Would anyone happen to know a maker of grips for a free pistol? I have an old udo anschutz 210 that I'm trying to bring back to life.

I think Larry's Guns has some grips you might be able to adapt. There's always the option of making them yourself, Igor's blog has a good writeup about pistol grip making.

Another question regarding free pistol grips.......
I cannot straighten my elbows fully due to old lifting injuries - the result being that my grips need to be more vertical for all my pistols, to allow for a nearly ten degree shortfall in extension. I am looking for a free psitol that has an adjustable rake to accomodate but the manufacturers photos or specifications aren't very clear on this. Has anyone had a similar experience or can anyone let me know of a pistol with a large degree of rake adjustment. I'm thinking it will be a pistol with mechanical trigger.

Hi jbshooter,

You may want to look into some of the older free pistols. The Hammerli 100 series, especially the original model 100, was often made to order. One option you needed to supply to Hammerli when placing an order was whether you shot with a bent or straight elbow.
Original paperwork I have specifies this option. I have a number of original Hammerlis built both ways. You can instantly tell the difference.

Feel free to pm me if you'd like more info. I can probably help locate something if you're interested.

Best Regards,
Jim

I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the short lived Steyr FP had adjustable rake same as the Steyr air pistols. Good luck fining one, definately none in NZ.

JB Shooter, your problem i easily fixed with a Pardini k22 and a little carving. just a little.

Has anyone used a 3D printer to make grips yet. Just wondering......

Is the rake on a Pardini FPM or a Matchguns MG5 adjustable. The websites and manuals aren't very clear on this.

Pardini no, Matchguns yes.

There was a lengthy piece on PBS News Hour last night about three dimensional printing of very complex objects. Far more complex than a grip. One Cornell student made ballet shoes to fit her feet perfectly. I predict it will eventually be done and that the top shooters will, within five years, have custom 3D printed grips on their pistols. No more Moreni paste......need an adjustment, tweak the printout.
