Handgun Brands and Models at Gun Grips USA

Below is a comprehensive list of handgun brands and their models mentioned on the Gun Grips USA site. Each model is grouped under its brand and includes a brief description and production years (where available) for reference. This structured list can serve as a handy guide or blog reference for these firearms.

Astra (Spain)

• Astra Model 3000 (1948–1956): A compact Spanish .32 ACP pistol, an improved, striker-fired update of the earlier Astra 300, used post-WWII (notably by German police). It featured simple blowback operation and was valued for its reliability in close defense.

• Astra A-75 (1994–1998): A subcompact double-action pistol in 9mm and .40 S&W introduced in the mid-1990s. With an alloy frame and decocker, it was one of Astra’s smallest DA autos of its time, also offered later in .45 ACP.

• Astra A-90 (1985–1997): A full-size double-action 9mm pistol evolved from Astra’s earlier A-80 series. It offered a higher capacity and ambidextrous safety/decocker. Designed in the 1980s for service use, it provided robust performance before Astra’s handgun production ceased.

• Astra Model 900 (A-900) (1927–1937): A Spanish-made copy of the Mauser C96 “Broomhandle” pistol, chambered in 7.63mm Mauser. The Astra 900 series was produced in the 1930s and saw use in China and the Spanish Civil War, known for its distinctive broom-handle grip and 10-round fixed magazine.

• Astra Constable / Constable II (1965–1984): A small double-action pocket pistol in .32 ACP and .380 ACP, inspired by the Walther PP. Produced from the mid-1960s, it served as a police and civilian carry gun, later updated as the Constable II with slight design tweaks into the early 1990s

• Astra Cub (1958–1968): A micro pocket pistol available in .25 ACP and .22 Short (marketed in the U.S. as the Colt Junior). It was produced by Astra and sold under both brands from 1958 until the 1968 Gun Control Act halted import. Despite its diminutive size, it offered seven rounds and remained popular for deep concealment.

• Astra Model 4000 “Falcon” (1955–1961): A compact blowback pistol offered in .22 LR, .32 ACP, and .380 ACP. Introduced in 1955, the Falcon featured an exposed hammer (unlike its striker-fired predecessors) and improved sights. It was designed for police and civilian use as a lightweight carry gun.

• Astra Model 600 (1944–1945): A 9×19mm Parabellum pistol, essentially a scaled-up Astra 400, made during WWII for a German contract. About 10,500 were delivered in 1944 before supply routes closed; production continued through 1945. Postwar, many Astra 600s were later issued to West German police.

• Astra Model 6000 “Eagle” (Falcon upgrade): A rare variant sometimes called the Model 4000 Falcon with extended barrel, produced in the late 1950s (often custom or export versions). (This model is only briefly noted on the site; production details are limited.)

Beretta (Italy)

• Beretta 81 Series “Cheetah” (1976–present): A family of compact blowback pistols. Models 81/82 in .32 ACP and 84/85 in .380 ACP (9mm Short) were introduced in 1976. Known as the “Cheetah” line, these double-action pistols offer 7–13 round capacities. For example, the Beretta 84 FS Cheetah is a .380 with 13 rounds, popular for its balance of size and firepower. Production began in the 1970s and continued for decades, with the .32 ACP versions (81/82) mainly used by Italian authorities and the .380 versions (83–86) also seeing widespread civilian use.

• Beretta 92 & 96 Series (1976–present): The full-sized double-action 9mm Beretta 92 was designed in 1975 and entered production in 1976. It became famous as the U.S. M9 service pistol (92F/92FS variant adopted 1985). Variants include the 92F/FS (standard 9mm, 15+1 capacity), the 92FS Inox (stainless steel finish), 92G (decocker-only), 92D (double-action-only), and the M9A1 (2000s variant with accessory rail). The .40 S&W versions were designated 96, 96D, 96A1, etc. Production of the 92 series has been continuous since the mid-1970s, with over a million made. The Beretta 96 in .40 caliber was introduced in the 1990s to offer the then-new .40 S&W chambering in the same platform. (Both 92 and 96 “Steel I” target models are mentioned, referring to limited all-steel frame versions for competition.)

• Beretta 92 Compact (1980s–present): A shorter-barreled, more concealable version of the Model 92. Several iterations exist (Type M, L), including the 92 Compact L in 9mm (13-round mags) introduced in the late 1980s. These retain the full 92’s design but with a shorter 4.3″ barrel and reduced grip. They were produced intermittently; recent reintroductions have been made due to collector interest.

