About
Let me start by giving you a little background information
on exactly why I began making my own pistol grips. After purchasing
a new Kimber CDP II, I decided that I wanted a nice set of
custom grips for it…something to set it apart from the
others. I went to several gun shows and looked at lots of
grips, but I just wasn't satisfied with what I was seeing.
After searching the net I ran across a website where someone
had made a revolver grip out of Amboyna. That was a pretty
grip…and after I saw it I knew what kind of wood I wanted
to use. After the first set of grips, I started trying out
other types of wood, some of which you can see on the Wood
page. I mainly use burl wood scales since they tend to
have very unique patterns and colors and make excellent looking
grips. Please keep in mind that
burl wood grips do have some natural inclusions in the surface.
How the Grips are Made
Each of my grips is HAND CRAFTED - I do
not mass produce grips using CNC machinery. Each piece of
grip wood is carefully selected and numerous man hours are
spent cutting, shaping, fitting, sanding, and finishing on
each set of grips. As with anything, you get what you pay
for - and in this case you're paying for a totally unique,
beautiful set of hand crafted exotic wood grips. Unlike many
of my competitors, I have full size, officers size, and bobtailed
pistols on site to exactly fit your grips to the pistol. No
jigs or pattern blocks of wood are used for fitting, just
the actual pistol for the grip size you order. This *does*
make a difference! Pistols used include Kimber, Springfield,
Colt, & Ed Brown. Please visit my Process
Page for more information on making grips.
Custom Grips - Made to Order
As you look through the grips for sale on this website, if
you don't see what you're looking for, I can make a custom
set of grips for you using the wood type you specify. Prices
are generally the cost of the wood + $80 labor, and time to
complete a set is generally 2 to 3 weeks (from the time I
receive the scales). You can contact
me with your request, and I will check the wood availability
and give you an exact quote and expected delivery date. Please
keep in mind that I will do my best to fulfill your request
using the best premium wood scales available. You can also
send me scales that you provide, as long as the dimensions
meet my requirements (5"long x 2" wide x 3/8"
thick are preferred).
All grips are cut for an AMBIDEXTROUS SAFETY for your convenience,
unless otherwise specified. If you want a custom set of grips
without an Ambi-Cut please contact me.
My Guarantee
If for any reason you are not satisfied with your new custom
pistol grips that you purchase from me you can return them
within 15 days for a full refund less shipping cost, no questions
asked. I reserve the right to refuse the return of any grips
that have been abused, nicked, chipped, cracked, etc.
