After some help guys n gals I picked up a Sam K11 off here a few months ago managed to source a fill adapter and reseal the cylinders and it shoots a dream as the action is as new !! But the grip
Is a proper hacked up abortion and as it’s discontinued I’m finding sourcing a grip quite hard , can someone make me a 3D grip ?
 
Sorry I can't help with this one - looks like the internet barely acknowledges that this pistol even exists!
Commenting more to raise visibility and to satisfy my own curiosity.

If you have a phone with a decent camera, you might be able to take a 3d scan of the grip (check out "scanniverse" for iOS, or "Meshroom" Android) which would be a really easy way to take measurements of all the mating surfaces and work with someone who knows the ergonomics of a pistol grip. If the current grip is generally a good shape and just has a few blemishes to repair then fixing the scan would be a lot less labour intensive than modelling a target grip from scratch.

I know that there are a couple members on here that design 3d parts for guns like pistol grips - but for a 1 of 1 piece you'll be paying a similar price for a 3d design as you would for having a custom grip made out in any other medium.
 
I used a SAM K11 for 10M competitions for some years and it is a fine tool.

I think your best option is to seek a custom grip, either made from scratch or from the original.

No idea on leads sadly - maybe the NSRA might be able to point you in the right direction to a suitable craftsman. I don't think 3D grips would be as good as bespoke custom ones made from wood.
 
If I am reading this correctly, Rink do a grip that will fit SAM models from M5 to K12, but I can't find anything that relates to an M5. An email to Rink will soon sort that out though.

Once you have sold one of your spare organs, you will not regret buying a Rink grip, mine fits like a glove, and who needs two testicles anyway?
