Does any one have a picture of a Michigan Style Grip?

It's possible there may be one in a catalog. 

Apparently the Michigan State Police purchased a number of service revolvers and asked for this style. Much like what occurred with Sacramento.

That's what I was thinking. I contacted one seller who also happens to be a member here and he said he didn't think so. That's what prompted this thread.

 

Thanks, just checked again drool

I can assure you it is most definitely Lawrence 

 

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.

Good question, and I'm not sure.embarassed It may be because many of the Sacramento police preferred this style? That's my best guess so far.

I always wondered how the Sacramento grips got their name.  Makes sense, but I still don't like them! yell

I think these are “Target” and “Michigan” styles from looking at the Price List.

Do they have Arequipa style grips there or are they all Peruvian?
