I bought a set of "Uberti 51" grips form
Dixie Gun Works this week and am beyond disappointed. I usually fit new grips myself by cutting these one piece sets in two and then fitting a new glued in spacer before doing the final fitting, sanding & finish. Saves lots of time as opposed to making a set from scratch.
Anyway, I have never seen a set from
Uberti like this one before!! Three big issues:
1. if this wood is walnut then Pettifigger is my uncle
2. they had a huge dent in the critical area where they meet the frame that is too deep to sand out.
3. they have some goofy type of router pattern on each one.
Here's the huge dent:
I called
DGW and the woman said to ship them back, but they had no more. She swore up & down these were made by
Uberti, but I think someone in Purchasing did otherwise.
