Is Horton still in business?

[stephen.hirasuna]

I'm interested in a grip for a .22 pardini that has a 1911 grip angle. Have tried email and a phone call, but with no sucess. Is he out of town, or somehow indisposed? Thanks.

talked to him about four weeks ago and sounds like he is still in business...

Please advise as I was just thinking the same thing. I need a lefty pardini in .45 angle!
Thanks!

It turns out, he has a day job, so it looks like he replies on the weekends, which he did. He not only emailed me, but called me this morning. Very nice guy to talk to, and to deal with. Have sent in the required xerox of my hand and a ruler, as well as a check for $270.00 Looking at about a 2 week turn around, according to Mr. Horton. Looking forward to trying this on my Pardini.

Dick Horton is alive and well and currently accepting grip orders.

I ordered and have received a Horton Grip, with the GT45 grip angle. The workmanship is awesome. The fit of the grip to my hand is amazingly exact. Shot with the grips today and only dropped 1 point at 25yds. for the standard short line bulleseye format. Obviously, won't do that well when there's a match, but that's a good enough start for me.

Not only that, but the grip angle was upright enough so that my tennis elbow wasn't aggravated, which is the reason a different grip was desire.

Couldn't be happier.
