Hamre Forge Second Generation LCR Grip
We're extremely excited to show our completed second generation of the Hamre Forge LCR Boot Grip. For a long time we've had our three piece grips, and while they worked, they had some issues. They were difficult to make. They had a high manufacturing failure rate....
State Of The Hamre Forge Union Update
LCR At the time of writing this, we have about 20 orders outstanding, and they're all for the LCR. The LCR is the final set of stocks that we are manufacturing on our FDM printers, and not sintering on our industrial SLS machine. The time and labor it takes for every...
By Jove! I think we’ve got it!
What a long time coming. Starting tomorrow we're shipping backlogged orders. I'll start with the problems that started all this off. Parts were failing internal strength tests prior to shipment Parts were being produced with excess surface porosity that was...
Discoveries have been made
First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their patience and support through all this. It's been difficult not having the machine up and running. Instead of using powder to close out orders, we've been forced to use powder to configure the machine and troubleshoot,...

Finally coming up for air
The last 25 days have been wild. We released the HF Spegels on June 30th, and got absolutely pummeled with orders. To make matters worse, running our new machine in a production capacity exposed some flaws in our configuration which required us to go back to doing...
Update after Hamre Forge Kimber and HF Spegel releases
A few things forced our hand and obligated us to release the HF Spegel stocks very shortly after the Kimber K6s and K6xs stocks. Normally I would prefer a little more of a build up to let everyone know instead of springing it so close together. But, we were actually...
NAA Release – Issues Abound
We were very excited to launch our NAA grips. We'd been testing both our grips and our new manufacturing method with success. And leave it to our first full production run of NAA grips for us to experience our first catastrophic failure. What should have been over 30...
Manufacturing Upgrade
In January of 2023 the only thing I knew about additive manufacturing was 3d printing. And the only thing I knew about 3d printing was that you heated up plastic and squirted it out a layer at a time to make a thing. In March we started making and selling some 3d...
What problem does a hook solve?
I've been in communication with some good folks, a conversation initiated by myself. I've been slow to respond to the last email, which contained the following: In full disclosure, I’ve not been too interested in the hook grip designs (Barami, DeSantis, Rogers, etc.)...
