VZ Blue Carbon Fiber Grips
« on: January 24, 2012, 10:37:42 AM »
Called VZ today to see if those new blue CF grips were available. The first "girl" I spoke with didn't have a clue what I was talking about. After requesting to speak with someone who had a more intimate knowledge of the Rohrbaugh grips ( and receiving a snotty reply, I might add ) I spoke with another woman who stated that the blue grips were a one off for Karl and it was up to him if they were going to supply them. Being I have zero interest in the VZ black grips, I guess I'll have to just wait it out on the blue ones.

Anyone else have any info if and when Rohrbaugh might be suppling those grips?

I would call the factory and ask.  I was told they will be available separately.  They may have to be ordered from Rohrbaugh, as opposed to VZ.

I would think you're right...Thanks Duane. I tried to call several times with no luck.

Keep trying. It's an odd week for them, recovering from SHOT and all.

Here is the poop on the VZ Rohrbaugh Blue CFs grips. 
   I called today and got the exasperated reply that they didn't make any Blue Carbon Fiber Grips for the Rohrbaugh, so after a little more fruitless conversation I politely asked to speak with someone with a brain. The next female on the phone told me that they will NOT be making the grips for sale only for Rohrbaugh and ONLY after Rohrbaugh places an order for some, if and when they do.

Here is the poop on the Robar Blue CFs grips. 

Robar = VZ?
I asked Tom about ordering a 2005 tribute so hopefully if others have done the same the factory will be placing an order for some with VZ!

Sorry for the confusing typo, meant VZ Rohrbaugh CF grips. :o ;D


I think it will be a while before we see any Tributes of VZ Blue CFs. just my opinion.

That is fine with me, it will give my wallet some time to recover.

I think this tread needs a pic of the VZ blue CFs.

Ryan, They are very nice, and they also fill the palm a little better giving you a better grip. Truly very nice.

Thanks for the update gents. I did call the factory and they told me they were going to offer these grips and  to check back in late March. I hate to pester them, but they are really nice! As someone else had stated, they look ( and feel? ) better than the originals.

Mark.  Thanks for your update; guess I'll have to have a pair of those in the Blue Carbon Fiber; late March; now on the calendar.  Thanks again.

I have an order in for a Tribute which should come with the Blue VZs but I am waiting for a specific SN so it will likely be a little while. Ill let you know when I get it though.

I also have an order in for a Tribute Edition and should be receiving it soon.

I have not heard anything about the new blue carbon fiber grips from Rohrbaugh or VZ. If I do, I will give you an update.
