Does Simonich still exist?? I've called a half dozen times over the past month and although the machine seems to pick up, I can't get a human to take an order. I've tried email several times as well - I just want a few more sets of the grips! Anyone know if the company folded?

I don't know what the latest news is about Simonich but beware of the Strider gunner grips. They are not the same product as the original Simonich gunner grips and I have heard more negative reviews than positive.
 
Re: Gunner Grips?

The Striders are a bit different, they used to be about the same dimensions as the Simonich Gunners. Over the past few years they have changed the pattern as well as the thickness, still great grips though.
 
Re: Gunner Grips?

Tried to call Simonich again this morning.....AND GOT THROUGH! three sets of grips en route

Re: Gunner Grips?

Thats pretty wild, i spoke with Christine at Simonich Knives this past Tuesday. She told me they no longer sold the Gunner grips and directed me to Brownells.

Quick question were your Midway ones Oval dimples or perfect circular dimples?

Thanks.

Hmmm....now you have me worried. I made a point of asking her if these were the original configuration as I'd like them to be identical to my other grips that I've gotten from her in years past and she said they were.

They were supposed to ship out yesterday so we'll see....

Re: Gunner Grips?

Well if you would keep us posted on this. I hope it works out for you. I'd be curious to know what this is all about. I actually recieved mine in the mail today from Brownells. This may be something others know that i dont, but when I first opened them they were a very odd color. Almost white? I thought this cant be right? Well after I drenched them with an oil wipe, they turned the correct (coyote brown) color? Anyone ran into this yet with them?
 
Re: Gunner Grips?

There is a possibility that Christine meant that they no longer offer them in "coyote". Thats the only reasonable conclusion i can figure after pondering for a few minutes...
 
Re: Gunner Grips?

Fingers crossed here, I like my two sets that I've had for three years and would like the same thing (black, flat bottom for magwell).

I guess I'll know in a few days.....
 
Re: Gunner Grips?

Poop. Well, unless hatidua get's some spherical ones, I guess I'm going to have to buy more of the nighthawk G10 golfball grips.
 
Re: Gunner Grips?

-Just got my three sets of black Gunner Grips from Simonich in the mail today - they're the real deal.

Well, that's the beauty of it: they look just like all the other black Simonich Gunner Grips.
