Looks like a Tyler grip adapter.

Thanks. That photo is a pretty bad example. Some come looking more stock than that.

Tyler T-Grip. Don't try ordering one new, though.....the company has been having issues and the ordering process is very bad now.

You can find them on e-bay and Gunbroker.

Tyler T-Grips and Trigger Shoes

 

[mikec]

One of the simplest and best creations ever. Back in the early '80s when Colt reintroduced the Agent, a .38 Special six shot revolver, the grip panels were too small for a good grip. I tried various aftermarket grips but most caused printing when I carried the Agent. (Different state and I had a permit) Someone somewhere suggested the T-Grip and I got one. I put the factory grip panels back on, with the adapter and the gun was then comfortable to carry and shot like a dream.

Be careful with the trigger shoes if you use a holster. Some of them can be wider than the trigger guard.

Pacymeyer also made a version.

At work they used to have Range Revolver with square bottom Magnas. , and a grip adapter as an orthopedic gun for small handed people. If no actual munchkins needed it , I would use it because I have less than ideal fit to the issued grips.

Bottom line : with the grip adapter gave indexing as good as nice fitting boot grips, but the control ( torquing in hand) not as good. *For me* an acceptble trade off up thru .38+P .

I had a T-Grip on my Airweight I carried in Texas. Loved that thing. Like was already said, simple and effective.

I thought that's where the heat-seeking boolits came out of??
