Have a search around for Barry Cameron. He is a grip maker from the western suburbs of Sydney.
I have never had one made by him but from all reports he does a nice job.
I had my grips made by Sergei in Melbourne. He is a unbelievable craftsman, but it is a big committment to get yourself there. I was there for two days getting two grips done, then had my flight cancelled on the way home and had to wait overnight.
The results were well worth it though in my opinion.

Billy75,
Do you shoot rapid fire??
I have a question regarding your grips made from Sergei...
How does the fit feel when you are pulling the trigger for other than precision?
Does the grip feel like there is any movement whilst maintaining sight picture and pulling the trigger?
Does the Sergei grip give full contact to your whole hand, even whilst holding firmly?
Does your hand slot into the same position every single time you place your hand the grip?

I've had exactly the same problem. I emailed them (Gustav and Dennis) in March and have since followed up three times without hearing a peep. I too was looking for a grip for an Baikal MCM and also a Walther GSP.A74BEDLM wrote:Has anyone heard from or used Marschalgrips.com recently?
I sent them an email a month ago about grips for a Baikal MCM and had no response - there is no contact tel number either?
Could be just my hotmail being blocked?!
Anyone know if they are still in business (their website is still active).

Fellow Shooters,
I read and re-read all of the comments that were posted. As I live in Sydney and still in the first 6 months of a probation licence, my options are limited with whom I can get a grip made from.
I stayed locall and called Barry Cameron, explainied my situation and he was most welcoming with my circumstances.
After 3 hours of back and forth, the grip was complete.
At first shoot with new grip, I added 17 points to my personal best.
A little more shooting presnted the fact that I needed adjustments.
Not knowing the mechanics of it all, I still tried adjust with sandpaper and a dremell, but couldn't create the right fit.
I called Barry again and his knowledge, effort and enthusiasm toward helping me achieve my goal was unbelievable.
He came out to the range where the pistol is stored with a bag of goodies and went to work. He taught me how to adjust and the basic mechanics so that I would be confident in making the correct adjustments in the future.
Barry ensured my complete happiness and confidence before he left and I was on my way again. UNREAL!!!
Since then, I have used the knowledge Barry instilled in me regarding grip adjustment and through continous application with coinfidence, I have found a formula that is working great with still more improvements to come.
I haven't been able to shoot a match with this grip yet as my slide is cracked and awaiting new parts, so I'm dry firing up the wazoo and the sights are more stable and consistent than ever.
Again, I'm appreciative of all the posts as I have what I want.
Thanks to all and Barry

Hi all ,
I can also confirm that Barry Cameron does an excellent job with grips , especially american black walnut! , as I have had a few made by him over the years. The attention to detail is second to none.

Dean

Given that Barry normally does at least one (preferably more) face-to-face fitting session with the shooter to fine tune the fitting, that could be an expensive exercise.Scrench wrote:I'd like to get a grip made for my Baikal 46M. If you think Barry Cameron would do it, how do I get in touch with him from the states? Anyone with his email?
Thanks In Advance,
Richard
I will pass on your enquiry on Wednesday.
Yes that would make it a little impractical, but maybe he could do it with a detailed drawing of my hand or a plaster mold. Thanks for asking him.

No email reply from Marschalgrips.com
I emailed them 3 weeks ago with no reply. Could it be that I'm looking for a TOZ35 grip?
The email is listed in the UK (I'm in the States), Don't know if someone in the UK has a contact.
I see that you can still order other grips online: http://www.marschalgrips.com/onlineorder/shop2.html
Has anyone just ordered and received anything lately (2011)?

Re: No email reply from Marschalgrips.com
He's using a yahoo.co.uk email address. That's about as universal as a gmail.com address.chuckjordan wrote:The email is listed in the UK (I'm in the States), Don't know if someone in the UK has a contact.
I thought he was based in Hungary.
I am looking for a Baikal MCM Margolin grip and Marschall were the only one's who seem to make ISSF grips for these pistols. Its looking more and more likely they have gone out of business but website still up - no response to emails - no company listing for address or telephone number on the usual company search websites.
Anyone else make MCM Margolin grips?

I googled about marschalgrips and there were some recent hits. People were successfully ordering from him (them) and receiving grips (from as recent as July 2011). Payments are by PayPal (which I believe could be refunded is the doesn't deliver). So I see little risk.
If he had a different grip on a gun that I could use, I'd order it and see what happens. PayPal could always refund it (so you'd be floating some money).

Unfortunately the Baikal MCM Margolin grip is not one of the grips you can order on the website as no listing on the order forms. I emailed the Australian company in the post above a few days after the post but no response from them either. Looking like a custom grip from Rink might be the only option.
