    Hard Pushed

    You'll be hard pushed mate . Have only ever seen custom grips on the wide frame early Crosman 357 - cos enough metal behind the grips to actually fit grips to. All later 357 variations like this Vigilante have a diff frame . Still doable but you'll run ragged asking people . And when you finally get searching around the World , that bloke in Canada who knew a thing or two about making grips for the 357 - chucked it in some years back [ his vids on the Tube are still worth watching ].
    Personnaly , I'd get an early 357 and sell the Vigilante on . Swoppable barrels , proper grip frame .... beautiful gun

    You'd have to come up north to The Shire and spend some time learning the lingo , bypassing the horsie snobs and Brizzle too , and stay well clear the Forest d'rectly mind - too many Yaffats lurking thereabouts . Come spend time with some real country folk - and our pies are proper lush !