• Beretta 92S (1976–1983): An early variant of the Model 92 adopted by Italian police, distinguished by its slide-mounted safety and heel magazine release. Produced in the late 1970s, the 92S was an evolution of the first-model 92 and set the pattern for the later 92F. (Some surplus 92S pistols were imported to the U.S., marked as “92S Rare” on the site due to collectability.)

• Beretta 92X Performance (2019–present): A modern all-steel competition version of the 92. Introduced in 2019, the 92X Performance is tuned for IPSC/USPSA shooting with a heavy Brigadier slide and frame weight for stability. It features a frame-mounted safety, improved trigger, and is ideal for sport shooters looking for speed and accuracy in a 92-series pistol.

• **Beretta Combat “Super” 92 (1980s): A specialized target version of the 92 series from the 1980s, often called the 92 Combat. It was single-action only with an adjustable sight and extended barrel, designed for practical shooting competitions. Production was limited; it’s a sought-after variant among Beretta enthusiasts for its superb trigger and accuracy.

• Beretta 92 Compact Type M (1990s): A rare single-stack version of the 92 Compact. The Type M has a thinner grip and an 8-round single-column magazine (unlike the standard double-stack), aimed at users desiring a slimmer profile. It was produced primarily in the 1990s in limited numbers.

• Beretta M1934 (1935–1959): A historic compact pistol in .380 ACP (9mm Corto). Adopted in 1934, it became the Italian service pistol through WWII. The M1934 is a robust blowback design with a 7+1 capacity. It continued in production post-war, and a .32 ACP sister model (M1935) was made from 1935 to 1967. Many M1934s served into the 1950s, and Beretta even kept it in limited production for foreign orders up to the early 1960s.

• Beretta Model 70/70S & 71 “Puma/Jaguar” (1958–1985): A series of slim blowback pistols produced in various calibers. The Model 70 and 70S in .32 ACP (.380 in some cases) were nicknamed “Puma,” while the Model 71, 72, 74, 75 in .22 LR were nicknamed “Jaguar.” These pistols were made from 1958 to 1985. They featured single-action triggers and were popular for sport and defense – the .22 LR Jaguar models were notable for their use by Israeli agents in the 1970s due to their reliability and accuracy.

• Beretta Model 8000 & 8040 “Cougar” (1994–2005): A line of compact DA/SA pistols with a rotating-barrel locking system. The 8000 Cougar (9×19mm) was introduced in 1994 as a more compact alternative to the 92 series, and the 8040 Cougar is the .40 S&W variant. These pistols hold 15 (9mm) or 11 (.40) rounds. Initially made by Beretta in Italy, production later moved to the Stoeger subsidiary in the mid-2000s. They are known for good ergonomics and recoil mitigation via the rotating barrel design.

• Beretta Mod. 90 (1970–1983): A seldom-seen Beretta pistol chambered in .32 ACP (7.65mm). The Model 90 was a compact alloy-framed double-action pistol introduced around 1970 and made in Beretta’s Rome plant. Only ~25,000 were produced through the early 1980s, making it relatively rare. It featured a frame-mounted safety/decocker and was an early attempt at a small DA auto for policing and export markets.

• Beretta Model 950 “Jetfire/Minx” (1952–2003): A very compact single-action pocket pistol. The Jetfire in .25 ACP and Minx in .22 Short were introduced in 1952 and remarkably stayed in production (in Italy, Brazil, and the USA) until 2003. These pistols have a tip-up barrel for easy unloading and no extractor. They were extremely popular as backup guns due to their reliability and tiny size (under 300g).

• Beretta Model 951 (M1951) (1953–1980): A single-action 9mm pistol, also known as the Brigadier or “Egyptian Contract” pistol. It was Beretta’s first 9×19mm service handgun, adopted by the Italian Navy and Marines in the 1950s and by others (notably Egypt as the “Helwan”). Production ran from 1953 to 1980. The M1951 has an 8-round magazine and a locking-block system later refined in the Beretta 92. Its robustness and simplicity made it a success across the Middle East.

• Beretta 92 Vertec & M9A3 (2003 & 2015): The 92 Vertec (circa 2003) is a variant of the Beretta 92FS with a straight backstrap (1911-like grip angle) and an accessory rail, aimed at law enforcement users who wanted a more vertical grip. The M9A3 (2015) is an upgraded military model with Vertec grip, threaded barrel, night sights, and improved durability. The M9A3 was offered as an improvement to the U.S. M9; it began production mid-2010s and is effectively a modernized 92FS intended for tactical use.

Bernardelli (Italy)

• Bernardelli Model 60 (1960–1970s): A .22 LR target pistol introduced around 1960. It is a compact, all-steel single-action pistol known for its light recoil and was marketed for sport shooting. Production was limited, and it’s somewhat uncommon today.

