(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
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.

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.
