Really its my name, David Swindler. There is nothing you can say about my name that would be new to me after 53 years :) . My Dads last name was Swindler and his Dads last name was Swindler and so on and so forth.
Its ok..... I don't mind the poke at the name :roll: .
I have had a few people tell me they really like the look of my grips but they would never send there grip frame to a guy named SWINDLER.................................Really? Are you kidding me?

My name is Swindler... I am a Republican... I believe the Constitution is the LAW OF THE LAND. It can't be changed because it don't fit you

I have a pair of David's grips and they are outstanding. I would not hesitate to send a grip frame for grip fitting - as a matter of fact I need to do just that for one of my Bisley's soon. :)

I believe I made a comment similar to that. I was joking, seriously. I had no idea that was your real name. I am waiting on some stuff to sell so I can pick up a set of your grips. I have no real problem with your name.

I see your from Ohio, I have passed a repair shop south of Springfield with the same name. I always thought he had to be a honest mechanic, or didn't like working.

Long as your a Republican your name is fine by me, I too would be very interested to see what you make and find out more what you have to offer.

I've seen several of Swindler1's grips for sale and he included pictures. If you go to his profile and click on "other posts buy user" you can find several with pictures. Looks like to me he does nice work.

He has also started several thread here with pics of his grips. It's pretty clear he does very nice work and his price is excellent.

I have to assume anyone named Swindler bends over backwards to be honest...or else opens a used car lot.

Do you offer grips with checkering?

Well hey neighbor- I am a short spit away. Located near Enon.
At least you did not have to grow up with a name like my grandfather. Peter Leader ( a lot of names can come from this) even though the last name spelling is different.
I like your work by the way.

My last name is Shewmaker - Nope, never made a single pair :roll: but some ancestor must have! I must admit, I prefer to get the "shoe" comments than be looked at sideways because of my surname. :?

I need some grips for my Rugers - I'll try to check out the pic's when I have time. Good luck.

Thanks,
