Guys---first post on the forum. Been a longtime "lurker" and have been soaking up all the knowledge in the Forum's pages for awhile. This is a great Forum! Anyway, I have both a Diana Airbug and Chaser pistol. I do kinda hate the grip on the Chaser though... I'm wondering if anyone can point me to where another factory wood grip, as provided on the Airbug or Bandit pistols, can be found/purchased? I actually do prefer the look/feel of the Bandit's grip (a friend has one of the Bandit pistols) because of the non-slip "stippling" on it. If anyone has a spare/unmolested factory grip for the Airbug/Bandit that you could part with, please let me know.
 
i look at both Canadian companies and they are not listing the wood grips at this time
one thing you must understand is that you will need to change out the rear tube plug so the wood grip when found has a place to screw into
T.R. Robb makes that piece in stainless and have a spring guide also
i have bought several and they are first class but going from Chaser that has a built-in hammer spring guide to a Bandit plug which does not keep that in mind
i took mine and added a spring guide

you could look at Buck Rail that come with AR-15 grips and with that you can add whatever AR-15 grip you want and or get a Phantom AR-15 to 1911 adapter and have the 1911 grip world to take from

just some ideas and as with everything it takes a little imagination and bits and pieces
