Welcome to the forum. Interesting grip.   

Yea, can't seem to be able to tell if it's an original that's been modified or something custom.

 

Any suggestions?

I have seen the early pistol paks which came with a carve it yourself block of wood...my guess is this is one that was carved.

Welcome to DWF! That gun looks familiar, have I possibly seen it on the FaceBook group?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Well,  I guess I'll just have to watch the swapping and selling forum and auction sites if I want an original.

I'm always afraid of buying grips and holsters without seeing/feeling them for real. Got too many that turned out to be mediocre.

FeePay is your best bet for OEM grips, with GB a good second. I don't know about you, but I rarely can determine the feel of a grip from just the appearance. Sometimes the funkiest looking shape can be great and one that looks great didn't work out. Also, a grip shape that works on one firearm may not, on another.

goodluck

That Stinger fellow sure is smart. lol2. And a good friend.  The  grip may have been carved out of a target grip. Or a block. Definitely a custom job.
