ENCORE GRIP

[encore22]

Does anyone know if Jim Ishmael made grips for the Encore?

jim made his grips primarily for the NRA Hunter pistol crowd although his grips were also approved for IHMSA use.
I attended approx. 10 NRA Hunter Pistol National championships and talked to Jim at every one of them.

I never saw a single shooter ever use an encore. I saw an occasional RPM and even a BF, but 99.9% of them used Contenders and G1 contenders. I never saw a G2 contender either.

Well, Jim, you just were never here when that happened. For a few years, I used an Encore in .414 SuperMag in UAS, and since 2003, I've been shooting my free G2 in 6mm TCU in Unlimited Big bore.

I think Jim meant he never saw an encore at the hunter pistol nationals.

414 supermag, now that's a cool caliber.

[Jimologist]

That is correct. I was referring to NRA Hunter pistol matches. I've seen several IHMSA shooters use Encores and G2's

Jim Ishmael catered to the NRA crowd primarily.

I was hoping that the remarks here would be that Jim did make Encore grips and someone had one for sale. Not happening. Thanks for the response.