• Bernardelli Model 68 & “6.35 Brev.” (1968–1970s): A small-frame pocket pistol. The Model 68 was made in .22 Short and .22 LR for sport, while a variant in 6.35mm Browning (.25 ACP) was produced for deep concealment (Bernardelli sometimes called their .25 auto the “Baby” or “Brevet” for Browning). Both versions are simple blowback pistols from the late 1960s, meant for personal defense; they are now quite scarce.

• Bernardelli P-One (1980s–1990s): A full-size 9×19mm double-action service pistol. The Bernardelli P-One (often stylized “P-One”) was introduced in the late 1980s. It features a polymer grip frame insert and an ambidextrous frame safety. Only a few thousand were made before Bernardelli exited the handgun market. Despite its quality, it had limited adoption, making it a rare find. (“P One sw” likely refers to a variant or special edition, possibly for Swiss trials or with a specific safety configuration.)

Bersa (Argentina)

• Bersa Model Lusber 84 (1950s): An early Bersa design and the company’s first centerfire pistol. The Lusber 84 is a .32 ACP (7.65mm) single-action blowback pistol introduced in the 1950s. It shows influence from the Walther PP in design. Roughly equivalent to a “Model 84” in Bersa’s lineup, its production numbers were low, making it a collectible today. (Notably, a Bersa Lusber 84 gained attention for being used in a high-profile event in Argentina.) Total production was likely only a few thousand units, and it predated Bersa’s better-known Thunder series.

Browning / FN (Belgium)

• FN Model 1906 “Baby” Browning (.25 ACP, 1906–present): A tiny single-action pocket pistol designed by John M. Browning and produced by Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Belgium. First made in 1906, this 6.35mm pistol was one of the world’s first successful vest-pocket autos. An updated design known as the “Baby Browning” was introduced in 1931 and made by FN until 1979, with over half a million produced. These pistols have 6-round magazines and were extremely popular for discreet carry through the mid-20th century.

• FN Model 1910 & 1922 (1910–1983): Influential blowback pistols in .32 ACP and .380 ACP. The Model 1910 was introduced in 1910 and famously was used in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. It continued in production until about 1983, with modifications over time. In 1922, FN lengthened the barrel and grip of the 1910 to create the Model 1922, which saw extensive service with European militaries (including as a standard Dutch and Greek sidearm). Both are simple, reliable pistols; the 1922 was made through WWII (and under German occupation) and postwar for foreign contracts.

• FN Model 1903 (1903–1927): A larger Browning-designed pistol in 9×20mm Browning Long (and some in .32 ACP), also known as the “Browning No.2” or “Model 1903 Pocket” despite its size. Adopted by several countries’ militaries (Sweden, for example), it was produced from 1903 to about 1927. It holds 7 or 8 rounds and was one of the early service pistols using Browning’s designs before the advent of locked-breech systems.

• Browning Hi-Power (P35) (1935–2018): One of the most prolific military pistols in history. The Hi-Power, or GP-35, is a 13+1 capacity 9mm single-action pistol designed by John Browning and finished by Dieudonné Saive at FN. It entered production in 1935 and remained in FN’s lineup until 2018. The Hi-Power served as the service pistol for over 50 armies and was praised for its accuracy and reliability. Numerous variants exist: the site specifically notes “MK III” (the late-production model introduced in 1988 with improved sights and ambidextrous safety) and mentions “Halkalı” (Turkish for “ringed”), referring to models with a lanyard ring – likely Hi-Power Mark III pistols used by Turkish police, produced with lanyard rings.

• Browning BDA 380 (1977–1997): A compact double-action .380 ACP pistol. The Browning BDA .380 was actually made by Beretta for Browning – essentially a Beretta Model 84 with slide-mounted safety and Browning markings. It was introduced in the late 1970s and sold through the 1980s and 90s. It features a 13-round magazine and alloy frame. Production ceased in the late 1990s once Beretta’s patent expired and the Beretta 84 became more widely available; around 100,000 BDA 380s were produced.

• FN HP-DA / Browning BDA 9 (1983–1987): A double-action variant of the Hi-Power, known in Europe as the FN HP-DA and marketed in the U.S. as the Browning BDA 9. It was introduced in 1983 as an updated service pistol with DA/SA trigger, ambidextrous controls, and decocker to compete in military trials. Manufactured until 1987, it was adopted in limited numbers (e.g. by some Belgian police). A compact version and a DAO version (HP-DAO / BDAO) were also made in small quantities. While it didn’t achieve the fame of the original Hi-Power, it represented FN’s effort to modernize; today these pistols are relatively uncommon.

