Spring Has Sprung
It has been a while since we have posted anything to the blog, but now seems like a good time for an update. Spring is right around the corner, and with the summer shooting season approaching, we really want to provide more grips to those who have been asking. When we...
As of 12/26/2025, California customers, we’re sorry.

The Hamre Forge AFR UnderCover Conundrum
The AFR UnderCover grip has been a hit in the revolver community, and we’re thrilled with the enthusiasm and demand. However, our current inventory is far below what’s needed to meet this interest. I planned to ramp up production after freeing machine capacity from...
