Templates for 1927A1 Front Grip?


Recommended Posts

Are any measurement templates available so a slab-sided front- grip can be re-sanded into the original front-grip contour?

I'm thinking about measurement templates that can be placed on the front-grip to see where wood has to be removed.

 

Best regards,

I looked in Tracy Hill’s “The Ultimate Thompson” book and there are drawings of the original Thompson parts, which includes the vertical front grip. The problem is however, some of the dimensions are missing; whether on purpose or not I don’t know. I purchased an after market grip from Sarco, which was fairly close and reconfigured it as close as possible to the drawing dimensions. I did have to drill the bolt hole at a bit of a different angle because the front grip on the Kahr Thompson is not at all like the originals. If you would like, I can trace my grip and send it to you. I also had to carefully widen the mounting slot but if you are a decent woodworker, it is not difficult to do.
