There are a lot of grip makers out there claiming to be “custom” grip makers. Many of them make grips from a master pattern on a machine and ship the grips to you. This isn’t “custom”. One size does not fit all. If you ship them your guns and ask them to “custom fit” the grips, the grips are still made from this master and not to the exact dimensions of your grip-frame. They file it down where it is too big, but where it is too small they can’t do anything. You will still see and feel metal in certain places. Outlaw Grips look and feel as if they grew on your grip-frame. Think of a suit made by a tailor. Two people that are a 44 long do not have the exact same length arms or chest dimensions. A tailor measures every dimension and makes the suit fit like it grew on you. This is how Outlaw Grips are made. Every grip-frame is different, yes even consecutive serial numbered guns. When you buy pre-made grips through the mail, they won’t fit perfectly, period. Some “grip makers” charge $50.00 to $75.00 to re-blue your grip-frame because they grind the grips and the grip-frame down together. I don’t want someone grinding the grip-frame down on my new Colt, how about you? Outlaw Grips are not mass produced off a master pattern or ground to your grip-frame. A pattern is created from your grip-frame and then the grips are made from this pattern. The grips are then hand fit to the exact contour of your grip-frame. There is no finer or more exact way to make grips. The patterns have the serial number of your gun on them and go into my “library.” Click here to see a sample of these. Like the finest hand tailored suit, Outlaw Grips are made with precision, patience and a complete understanding of quality. Your grips will fit the grip-frame perfectly and both sides will match in tone and appearance. In many cases they will be “book matched”. Most grip makers don’t book-match or will charge extra. If you are looking for the very best in custom grips or action work, your journey is over. Putting a set of Outlaw Grips in your hands will surprise you in the way they fit, feel and shoot. The 2008 SASS National Champion, JT Wild, seems to feel they work pretty well. His four Colts wear Buckeye Burl. The list of State and National Champions and top five shooters that use Outlaw Grips is quite extensive, but to wet your whistle just ask JT Wild, Tex, Cat Ballou, Long Hunter, Dirty Bob, Silverado, Mean Rayleen, Slick McClade, Sweetwater, Smackwater Jack, Ramblin’ Rose, No Horse Charlie, Goodness Grace or Sassy Dancer how they like theirs. Evil Roy said, “Wow, these are really nice. The fit and feel are incredible.” Outlaw Grips will also provides quality gunsmithing for your Ruger, Colt or Reproduction Peacemaker. Action work can be tailored for Cowboy Action Shooting, Fast Draw or Target Shooting. Go to the Gunsmithing page to see what is offered.

The Most Authentic “Hand of God” Grip Available .
Outlaw Grips are some of the finest custom grips you can put your hands on. No plastics, resin mold grips or micarta here. If you want the best that money can buy, this is it. Outlaw Grips makes custom grips for any style single action grip-frame and for 1911’s. They are made for those people who appreciate perfection and expect the highest quality. I have been making grips for collectors, lawmen, movies, cowboys, Cowboy Action Shooters and Fast Draw competitors for more than 16 years now. Outlaw Grips also performs action work on Colts, Reproductions and Ruger single action revolvers. This is what I do 8am to 3pm, five days a week. Over thirty-five hardwoods, burls, giraffe bone and elephant ivory are available. The hardwoods and burls are carefully selected for their stability, color and unique figure. After the woods have been milled and dimensioned, they have cured for a minimum of one year. This insures the grips I make won’t crack, shrink or warp. Premium pre-ban elephant ivory is also available. An “Affidavit of Origin” certificate is available upon request. If you want my “Competition” grip, it is designed specifically for Cowboy Action Shooting. It’s not just about making them thinner, it’s about the contour and the finish. This grip is specially shaped to fit your hand better than any other grip on the market. It also has a unique finish that will resist rolling/slipping under recoil. Forget checkering. The finish “breathes” so it will not become slippery in your hand with moisture. It actually stays in place better. Over six months of testing went into creating this finish. Top shooters swear by it. If you who want a thicker grip, a thinner one, a bevel on the bottom, a display finish or the factory profile, you have come to the right place. Just ask and it is yours. Outlaw Grips makes a “Collector Grade” grip for the most discerning customers. These grips start at $250.00 per gun. Classically shaped they are impeccably crafted to be works of art and perfection. Finishing them off with seven coats of a modified oil-urethane blend that are wet sanded between coats, creates a finish that will leave you speechless. The Bentley or Rolls Royce of grips if you will. |
