Leon Paul French Grip???

Hi,
I've heard of the Leon Paul French grip that can be attached to an Epee tang cut to pistol grip length.

Does anyone know of verdors that carry it here in the US?

Any experiences good or bad with the grip? I'd like to use it for pommelling an Epee.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Miguel

I've seen them plenty of times and even fenced against them. One of the guys bought one to try it out and I had a wee play at the time - I didn't like it. The grip is quite big and didn't allow any finger play. The big advantage that I've seen is that you can attach the grip to an ortho tang. They are becoming more popular over here.
