DW Grips question
 

While surfing the web for grips for the VBOB I'm finding few specifically designed for this piece. Sarge offers them, but of course he is sold out. His site states many of his regular bobtail grips won't fit the VBOB. For those who know, what makes this gun different grip-wise from other bobtails? Anybody other than Sarge offer VBOB grips? (I don't mean to insult our inhouse grip masters, just don't know if y'all make these grips. Please chime in if you do) Thanks.

BTW, not a big fan of VZ types. I prefer wood or bone or horn...

Mods: please change the title to read "Grips" instead of "Drips" lol

From your original title, I thought your pistol caught the clap. Check with Zane

I read once why he says some of his grips won't work on the vbob but I can't remember now why.

all my bobtail grips seem to work just fine on a vbob.

:D Will you fix that for me please? Thanks.

I'm in the process of contacting Zane..

Whatcha got, hmmm? Bone? Antler? Really dark wood?

I'm trying. I mostly edit cussfights

Thanks Mike...:hail:

I went to fix it but he beat me to it.

I've got boxes and boxes of wood and can order some stag, elk antler or Giraffe bone .

I have this set finished and for sale, wouldn't take much to bobtail them.

He must be outta likker, we know he ain't that fast.

I'm surprised he was able to fix it with that caveman inteernet connection! :eek:

I have a set of grips from Zane. NICE! I Love them! Very High Quality workmanship!

Zane does very fine work, I've got several of his sets.

I've gotten a few sets from Zane. Very happy with them. We're working on a set for the new one now.

While many of the websites list grips as "sold out," I have found that when I contact the grip maker, they are very willing to make the grips, as I request. This has been my experience over the last 20 years of buying custom grips. It was my experience most recently with Esmeralda (2 years ago) and is currently my experience with Ryan (Sarge). I am awaiting a set of Ironwood grips for my VBob. :D

I was just looking around at Wilson Combat. They have a sale on grips right now.

If memory serves, the Vbob frame and Cbob frame are slightly different dimensionally.
Most massed produced bobtail grips will work on either frame just fine. Sarges grips are different because he makes a fuller grip. This means less of the frame showing behind the panels. His grips are made to fit the whole frame. Since there is a difference between the two, when ordering from Sarge, you need to specify V or C bob.
Example - Sarges Box Elder Burl on my Rogers Precision SA Mil-Spec.

I third...or forth or whatever... Zane. I have some ivory grips on my VBOB that he shaped for me.
