The prototypes for our grips are handcrafted from scratch and tested on multiple models to ensure the best possible fit on all models.

They are decorated with a revolutionary and patented method that provides one of the most permanent images available today. Unlike other decorated grips, the images on Rio Grande Custom Grips are salt, oil, solvent, water, impact and abrasion resistant.
