I have been working on a High Standard .22 mag derringer that I received in a bag. Finally got it back together and working correctly. It has a broken grip panel on the left side, since the original grip panels are somewhat difficult to find I waited until I could find the correct ones they are not cheap either, pearl White. I found a set on ebay and happily installed them. Went to put it in the safe and dropped it.......broke the left panel. Now I have two perfect right panels. and two broken left panels.

You can’t see both sides at the same time, so what’s the problem?

sounds pretty normal to me. of course the left side hit on the down side. same physics that makes the buttered side of the bread fall onto the carpet.

Its just that it upsets the balance of things.

Balance is why things hit on the wet sticky side!

They're plastic, right? see if you can get a "REAL GOOD" glue job.

Break the right panel to match !
