Hi Bryan.. Just received today..
"Thanks a lot from France for these wonderful grips...
Proud of my military school..
Four years between the first one for my Beretta and the new one for my 1911.
You're the best...
God bless America!!!" (Photo on Right)

Bryan I just wanted to say thank you for an amazing job. I’m very happy with the outcome. I’m going to tell everyone at the range where I got the top notch grips from. The grips are EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you again. Below is a pic of my weapon with the new grips. You are welcome to put it up on your website. I am a very satisfied customer. I will be back!

Hi Bryan,
Thank you so much for the great customer service and for this awesome grip!! Ordered this grip for my brothers bday, it came on his bday (which btw was really a surprise and awesome), and I had it on his 1911 before he got home.. Told him we should go to the range, so he was really surprised to see 1911 when he opened the safe, he LOVES the grip, and he got so many compliments at the range, thank you so much... Hope to do more business with you in the future... The pic is right after I installed the grip, before he got to see it for the first time!!! (Photo on Right)

Hello,
Just got my grips today and they are beautiful. Can't take my eyes off these grips. Thank you very much for these wonderful grips. See the 2 pictures I have included showing my gun and your grips. Also they were a tight fit like you guys said but I like it that way.
Thanks again and you have a customer for life..... (Photos on Right)

Super super happy customer. (Photos Below)

Great news! Rather than writing it out, I’ll just show you!
They were a tiny bit tight but they fit pretty much perfectly. If people ask you can now confirm they work on the Wrangler :). (Photo on Left)
Thank you for being such a great help!

Hello Bryan,
I just got my grip you made for my Sig Sauer Nightmare 1911. WOW! I still can't decide which I like better, but, I am leaning towards the Green Eyed Reaper set. May just have to purchase another one and use both sets that way. LOL
I have seen some other customers have sent you pictures of there grips on your site. Not sure where to send mine, but here are some pictures. YES they fit PERFECT!! And friends are already asking me where I got them. And I am telling them RIO GRANDE CUSTOM GRIPS!!! (Photos Below)
Thank you VERY much,

Mr Ayars,
I just wanted to thank you for making this a wonderful Christmas present. As you can see, the grips are perfect. Thank You, also, for your time and attention to this matter.Feel free to use this photo, we’d be honored. (Photo on Left)
Merry Christmas,
LaDonna
Just wanted to say thank you! These grips are just the facelift my single six needed. The fit was absolutely perfect, a little snug but squeezed it together with a little loctite and it looked like it was made for it! Great packaging and I appreciate your quick and courteous communication.
Will definitely be bragging you guys up to all my friends. (Photos Below)
Thanks a bunch.
- Bruce
I received your Grim Reaper grips for my Ruger Vaquero and loved them. It took me about 2 minutes to put them on and that's no small feat for me even though its only 1 screw. I'll look forward to ordering more from you in the future and have already recommended them to several friends. Other grips I've looked at were twice the price and not as nice. Loved them - loved them - loved them.
Thanks again,
Scott
Love the look of my grips. Thanks for the great job. (Photo on Right)

I asked the folks at Rio Grande to customize a set of grips for mynew Sig Sauer 1911 that reflected how I feel about this country, my service to defend freedom and the constitution during the Vietnam Era, against all odds. They have done that! I will display them proudly. They are inspiring grips, thank you Rio Grande team.

Mr. Chambers,
I apologize for the delayed response, but I wanted to thank you and the rest of the staff at Rio Grande Custom Grips for their awesome work.
Everything was perfect. My emails were responded to quickly, shipping was quick, I got exactly what I hoped for and the grips fit perfectly.
Thank you all so much. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others and would certainly do business with you again. (Photo on Right)
-Joseph
Bryan,
Here is a picture of my new Ruger with the Border Patrol badge grips you made for me. I really like the look of these grips. As a retired guy, this gun will now accompany me on my Harley trips as my favorite concealed carry pistol. Thanks again for being so amazingly quick. (Photo on Left)
- Gil
I just wanted to point out the excellent customer service in both the style of my custom grips and the promptness in delivering the product. I have a 10mm 1911 Rock Island Armory pistol, and I was concerned that the grips wouldn't fit. I was pleased that they actually fit perfectly and needed no grinding or shaping to fit the contours and/or thumb safety of the gun. You were more than helpful in composing the design of my grips, and I was happy that you could email a mock-up before doing the work. I will certainly give you return business when I need custom grips in the future. (Photo Below)
-Kevin
Just got my Flame grips put on my Blackhawk and they look FANTASTIC. They were a Christmas present. Had a hard time deciding which one, so I let my "honey" pick them out. Love em. Good job on your part, they fit perfectly. Thanks. (Photos on Right)

