THE BENEFITS & TYPES OF GOOD GUN GRIPS

Changing a handgun grip can have several reasons, it can improve the comfort, function and accuracy of your shooting experience. The positive side is that grips are not expensive and can be changed quickly without gunsmithing skills. You may just need a new handgun grip if your hands are smaller or if the type of your carry gun vs. the grip it has does not match perfectly in use. For example, if you are a competition shooter you may need a new grip or if your everyday concealed carry gun has a rough grip you can change it. So, let’s talk about the benefits.

Increased Comfort & Grasp

A discomfortable firearm grip may affect a secure grasp negatively and that is a factor that we wish to avoid. Firearm grips can have various finishes and you have to try several of them in order to find one that suits you. Certain grip textures can be uncomfortable when shooting certain calibers and cartridges. A large caliber handgun does not go well with an aggressive grip texture. A grip that is too smooth on a compact or subcompact handgun may affect the draw and stability. The best thing is to dry fire your firearm and if you notice any discomfort or problems that are grip based you can opt for a grip replacement.

When selecting a grip, keep in mind the conditions in which you’ll be shooting. Moisture from weather conditions or perspiration from stress or heat can weaken your grasp of the gun, which means that it might move during recoil. This movement can force you to adjust your grip after every shot, decreasing accuracy and speed. The objective is to find a grip that will balance the fit, comfort, and grasp.

Improved Fit

You probably heard this before - a firearm should feel like a natural extension of your arm. When you pull the trigger you shouldn’t have to reach for or pull the trigger in any way that feels uncomfortable. And the discomfort comes from a bad grip most of the time. There are options such as changeable back straps, interchangeable grips etc. provided by manufacturers that come as a package when you purchase a firearm. Or there are a lot of aftermarket options if you need to retrofit an older model.

HANDGUN Grip Types

Rough Texture

Rough texture grips / gritty grips are preferred by shooters that shoot in adverse conditions and need their grasp improved. Beware that aggressive grip patterns create friction and that can cause pain for the shooter.

Finger Groove Grips

Not all fingers are created equal. Grips with finger grooves should be avoided unless your fingers can touch, the space between the fingertips will allow the firearm to move and shift during recoil, and you’ll probably have to adjust your grip after every shot.

Slip On Grips

Some manufacturers such as Hogue make a slip-on grip sleeve that can be positioned over the existing grip, which increases grip size. Can it slip off? Probably yes and the chances are really small so don’t worry but also keep that in mind.

Grip Tapes

Grip tapes are an easy and fast solution to a slippery grip. If there is bad weather and your handgun has a grip that slips and you can't firmly reach it then a grip tape is a perfect solution as it is a simple tape that you tape around the handle. It eliminates the slipping and you can easily have a firm grip.

GRIP MATERIALS

There are numerous materials used in handgun grip production. Among the most popular materials are wood, plastic, rubber, aluminum and g10, but there are also luxurious materials such as ivory or horns of elk and moose. Choosing the right grip for your firearm is essential, no matter how often you plan to use your gun. Let’s look at the most common material used for pistol grips.

WOOD GRIPS

Wood grips definitely come with the classiest look, but they are also very useful and functional. Wood provides solid grip. There are all-wood grips and laminated wood grips coming in various color and pattern combinations out there. Recently, grips combining wood or laminated wood with soft rubber inserts to absorb recoil have been growing in popularity. If you are looking for a solid grip with a classy look, wood grips are your choice.

G10 GRIPS

One reason why G10 grips have become the favorite among many handgun owners is its ability to be manufactured in many different colors and textures. Thus, the grip, especially when customized, can achieve a very artistic and aesthetic look. G10 is high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaked in epoxy resin, and by compressing the resulting material under heat until the epoxy cures. Grips made of G10 are extremely durable.

ALUMINIUM GRIPS

Aluminum is another type of material used for weapon grips. Although not a fan of many gun enthusiasts, for it tends to discolor the hands and clothing. On the other hand, it’s probably the smoothest grip material, therefore the easiest to conceal under any garments. The aluminum allows for texture modification, so you can find an endless range of color options and high-resolution graphics for your gun grip.

RUBBER GRIPS

Rubber grips might have been falling out of fashion lately. Although fresh rubber grips offer a great kind of initial grip, over time the surface tends to smoothen up too much and it becomes a bit slippery, which can make it almost impossible to hold onto your handgun.

THE BEST HANDGUN GRIPS YOU CAN LEARN

The Teacup Grip

Put your strong hand on the gun and the support hand below the grip, cradling the strong hand. This grip is more of a movie grip and often shooters learned this grip a long time ago. This grip may look stylish but the problem is you only have one shooting hand, the other is a platform that means more recoil.

Index Finger In Front

This grip is often seen on the range and may work for many shooters. Your strong hand is on the gun and the support hand is on the strong hand with the finger on the trigger guard. The only downside of this grip is that you have one less finger gripping your dominant hand and that adds a little more recoil.

Stacking Your Thumbs

Probably the best handgun grip. It is very similar to the index finger in front type of grip. Your strong hand is on the gun and the support hand is on the strong hand with the finger on the trigger guard. The area between your strong hand thumb and index finger forms a V-shape. That “V” should slide up as high as possible on the back of the firearm. This helps control the recoil each time the gun is fired.

The only finger that is not in the tight grip should be the index finger on your shooting hand - rest it on the slide and wrap the remaining fingers around the grip of the gun. Plase the thumb of your support hand and the rest of your palm into the open surface of the grip. Both thumbs should be on the same side, with the strong hand thumb resting on top of the support hand nicely stacked atop of each other.

(DIS)HONORABLE MENTIONS

Thumbs Crossed

Please cross your thumbs only in a conversation or sentence because crossing the thumbs behind the slide may be really dangerous as the slide blows back it can wound you. Don’t try this please.

The Wristholder

Probably the worst possible option. Let’s just keep hugging only people we like and not our wrists while holding a firearm. You place your strong hand on the gun and grab the wrist with your support hand. The benefit is exactly nothing because you won’t eliminate recoil and you’ll just end up looking silly.

The Story Of Handgun Grips

The story of the handgun grip goes back to 1840, when the manufacture of a Delvigne Patent carbine, made by Lesoinnie Et Prilot Fils, Liege began. The rifle had a standard stock grip plus a pistol grip. The journey began there and through centuries made it possible for handgun grips to be more ergonomic, effective and in many cases interchangeable.

Pistol grips are a defining feature in the United States gun law, specifically, in the National Firearms Act. Pistol grips which protrude below the weapon and are not integrated with the shoulder stock (i.e. as part of a thumbhole stock) are currently regulated in some states and were regulated by the now-expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban. In the context of that law, the National Rifle Association deemed pistol grips a "cosmetic feature".
