Our Story

Our journey began with a Smith & Wesson model 19-9. After numerous attempts to find grips that were as comfortable as they were visually appealing, we decided we could do better—so we did. Starting as eBay sellers, we quickly recognized the limitations in offering customizable grips to buyers. This realization led us to focus on enhancing proven products by partnering with the premier grip making company Hogue® Inc. Adding Altamont® Company to broaden our grip offerings. Finally adding a local grip maker with similar ambitions to our own Netticks Group LLC, giving us a high quality product for our focus on Colt and Smith and Wesson Revolvers. As a Premeire OEM Dealer we have more custom options and influence on product development.

Hogue® Inc. and Altamont® Company supply over 99% of production wood grips to all major gun manufacturers. With the latest addition of our new partner, Netticks Grips™, we feel our product line-up offers the broadest and most diverse products available along with unbeatable quality. These partnerships ensures that we offer field-proven products made by industry leaders, allowing us to concentrate on delivering the highest quality custom engraving and finishing work. All medallions are hand-set one at a time, with our selection including both OEM offerings and premium options plated with Gold and Silver, respectively.

HRV Grips® and HRV Customs.com® are registered trademarks and proudly own all trademarked design work displayed on our site. Every pattern is created in-house, driving our business forward. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our reviews, showcasing the finest engraved firearm grips in the industry. We believe in hard work, attentive listening, and exceptional customer service. We hope you’ll love your new HRV Grips® when you receive them, and if for any reason they aren’t perfect for you, we make returns free and easy.*