One night while scouring the internet, I just happened to come across Rio Grande Custom Grips. I had never heard of this company, but their Cobra grips caught my eye. So I ordered two sets of grips, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. I am a gunsmith with almost 20 years experience and a gun fanatic for almost twice that amount of time. I’ve seen my share of aftermarket grips and have found that I typically have to compromise somewhere on the fit of the grips.
What I got from Rio Grande, however, was the most incredible fit of a grip I have EVER come across. The fit was incredible except for a half-inch long overhang on the bottom rear of the grip on my 2 Ruger New Vaqueros. A few swipes of 150-grit paper and the fit was absolutely perfect; no gaps or movement of the grips at all, even without the grip screw in place. And the look of the Cobra is stunning, just gorgeous, the most striking image I have ever seen.
Even their packaging is well-thought out. With most companies these days you’ll be lucky to even get a clear ziplock baggie. Their well-fitting clamshell package, along with an eye-catching placard, displays their attention to detail. Try out this company, I think you’ll be more than satisfied, and proud to display these grips. I can’t wait to see what they come out with next! (Photo on Left)

I couldn't be happier. I placed my order Wednesday morning and the grips were on my Beretta Thursday afternoon. They fit perfectly and boy do they look good. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I will tell as many people as I can how happy I am with Rio Grande Custom Grips. (Photo on Left)
- Mike
There are many like it, but this one is mine. Thanks Bryan. (Photo on Right)

Received - great service! They were tight, but fit like a glove. The quality of the packaging blew me away - I guess I had gotten used to cheap Ziploc bags with tiny white labels. (Photo on Left)
Thanks,

Hey, Bryan. Got the grips on Saturday. Wow, what fast turnaround. The fit was as well or better than the factory pieces. The texture is great, thought that they could be too smooth initially, but the feel is great. (Photos on Left)

Hi Dale,
Just a note to let you know that we received our order from Rio Grande Custom Grips just after Christmas.
All three of the grip sets fitted instantly with no adjustment or modifications.
I was initially concerned that the grip for the 1911 was not "textured" enough to provide grip on a hot Queensland day. (We shoot in 95 F plus heat here) But the concerns were not an issue grip is positive and comfortable.
Great job getting them to me and an excellent product. (Photo on Left)
Many thanks
Cam
HI BRYAN
INSTALLED THE GRIPS ON THE CITADEL. ONE SIDE FIT OK AND THE OTHER SIDE WAS A LITTLE TOO BIG. I FILED THE ONE SIDE DOWN AND GOT IT TO FIT OK. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME. (Photos on Right)
THANKS JIM
Best looking grips ever. (Photo on Left)

The most and best grips for my money. Perfect fit and beautiful design. These guys have a very fast turn around for building grips. I will be back for more. (Photos on Right)

Dear Bryan and Rio Grande Custom Grips Team,
First I would like to thank everyone who was involved in creating the coolest College Graduation/Navy Commissioning present ever! I could not be more pleased with these custom grips!
Everything you guys did has been top notch - customer service, design assistance, speed of delivery and product quality. I could not have asked for more...I contacted you about my idea on Monday evening and the finished product was in my mailbox Friday evening!
These grips are a graduation/commissioning present to my son (along with the attached Kimber, lol). I know he will be floored when he opens this gift! Thanks to you guys this will be something to remember these special events by.
Again, your team has my deepest gratitude! (Photos Below)
Sincerely,
Samantha

I'm so very sorry it's taken me so long to get back with you (work's been hell), while the pictures aren't quite as pro as I'd like - they're a lot better than my phone!
Well, initially the grips interfered with the magazine release on the right side & the thumb safety on the left side, but with a ceramic knife & file I modified both sides to work fine. Never underestimate the ingenuity of an excited & impatient female. Hahaha
Can't tell you how many compliments I've received & I always point people over to Rio Grande! Can't thank you guys enough for these amazing & beautiful grips!
Feel free to use the photos, but please credit the artist who generously allowed me to use his amazing art for my grips. His name is Robert Farkus, http://www.astronaut.co.hu. (Photos Below)

(Please note that our stock Compact 1911 grips do not fit the EMP 9mm without modification as described by Nikki.)

