At long last, and after many years of putting it off, I finally came up with a way for you to build a great multi-level back 1935 Browning grip! All my grips are formed in molds, with the back being the open top, so for years I only made flat-back grips. Some of them were easy to route or relieve with a Dremel or other rotary bit tool, and some also used a raised spacer which was easy to attach with a film of 5-minute epoxy glue, once you fitted the grip to the gun.

But the Browning M35 and several similar guns use at least three levels on the back.

Level 1 is the surface of the gun frame, which is also the surface of the grip back. Level 2 is the spacer which fills in the magazine well cutouts. It is easy to add by sanding a spacer to fit into the magazine well cutout, and epoxy gluing the spacer to the back of the grip. Level 3 is the wrap-around spacer which fits around the back area of the magazine well. It also is added by epoxy gluing it to the grip, and then sanding the junction smooth.

This is a slightly advanced kit, because of the spacers and the small amount of routing at the top, but having put the grips on my own Brownings, I do not find them nearly as difficult to make or fit as I had imagined they would be. You can do it with nothing more than a fingernail sanding board, a little 5-minute epoxy glue, and perhaps a small amount of acetone or fingernail polish remover in case you get epoxy glue where it should not be (the grips are not harmed by this solvent, but epoxy glue dissolves and is wiped way easily with acetone dampened rags).

But be sure that you understand, this is a kit which will require 20-30 minutes of gentle sanding and fitting, not a finished and ready to install grip. It's not difficult to do. It just requires slightly more fitting of the spacers since there are two spacers per panel, instead of one (as with the 1908, 1910, and similar small autos).

Each grip normally uses a separate screw, which comes with the gun and is not provided with the grip kit. These screw into the gun, which has a hole through the frame with threads. However, it is possible to use a No.2 screw (with the ferrule and nut, press fit into the grips) provided your gun has a clear hole all the way through the frame. Because of the variation, copies, and so forth with this very popular design, you might have a gun where the grip screw hole is blocked. If you want to use the No.2 mounting kit, I can install it. But please make sure it will work with your particular gun: remove the grips and see if there is a clear hole all the way through the gun frame.



If you wish to send a tracing with the screw hole indicated, that would be fine. But as with the true 1911 Colt grips, the size and shape are fairly standardized with the M35 Browning. It's likely to fit nearly any version that is a true copy of the original.

Stock items (medallions, screws, specials) usually ship within 10 days.
I can't promise a specific ship date, as it will vary with circumstances.
Depending on the time of year and number of orders pending, average time to finish a grip order is 30 to 90 days. That's average, not a guarentee. They are all individually made to your specific order.

If you do not have time to wait then you may want to consider not ordering. I can only produce quality grips if I take the time necessary to finish your order

Be SURE to read the TERMS of SALE page, so you KNOW what you are getting.
