I was tired of answer some seriously dumb emails (grips for Glock, XDs, M&Ps, etc). I had lost patience for ignorance and it seemed like moving was the thing that helped make that difficult decision easier. I have taken down the website and also my Facebook page. I still hope to be around to see what’s going on here and other forums though.

As for , he went out of business a pretty good while back. I hated to see it because he was the only grip maker that I would refer people to.

Adam,

Really sorry to hear that you closed down your business! I certainly get how you feel though. I’m still making grips but I’m just making what I feel/want to make and then posting them for sale on some of the forums. Any other way I tried to do it just killed all the joy of it for me. more than likely I’m probably going to slow down even more than I have and try to focus on bladesmithing or something else that still feels fresh.

I hope that with time you will come back to making in one form or another. your work is top notch and early on it drove me to do everything I could to get better as a maker. either way I wish you well and hope you stick around.

Wow!

First Ryan Payne (Sarge) and now you.

I’m going to miss seeing y’alls great work, but I certainly understand how it is to get burned out on something. All the best in whatever you decide to do!

Hopefully will continue making his stocks from time to time.