Mr. Chambers, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart...the grips arrived on Monday...truly awesome is all we can say! My wife loves them and they look great...we had to adjust one screw hole for a good fit but otherwise it's a job very well done! I promise you that you'll have more business from this family! (Photo on Left)
Thank you so much...John
I received my grips! And let me say wow! Thank you so much Bryan. Fit and finish exceeded my expectations and the design was right on point. I will definitely be ordering a set of yalls grips in the near future for another ruger single action. I attached a picture for your website and you can use this text also if you like. Again thank you. (Photo on Right)

My ruger super blackhawk 44 magnum came used with a big ugly set of pachmayr grips, and I wanted something that would stand out and no one else would have, I started searching for grips online, and I found Rio Grande Custom, I love elk hunting, and the regal dusk grips were a prefect way to express that. I ordered them after reading the countless great reviews. They were at my door within the week, and fit better than any other aftermarket grips I have seen. They have been on my pistol for a few hunting seasons now and still look as good as the day they arrived. And for being a smaller non-checkered grip, they handle full power 44 loads better than any oversized finger grooved grips I have ever used. Thank you for making such a great product at an outstanding price. (Photo on Left)

Bryan,
My brother loved the grips! Just wanted to say thanks again. He was blown away by them. Here r sum pics. Oh and yes ur not seeing things, his dog is wearing a diaper. Ha! The dog was stepped on by a horse & paralyzed as a puppy. Lost the use of his back legs. My brother adopted him 6yrs ago cause the owners didn't want to take care of him anymore. Anyway, you guys rocked his Xmas! (Photo on Right)
Thanks again

Hi Bryan,
Wow that was fast, they were in the mail box over the weekend while we were away.
They look fantastic, thanks to you and your team for a great job, and for being patient with me. I'll have to work on the ones I want for my Para.
In the meantime here are the pics of the grips on my Tisas Classic. (Photos Below)
Regards,
Brian
Dale,
Just wanted to thank you for the job you did on my grips for my Ruger.. They fit better than the original ones it came with and even though you cut the very bottom of the dogs off they still look great. This dog meant a lot to me and my family and I will be able to see him every time I look at the gun. The fact that his name happened to be Ruger it was the perfect place to place his image on the grips of a Ruger Black Hawk. Attached are pictures of the the gun and grips installed, feel free to use it on your web site. (Photos Below)
Thanks again,
Bob
Here they are. I’ve gotten a lot of great comments on them and every time I shoot a product picture my company logo is right there. Thanks Bryan for a great product and super service. (Photos Below)

Hi,
Just writing to tell you that the Rattler grips for my Blackhawk fit perfectly. Very snug and solid with a super fit to frame.
I'm impressed. Keep up the good work.
I had previously had a pair of competitor's (brand removed by RGCG) polymer grips on the Blackhawk and they were chipping like crazy. You're grips are far superior. (Photo on Left)

Rio Grande makes custom grips limited only by your imagination. The artwork is by pin-up artist Ted Hammond, entitled “Gunslinger Cowgirl”. My buddies at the gun range think my gun grips are the coolest they have ever seen. Cowboy-action-shooting friends, who paid over five times the amount for their scrimshaw grips, are envious of the graphic’s coverage and color. There are thousands of 45 Colt Ruger Blackhawks out there, but thanks to Rio Grande Custom Grips this one stands out. (Photos on Right)
-Ray from Milwaukee, WI
Just wanted to thank you once again for the custom grips, I have them on my gun for now to show off until he get’s back and I will put them on probably whatever new gun they give him after this tour.
You did awesome job and they look great. (Photos Below)

Outstanding work! You have definitely earned my return business. Thanks again for all the help, I couldn't be happier with these. (Photos Below)

I am extremely satisfied with the Ruger Single-Six grips I purchased from Rio Grande Custom Grips! They fit perfectly, and look great! The texture provides a better feel and purchase than the Ruger factory wood grips. Most importantly, their customer service is superb! Dale was very informative and professional when I talked to him on the phone. He took my order and shipped it immediately. They are now mounted on my revolver less than three days later. Thank you Dale and Rio Grande Custom Grips for a fine product and excellent customer service! (Photo on Left)
Respectfully,
Tom V.
Gentlemen, I ordered a set of your American Tattoo grips a couple of months ago to try on my Cowboy Fast Draw Association competition gun. I was very impressed, the fit, finish and size of the grips is excellent. They have held up very well to almost daily use and cleaning with various solvents and oils. I recently ordered a set of "full custom" grips and another set of your standard grips. Again, excellent products, I am very pleased. Thank you Bryan for getting me through the custom order process. Attached is a photo of the grips on my competition guns, feel free to use it and these comments. (Photo Below)

Bryan and Dale,
Wanted to let you know that these grips were above and beyond what I expected. These are an awesome set of grips and all my shooting buddies think so to. I will definitely be purchasing more grips from you for some of my other weapons in the future. Please let me know when you have things set up for the Baby Desert Eagle, cause I already have a design made up for that weapon for your company to make. Your great service, patience, customer service and fast delivery were the best I’ve received for a long long time. (Photos Below)

