Last year in a post, I mentioned my interest in a slightly different Bearcat grip (described below) and there was interest expressed.
I haven't had time to make a set so I'm reaching out to custom grip makers on the forum. Do any of you make grips for the Bearcat? If so, would you make a pair for my Bearcat with a square top like the single six?
Description:
I'm envisioning a pair of grips with a square top that overlays the frame with about 1/16" to 3/32" thickness of wood forward of the medallion. The 'square top' would extend forward following the lower frame contour to within 1/16" of the rear trigger guard/frame seam. The vertical forward edge forms a 90 degree corner where it meets the top horizontal edge extending back to the uppermost corner of the standard Bearcat grip. This horizontal upper edge would leave a sliver of the frame behind the hammer exposed on each side above the grip panel just like a single six. The rest of the grip would mimic the original Bearcat with the 1/2 round inlayed in the grip frame.
A Bearcat medallion would be placed exactly in the same location of a standard Bearcat grip, centered in the 1/2 round area looking from the backside of the grip. Screw hole would be in the standard position.
Anyone interested in making a set as described? Would any other Bearcat owners be interested in grip panels like this?
