Question about Rink's 7 offset grips

[jabberwo]

I have a deformed right arm. I put a lot of putty on my Pardini grips to fill in the empty space when I revolve my hand around grip so I can line up the sites/dot without having to pivot my wrist. On my Steyr air gun I rotate the grips as much as possible, even shaved some wood to rotate even more.

I wonder if Rink's 7 offset grips would help with the Pardini and also my Colt bullseye guns. Can someone who has one of these grips tell me if they do more than just pad the rear of the grip to push the heel of the palm? Do you also rotate the finger flats; so they are not perpendicular to the bore? Then it would be like my Steyr's; which I love.

thanks,

Hi. Rink Grips are essentially designed to offset the sights being aligned towards the left. You wont be able to rotate the grip like you can on the Steyr (with the help of the offset screws on the frame of the Gun) . So the best option would be to find a local grip maker and invest in getting exactly what you want made to your requirements. All the best

There's also epoxy putty cheap.

I've got plenty of modeling clay on the grip now, but that doesn't help without reshaping the ball, palm-finger valley, and the angle of the finger flats. Just pushing the heel of the palm to the right makes for an unnatural feeling grip because of the wrist angles it forces.

Luckily I finally got an answer from Mr. Rink, "our 7 degree turned grips the whole grip form is turned around the vertikal axis. At the 1911 we are restricted a little bit, because of the pistol frame." So it's a stay at getting my SP to feel more like my Styer.

So if anyone has one to sell, guess I'm in the market for one!
