American Handgunner March/April 1981

SPEAKourSATISFIED CUSTOMERPRAISES GRIP MAKERIn simple gratitude I would like to relateto you an experience I had with TedSchiermeier.I ordered a set of his two-handed gripsfor an improved Blackhawk frame.When the grips arrived, there was asmall chip in one panel at the triggerguard filler and a tapered gap wasevident at the front seam of the grips.Not being particularly upset, I stuffedthe grips back in the jiffy bag in whichthey had been shipped and returnedthem to Schiermeier, along' with a noteexplaining the problem. I also enclosed acheck for the difference in price betweenthe grips for the Ruger and plain walnutforend and grip f9r a Contender, which Ihad acquired in the meantime.Well, the other night upon returninghome from work, I noticed a jiffy bagpropped up against my door left there bythe mailman (all this takes place throughfirst class mail and so Mr. Schiermeier'sresponse time is quite short) and, sureenough, upon opening I discovered theforend and grip for my Contender. Thedarndest looking walnut I ever ~aw inmy life. Sure looked a lot like myrtle.A phone call to Schiermeier the nextday confirmed my suspicion that the twopieces were well-matched dark myrtle.When I inquired as to whether or not hehad made a mistake because, after all,the myrtle is significantly moreexpensive, .he informed me that he hadnot made a mistake but that this was hismanner of assuring that I would be asatisfied customer.Subsequently, Ed Harris from theNRA mentioned that an acquaintance ofhis had received similar service fromSchiermeier.David M.