• “PA FEG 63” / FEG PA-63 (1963–2000): (Listed under Browning on the site, though actually Hungarian.) The FÉG PA-63 is a Hungarian semi-auto introduced in 1963. It’s a Walther PP-derived design chambered in 9×18mm Makarov (not 7.65 as the site grouping might suggest) and served the Hungarian military and police through the Cold War. It features an aluminum frame and 7-round magazine. Production ran from the 1960s into the 1990s. Its inclusion in the Browning section likely indicates grips that also fit similar Walther/Browning designs.

• “6.35 – FN 1906” & “7.65 – PA 63”: These refer to caliber groupings on the site. 6.35mm is the .25 ACP category, essentially the FN 1906/Baby Browning pocket pistols described above. 7.65mm refers to .32 ACP guns – likely including the FN 1910, 1922, and possibly the Hungarian FÉG PA-63 or other European police pistols in .32. (For instance, the PA-63’s predecessor FÉG R-61 was in .32, and French Unique pistols in .32 might also fit here. The site grouping suggests grips that fit a generic .32 “PA63” size frame, which can include multiple models.)

Canik (Turkey)

• Canik 55 Compact (2000s): A compact 9mm semi-automatic from Turkey. “Canik 55” was an early brand name (from Canik’s Model 55). It’s essentially a clone of the Walther PPK/s or a compact CZ-pattern pistol produced in the 2000s. This small double-action pistol was imported in limited numbers; it holds 11–13 rounds of 9mm and was one of Canik’s first offerings in the international market.

• Canik L120 (2010s): A full-size 9mm pistol which is a licensed clone of the CZ-75 design. The Canik L-120 features an all-steel frame and 15-round capacity, mimicking the classic CZ-75 layout. Manufactured in the 2010s, it offered an affordable yet quality option for shooters. Canik’s CZ-based pistols like the L120 helped establish the company’s reputation before it shifted focus to the TP9 polymer striker-fired series.

Colt (USA)

• Colt Model 1902 (1902–1928): One of Colt’s early semi-automatic pistols designed by John Browning. The Model 1902 was made in two main versions: Military and Sporting, both chambered in .38 ACP. Approximately 18,000 Military Models (with slide stop and lanyard loop) and ~6,900 Sporting Models were produced. Production ran from 1902 until 1928. These pistols had a 7-round magazine and Browning’s short-recoil system without a barrel link (using a rear slide extension to arrest recoil). They saw limited military use and are today valued as collectibles.

• Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless (1903–1945): A famous .32 ACP concealment pistol (a .380 ACP version was the Model 1908). The 1903 “Pocket Hammerless” actually has a concealed hammer and was extremely popular with civilians, police, and as a U.S. General Officers’ pistol. Approximately 570,000 were made from 1903 to 1945. It features an 8-round magazine (.32 cal) and safety devices like a grip safety. Its sleek design made it an early 20th-century classic for discreet carry.

• Colt M1911 / 1911A1 (1911–present): The legendary single-action .45 ACP pistol designed by Browning. Adopted by the U.S. military in 1911, it served as the standard issue sidearm from 1911 to 1986. The original M1911 was updated to the 1911A1 in 1924 with minor ergonomic improvements. Colt’s commercial Government Model continued production, and countless clones exist. Military production ceased in 1945 (resuming briefly for Korea), but Colt kept making civilian 1911s and introduced Series 70 and Series 80 updates. Even after retirement from U.S. service (replaced by the M9 in 1985), the 1911 design remains in production by Colt and others to this day. (The site also references 1911 fitment for brands like Les Baer, Nowlin, Springfield, Kimber – these are modern manufacturers of 1911-pattern pistols. In essence, any standard full-size 1911 falls under this category, and the grips are interchangeable.)Colt 1911 Compact Variants (Officer’s, Defender, New Agent – 1985–present): Colt introduced smaller 1911 versions for concealed carry. The Officer’s ACP (1985) has a 3.5″ barrel and shorter grip (6-round .45 mag). The Defender (1990s) is an even lighter 3″ barrel alloy-frame model. The New Agent (2000s) is similar to the Defender but with gutter sights. These share the same frame size (sometimes called “Officer’s frame”), so grips listed for “Colt 1911 Compact – Officer & Defender & Agent” will fit any of these mini-1911s. Production of various models continues (Colt still offers the Defender), and they are popular for concealed carry in .45 ACP.