The grips look great and were just what I was looking for. Your company even went ahead and made these for me from the 1911 styles and I appreciate it. I am a big fan of the Stephen King books "The Dark Tower" and now my revolver fits with the theme. I will be ordering for my next machine soon. Oh and you spell your name correctly, bravo. Here are photos for you to use. (Photos Below)

Received grip today--looks awesome! You'll have to watch my father in law on his reality show on History channel--He's Mark Hatfield on there (http://www.history.com/shows/hatfields-and-mccoys-white-lightning). If there is a second season he'll likely be sporting his new Ruger with custom grips on it! He carried his Ruger SR22 during filming of this first season--that's why I bought him a new gun more fitting to his character. (Photos Below)

Bryan,
The grips arrived today and I must tell you how pleased I am with them. I want to thank you again for the time that you spent with me
and the time you spent researching to find the jpg’s we needed to get this done. The grips really make my custom 45; which
commemorates my two tours in Vietnam and my service in the US Army. Thanks again, you can be assured that I will continue my
business with Rio Grande Custom Grips in the future. (Photos Below)

Hello,
I received yesterday an order of Dead Man's Hand grips for my Ruger. I must say these are the nicest grips I've seen. They are a perfect compliment to the blued finish on the revolver and give the gun the appearance of a much older revolver. The fit is absolutely perfect and the finish of the grips is awesome. I will definitely be recommending your products to my customers. (Photos Below)

Dear folks at Rio Grande, I recieved my custom grips today. I couldn't be more pleased with the fine quality product that you have provided. The Squadron emblems of the units that I served with in Vietnam really make my Kimber unique. Be assured that I will recommend you to anyone looking for quality products. Best regards, John D.

I will pass your email along to my husband. He really enjoys the grips that you made for him and has not taken them off his 1911 since he got them. We do a lot of advertising with your grips. Anytime we make a 1911 holster we take a picture of it using the gun and grips. I have attached the latest holster we made for a customer/friend that shows your grips off! Photos like these end up on holster maker forums and specific gun forums, they definitely get around. Thank you for all your hard work!! Amy C. (Mrs. CC Holster) ccholsters.com P.S.

We men do not put much stock into emotions but we feel things for our children and our patriotism.My oldest son joined the beloved United States Marine Corps in 2010 and as a dad and a man I could not be any prouder of him.To show my pride in him, I bought him a new Taurus PT1911 for his basic training graduation gift and turned to my friends at RGCG to make a set of custom grips to commemorate the occasion.I also asked my close personal friend of Caldwell Leather to build my son a holster for his new Taurus.My Marine was awe stricken and his proud dad fought back the tears of pride.Support our troops and veterans, because they are somebody’s son or daughter.

They fit great, look great, feel great , and the price was right......thank you Todd J. H. (Pic Below)
I had been looking for a way to have the patch of my motorcycle crew put into a set of custom grips for my Taurus PT1911, and not really having much success. I happened upon an ad for RGCG in a gun magazine, and checked out their web site. I was immediately impressed with what I saw, and sent a graphic to the guys asking if they could work with it.
I heard back almost immediately from Bryan that they could indeed use that file. I described what I had in mind, Bryan had the graphics department do a mock-up and sent it to me. I had to admit it was pretty awful, but not due to the folks at RGCG. It was my idea that was off. I asked Bryan for some suggestions, and he sent me pics of some grips they had done along with a mock up of what he thought would look sharp on my pistol.
Wow, it really jumped off the screen at me, and I knew those were "my" grips. Bryan and I visited a bit more about making sure I got my end of the order correct, and the deal was done. Dale e-mailed me to make sure everybody was on the same page, and the "go" button was engaged.
I think something on the order of a week later, my grips arrived, and I could not be happier with them. It was all I could do to keep the biker dude drool off them when I showed them around.
The guys at RGCG really understand about helping bring an idea to fruition, customer service, and quality products. After my experience, I know this won't be my last set of grips from them, and I can't imagine anyone not being pleased with the RGCG gang and it's products.

I got the grips and I love them. I got great feedback from alot of my friends and although none of them have 1911's they are hoping you start designs for other handguns such as taurus and sig sauer. Thanks again for the quick feedback and awesome work on the design.

