its been a while since I bought pachmayr grips, but I just got in the gripper for my N frame and it is disappointing.
I have pachmayrs on all of my S&W revolvers and love the way they fit my hand, from the compacts to the open back strap versions to the full size gripper. however, this gripper I got has a slight amount of slop when fastened to my gun. I don't know how to accurately describe it other than when holding the gun by the grip, I can take move the gun about 1/8" up and down while the grip is still. this is not a loose slop, I have to put a little torque on it. Next, the grip screw is too long and protrudes from the other side when tightened. for some reason pachmayr did not install the brass washer insert/spacer in the grips screw bore. I've read that complaint before from other but figured somebody just lost it...
so, anyone disenchanted with pachmayr's quality lately?
