    Thompson Contender Grips

    Does anyone remember a grip maker that advertised in many of the shooting magazines under BY HIS Hands. His website contained many religious and Biblical quotes. He made the grips and fore ends out of various woods and featured a style called Victorian Rounds. I can't find any reference to him at the present time. I would like to order a grip and fore end from him. Doesany one remember him or know what happened to his business?

    T/C had several different types of grips over the years but one in particular was absolutely wonderful with finger grooves and rests in exactly the right place. I wonder if the maker of those is the one you are talking about.

    Herretts Grips use to make T/C grips, and the above-mentioned finger grooved style. I don't know if that's who you're looking for though.

    Thanks to all that replied, but the aftermarket grip maker I have been looking for was not among the ones mentioned in the replies posted' I am sure the guy I am looking for is no longer making grips. It has been 20 years or so since I have seen his ads in various gun magazines. Thanks to all who offered their help.

    Tony’s Forends and Grips maybe? That’s an add that runs on the Specialty Pistols Forum.

    I remember seeing the His Hands add several years ago but have not saw it recently. I have custom grips from Ga. Jim and Dave Dolin that works well for me on my contenders. Tony's Grips is an advertiser on specialty pistols and am sure he makes good grips also. There are others that have already been mentioned also.
