Did Pachmayr used to make Decelerator grips and forends for the G2? I sure liked the ones I had on my old G1. I can shoot them better than the walnut grip I have one of my G2's.
Yes Lyman owns Pachmayr now.

They still sell the "Gripper" style which I really like. It incorporates a swivel stud too. Your hand has a less rakish grip angle which, if you have big or fat hands, places your knuckles closer to the whack of the trigger guard. Just FYI. They never made the smooth earlier Contender style for the G2s.
Thanks WB, gripper style is what I like

was more raked to keep your knuckle from getting whacked, firing things like .45/70. The old Contender was rough like that. But swapping to the Pachmayr you are negating that change somewhat. Just worth noting.
I like them on my guns but I also have no issues with the stock TC G2 stuff. The forends are the same, just different grip. TC stuff has plastic internal framing and Pachmayr is aluminum, so it's a few ounces heavier. I do like the swivels as I often sling my hunting handguns for carry. Others don't like them, but you can also use for bi-pods if recoil is not too bad. A hard kicker can rip the swivel stud right out.
The company that owns Lyman is doing some

cleaning out of accessories that have been very slow sellers and adding new stuff that had been part of another company until recently. So it is possible they may add the parts for the G-2 into the line up.
