Designer Grips, Inc.
is a maker of Carbon Fiber (CF) grips as well as exotic leather holsters and grips for select hand guns. Located in Atlanta, GA, we use American made materials from American suppliers. Designer Grips are made of genuine Carbon Fiber or a Carbon Fiber / Kevlar weave. Or in the case of leather, genuine legally harvested exotic hides. We do not use faux fabrics and try to pass them off as the real thing. Our CF grips are Carbon Fiber filled to give them strength, and stress areas, such as screw holes, are reinforced with Kevlar for additional strength unless otherwise noted.

What IS CARBON FIBER??
CZ 75 SP-01 Black Carbon Fiber Thin grips
Carbon Fiber is a super strong, light weight material made of thin filaments of carbon. The individual fibers are thinner than a human hair, yet it is five times stronger that steel, twice as stiff, and only about one third the weight. These fibers are woven together into strands and the strands into sheets. Each strand of Fiber typically has 3000 to 5000 individual fibers. Here are two YouTube videos to give you a better understanding of what Carbon Fiber is and of its remarkable strength.

A Little Background
|
I purchased Designer Grips from the original owner in mid 2013. I had been making Stingray grips and holsters for Seecamp pistols for several years and thought it would be a good fit and allow me to expand my business. If you'd like to see some of my Stingray and other products, check them out at by clicking the button below.

Ring Lizard Seecamp Grip
As many of you know I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2013, shortly after buying Designer Grips. I had Metastatic Melanoma in my arm and lungs. Complications with the test study drugs lead to other issues and in January of 2014 my colon ruptured in 5 places, leading to an emergency colostomy. I spent the first two months of 2014 in Emory hospital and a good portion of the remainder of the year in bed at home with in-home nursing care. (Not much grip making going on.) Once I recuperated from a variety of complications, I was finally able to get both of my hips replaced. That took place in the first half of 2015.
So I'm finally back on my feet, able to stand up straight and walk without a walker or cane. As of late 2016 I have been told I am cancer free. I'm not as steady as I used to be and I do tire out easily but I'm very happy to be back in my workshop making my holsters and grips.
I appreciate all of the kind words and wishes that have been sent to me these past years. Your stories and prayers have been very uplifting for me and my family and I appreciate them more than I can put into words.