Thank you so much for your recommendation on getting the ACU digital grips for my solid black springfeild 1911.You were right. The grips look amazing and have an amazing feel to them.I am now on my second 1911 build and I will be purchasing my grips from you for sure.You guys make an awesome product.Thank you 1000 times.Once again, thanks for the help. Tanner J.
"When I got my Springfield GI .45 1911-A1, I never really thought about custom grips. However, while looking through magazines the idea of one of a kind custom grips became interesting. There were many ads but only a handful offered "custom" grips and stock custom grips. It was easy to settle on RGCG and the website was friendly. I had a basic idea of what I wanted and B4 I knew it I was working with Dale Ayars. I faxed a drawing and an image I wanted to use in the grips. We emailed and talked and things quickly evolved into the final renditions. I had changed my mind a lot and always got quick responses. Dale and the graphics dept. interpreted what I wanted into works of art. I ordered the final grips in both a black and a white set. I've showed the grips to many shooters and have gotten great compliments. A manager at the indoor range I use asked for the RGCG website B4 he could answer a question I had about my .45. Here's my assessment-I had a pretty vague idea of what I wanted and RGCG delivered exactly what I wanted in the end. There's nothing like working with people clear across the country and feeling like they are in the neighborhood. I have the only set of grips in the U.S.A. like mine with a military theme, initials and colors I wanted. Thanks to Dale and all of the talented people representing Rio Grande Custom Grips!!!"

Thank you. This is my second set. The first set is on my daily carry 1911 and I can't believe how well they stand up to day to day abuse. Great product! - Tim
I looked everywhere for a place that would "custom" make a set of grips for my Taurus PT1911. I found some sights that would make it out of a certain wood, or would laser 3 initials on it, but I wanted something more than that. Then I found RGCG!!! I had a picture in mind that I wanted to use and with the help of Bryan and Dale we got it form fitted to my grips. The grips came out beautifully and I had no problem putting them on. I have shown them off to a couple of people who are in awe of them and at the low price I paid and the customer service I recieved. Trust me you can't go wrong with RGCG, not when you have Bryan and Dale constantly giving you feedback on your grips. I just wanted to thank them for giving me a special gun that nobody else in the world has and thats because of Rio Grande Custom Grips!! You are the best!!!! Gabe K.
Hi-Dale Thanks for the e-mail, and quick shipping. As soon as i saw these beautiful grips, I knew they needed to be on my colt 45 auto. It`s nice to be able buy a quality set of grip`s that are made in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Keep up the good work, And may God bless you, And may God bless AMERICA. Don
Just wanted to say thanks.Ordered my grips on Monday, they arrived on Thursday.They look great, feel great, and fit perfectly.I have the same model Kimber Eclipse that you show on your website, and the grips look even better in real life. Thanks again. C.B.
Just wanted say YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! Thanks for going the extra mile on my grips!!!! Do you guys do custom grips for Desert Eagle, Colt revolvers and taurus revolvers?? Please let me know!!! and again, Many THANKS!!!! REALLY PLEASED Jim.
You're considering a new set of grips for your 1911. Well, your looking is over and I'm about to tell you that a set of Rio Grande Custom Grips should be your next purchase.
April 2009, I bought a Taurus PT1911 AR. I soon found out that the Taurus grips are just a scad different from standard 1911 panels. I found the RGCG web site and looked over all the great designs and sent an inquiry email to see if they carried grips for the Taurus. I received an email from a rep within a day and his news was; no we don't have them for the Taurus but are looking to get started in producing them. I made an offer to assist in their endeavors and volunteered my original grips to them to use as a template. He agreed, and I mailed them off. They sent me their prototypes for a trial fit and critique of any fitting issues. I did so without hesitation and with very detailed information as to any points of modifications. Let me tell you, there wasn't much and so minor that it would have been insignificant to most people, but not for the RGCG crew, after returning the prototype grips the modifications were done and they made them as right and as perfect as one can be.
I'm now a proud owner of Rio Grande Custom Grips for the Taurus PT1911.
Your experience may not be anything like I went through, but you undoubtedly will be as impressed with the quality of Rio Grande Custom Grips & proud to tell everybody where they came from.

Hello, I'm the one with the suggestion of the Silver Dragon grips. It means a lot to me that you would act on my suggestion. It's not often a company runs with a custumer's suggestion. I have great respect for your company now. I have quite a few friends who have pistols. I will tell them all about my email and your response to it. I will do all I can to push your product on them. Which shouldn't be hard considering how awesome your grips are! I can't thank you enough for putting a smile on my face during these rough times. Rio Grande Custom Grips rock!!!! Diamond Dogg
It took me about ten minutes from when the box arrived till I had the gun safe open and the new grips placed on a real nice 1911-A1. Some friends have seen it already and you may be getting some orders from them, they now have your web site. Great grips, I sure do like them and friends do too. D.R.
