap gets wider.
They do close up and line up properly off the gun. I thought the locater pin wasn't going in one of the holes so I took it out. The gap won't close with the screw completely out but the gap is bigger with it out. I sent them a message with pics so we shall see what they say.My guess would be just a little too much rubber in the frame recess.
Take the grips off. Do they close and line up properly? IF so, you need to remove a little rubber from the frame recess.
If not, and they are warped, contact the maker for a replacement.
It looks like the frame recess isn't quite deep enough at the front, and the grip is being stretched slightly to wrap around the front of the frame, and so, not lining up properly, creating the gaps.
I think I'd rather have the gap and I know my wife would. I don't think the gap will pinch her fingers. Will try to find out tomorrow. If it does I'll try some wider wood grips that change the contour from a round butt to a square butt to help spread out the force.Two words: duct tape. At least until you can get another brand. It seems Pachmayr are not what they use to be.
... The only time I ever had an issue with a set was when I ought a set to fit my K frame Combat Masterpiece. The screw fell right on top of the mainspring and it wouldn't work. I called CS and basically got "blown off" by the person I talked to - I was polite and explained the issue and the person was less than pleasant and basically told me that if I read the fine print, they fit "most" K frames. I like the grips but will nether CS response. I will n ver buy another pair of them just based on the response from their customer swerve department.
I wiggled, jiggled, twisted, stretched and pulled on these things for awhile. I even took the locator pin out. I'm not trying to get it to fit MY hand. I'm just trying to get it to be pain free for her to shoot.I'd be thinking the grips aren't quite on correctly. Never had any issues with any Pachmayr kit myself. They do sometimes require a bit of wiggling and jiggling though.
Why are you ordering grips for her revolver? The thing has to fit her hand, not yours.
