Suppressors Thomas .45 - Repalcement Grips

[GracieSymon]

Help please. I have an Alexander James Ordinance Thomas .45 pistol manufactured in the late 1970s. The company was only in business for a few years and closed in 1979, after manufacturing only 750 handguns. The grips on these pistols were poorly made and mine has cracked. I would like to find someone who can create new grips for this pistol. I have all the old parts. Thanks in advance for your assistance. A picture of this gun can be found on Gun Broker.

I can't find a pic of it on GB. My Googlefu is apparently pretty weak too... Is it a semi, revolver, 1911, clone, or what?

It is a bit of an odd weapon. It is a bears some resemblance in operation to an HK P7. On the Thomas, the squeeze cocking mechanism is on the back strap and for the HK it is on the front of the grip. For some reason I am having a problem inserting a picture into this response so here is a link to a picture of the gun. The link is form the High Road; it also has some history of the gun.

arterg, the only issue is that David will not have original grips. His work is superb (and you can finish if required) and these will not crack.

Thank you Rolling Thunder this is precisely the information I was looking for. The original grips are very flimsy, poorly designed, and they cracked. I will be contacting David.
