"big bad" John? I thought he died many years ago in a mining accident Frank, [img]biggrin.gif[/img] or at least that's what I remember hearing Jimmy Dean say ... I used to hear that song a lot considering that my family roots includes coal mining in southern VA and WV...
As far as the study on real/fake "Black Widow" grips goes... Luke Smithwick and I were collecting good photographs of known good grips and a couple of bad ones... The article just hasn't been finished because Luke and I have had our hands full of other things to do (especially me since this new forum format was implemented) but I hope to get back to it sometime this fall if Luke is available to help.
I will keep a note of who has genuine grips that we can use as part of the study and you in particular will be contacted when we are ready...
I will probably make an announcement on the forum requesting photographic input at that time as well.
For Ed Tinker... as far as what to do in the updated FAQ regarding the question on these types of grips? Just leave a space and put "answer pending" for now...
