RUBBER PISTOL GRIP for Foil?

My school has this red rubber PISTOL grip electric foil. I love it!!!! I have looked around on nearly everysite and I can only find rubber french grips. The closed I have seen is the new "ultra grip" handles from LP. Anyone know anything about/where I can get these mysterious RUBBER PISTOL grips?

Rubber foils rarely kink, but they don't parry well either.

Can you take a picture of this rubber pistol grip? I don't believe I've ever heard of them before.

I"m imagining that it is a hard rubber handle, not the soft bendable kind. Why is this so awesome? I could see it as very easy to hold on to.

Are you sure it's not a rubber coated handle?

Watch out!

I've heard of rubber coated grips. Coated over plastic. These things may feel great, but there is probably a reason that most grips come in lightweight metals like aluminum. They are not easily broken. If you replace your entire handle complement, you run the risk of having ALL your weapons potentially at risk. There are some beasts out there. Watch out.
