    I would send them back. The factory wood grips on my N Frame matched PERFECTLY...even every single ring in the wood matched the other half. Work of art, really. For $60 I would expect at least close to that quality

    Yeah. The mismatch on the backstrap I may be able to live with, or file down to make even, but that "CRACK" is a "hell no".

    I'd absolutely return those. No where near acceptable to me.

    You left out a pole. I think it should be something like this.

    1. Send them back for a new set.

    2. Send them back and get a refund.

    3. Fix them myself.

    4. Have Streaker make me a set from Cock ring wood

    Having seen the new pictures, I would also send them back. You might be able to fix that, but why should you.

    I bought a pair from altamont for my Ruger Mark ii and the fit was horrible. I tried fitting, but the locator pins broke ruining the grips and ended up just throwing them away

    Yeah, that's unacceptable. A gap that large could even pinch your hand, plus it looks like crap.

    Got an email back from them today. They agree there should not be any gaps and think I received a mismatched set. They are sending out a replacement set along with a prepaid return label for the original grips. Seems like very good customer service although their QC or shopping department may need a reboot.
