Every serious shooter knows that the perfect compliment to a high-quality handgun is a pair of comfortable, well-balanced grips.

Each pair of our Z45 grips is carefully handcrafted by a highly skilled artisan, using high-quality hardwoods and our exclusive carbon fiber fabric. Each is handcrafted with the care and attention to detail which will make it a cherished addition to any Colt, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Springfield Armory, or Kimber 45 caliber handgun.


Our Z45 grips feature our beautiful 3/8" plain weave carbon fiber fabric, offset by your choice of one of our premium hand-selected hardwoods (Amboyna Burl shown).

About Our Gun Grips

Our grips are handcrafted from a single block of wood, ensuring that each pair will have a consistant grain, coloration, and figurative. Our "standard" handcrafted gun grips tend to be a little thicker (typically 30% thicker) (View Example) than the stock grips provided by most gun manufacturers.

In addition, each pair of X-Calibergrips handcrafted carbon fiber grips is constructed from a solid block of 3/8" plain weave carbon fiber fabric manufactured especially for X-Calibergrips. Unlike some other manufacturers of carbon fiber grips, we NEVER use carbon fiber overlays bonded to inferior fill materials. Bonded overlays are used to reduce the time required to produce a pair of grips and minimize manufacturing costs. However, this technique produces an inferior pair of grips!

The photographs on this page are representative of the grain, figurative, and coloration which is generally found in a particular species of wood. However, due to the natural variations which occur throughout a block of wood, each pair of grips will be unique.

Each sample grip is shown displayed on a "stock" 45 calibre handgun. However, we routinely design and handcraft grips for a wide variety of guns. Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will be happy to design a set of grips for your specific weapon.

How much do they cost? Our handcrafted gun grips start at around $45.00 and may reach $300.00, depending on the hardwood or composite material selected and the complexity of the grips.
