Pistol Grips

Shop pistol grips at No Boring Guns for handguns, AR-15 platforms, and tactical rifles. Quality handgun grips improve control, reduce fatigue, and customize firearms for individual hand sizes and shooting styles.

Grip quality directly affects shooting performance. Factory grips often prioritize cost over comfort, leaving shooters with suboptimal control during extended range sessions or competitions.
Choosing the Right Pistol Grip
Texture and Surface Treatment
Surface texture determines grip security under various conditions. Aggressive checkering or stippling provides maximum purchase but may prove uncomfortable during extended shooting sessions or cause clothing wear during concealed carry. Medium textures balance control and comfort for general use. Smooth grips work well for competition shooters who prioritize hand repositioning speed over maximum traction. Consider how environmental factors like rain, perspiration, or glove use affect grip security when selecting texture intensity.
Ergonomics and Hand Fit
Proper grip sizing ensures consistent trigger reach and natural point of aim. Grips that are too large force the trigger finger to overreach, causing shots to pull left for right-handed shooters. Undersized grips leave the hand unsupported, increasing muzzle flip and reducing control. Palm swells, finger grooves, and backstrap configurations affect how the firearm settles during recoil. Shooters with smaller hands often benefit from slim-profile grips that reduce trigger reach, while larger hands require full-size options that provide complete support.
Platform Compatibility
Grip compatibility depends on firearm model and frame variations. Many handgun manufacturers use proprietary mounting systems that require model-specific grips. AR-15 grips attach via a single bolt and grip screw but vary in angle and width. Certain grips accommodate ambidextrous controls or provide clearance for aftermarket components like extended magazine releases. Verify exact model compatibility before purchasing, as minor frame variations within product lines may affect fitment.
