Hi, I have looked at many models and Calibers, and have not seen another, does any one have a DW with a cap on the grips? I have a 15-2 made in 81 according to all records, (Tried to post pic unable to) it has a butt cap on grip made of metal? Have not been able to find another some after market grips by hogue have a cap. But these Grips that are on gun have the DW logo Not DWA.

I've never seen a metal butt-cap on DW grips before .. possibly something added by a previous owner ?

I am sure some handy owner with skills crafted them. Check local machine shops . How is it attached?

Hi Ole Dog, I agree the previous owner was a skilled Gun Smith, the base has access hole so same attachment as other grips, just recessed the plate. So it kind of works like a washer. I Think it looks cool, sort of caught my eye.