• Colt Detective Special / Cobra / Agent (D-Frame Revolvers, 1927–1970s): A family of small-frame Colt revolvers. The Detective Special debuted in 1927 as a snub-nosed 6-shot .38 Special revolver, one of the first of its kind. The Cobra (1950) and Agent (1955) were lightweight aluminum-frame versions for easier carry. All share Colt’s “D-frame.” They were standard plainclothes police guns for decades. Original Detective Special production ran through 1972 (then a third issue to 1986). The Cobra and Agent were made into the 1970s. These revolvers are iconic snub-noses – the Detective Special notably retained 6 shots versus S&W’s 5-shot J-frames of similar size. (The site listing “Detective/Agent/Cobra D Frame” indicates one grip size fits all three, as expected.)

• Colt Double Eagle (1989–1997): Colt’s first attempt at a double-action .45 ACP pistol, based on the 1911 design. The Double Eagle was part of Colt’s Series 90 and featured a DA/SA trigger and decocking lever while retaining the 1911’s magazine and general layout. It was produced from 1989 until 1997 in various sizes (Full-size, Commander, and Officer’s models) and calibers (.45 ACP primarily, with some in 10mm, 9mm, and .40). While innovative, it saw limited sales and earned a mixed reputation, leading Colt to discontinue it after about eight years. Today it’s something of a curiosity for Colt collectors.

• Colt King Cobra – Original (1986–1992, 1994–1998): A .357 Magnum revolver built on Colt’s medium-size “V-frame.” The King Cobra was introduced in 1986 as a more robust successor to the Trooper. It was produced from 1986 to 1992, then brought back 1994 to 1998, after which it was shelved until a recent 2019 reintroduction. The original King Cobra was available in barrel lengths from 2.5″ to 8″ and was known for its stainless construction. (The site specifies “Pre 2017,” referring to the original production runs. New models after 2019 use different grips.) The original King Cobra was a popular double-action revolver for law enforcement and civilian use, valued for its strength (able to handle steady Magnum use).

• Colt Mustang & Variants (1986–1997): A mini .380 ACP pistol based on the 1911 style. The Colt Mustang was introduced in 1986 and produced until 1997. It’s a single-action pocket pistol with a 6-round magazine. Variants include the Mustang Plus II (1988–1996) which had a slightly extended grip to hold 7 rounds, and the Mustang Pocketlite (lightweight aluminum frame, introduced 1987). These pistols offered excellent concealability with familiar 1911-like controls. After a hiatus, Colt reintroduced the Mustang design in 2011 (the Colt Mustang XSP and Lite). (Grips listed as “Mustang Plus II” and “Mustang PocketLite” correspond to the slightly different frame sizes of these versions. The site’s focus is on the original production grips.)

• Colt Python – Original (1955–2005): A flagship Colt revolver, famed for its silky action and accuracy. The Python is a .357 Magnum built on Colt’s I-Frame (later termed “Python frame”), introduced in 1955 and made until 2005. It has a distinct ventilated rib barrel and was offered typically in 4″, 6″, and 8″ barrels (with some 2.5″ and 3″ made). The Python was often called the finest production revolver of its time, with a level of hand-fitting that earned it the nickname “Rolls-Royce of Revolvers.” Early Pythons came in royal blue or nickel finishes. Colt suspended production in 2005, making original Pythons highly sought-after. (Colt relaunched the Python in 2020, but those use different grip dimensions – hence the site notes “Pre 2020”.)

CZ (Česká Zbrojovka, Czech Republic)

• ČZ vz.45 (1946–1948): A small .25 ACP hammer-fired pocket pistol originally designed during WWII as the DUO, then produced by CZ after the war as the vz.45. It’s a simple blowback with a 6+1 capacity, made just for a few years in the late 1940s. It provided European civilians with a concealable carry option. (The site lists “CZ 45,” referring to this model. There was also a later CZ 92 in .25, see below.)

• CZ 50 / CZ 70 (1950–1970 & 1970–1983): The CZ Model 50 is a .32 ACP double-action service pistol introduced in 1950 for Czech police. It closely resembles the Walther PP in size and function. In 1970 it was updated slightly and re-designated CZ 70, produced until 1983. Both are blowback, 8-shot pistols. They were durable and saw extensive use in Czechoslovakia; many surplus examples exist internationally. (The site grouping “VZOR 50 – 70” corresponds to these.)

• CZ 75 (1975–present): The flagship 9mm double-action pistol from Czechoslovakia. Designed in 1975, the CZ 75 combined a 15-round staggered magazine with a Browning linkless cam locking system, and features like a comfortable grip and all-steel construction. It wasn’t widely available in the West until after 1990 due to export restrictions, but now is one of the most popular 9mm pistols worldwide. Variants include CZ 75B (with firing pin block, introduced ~1993), 75BD (decocker version), and CZ 85 (ambidextrous version). Over a million CZ 75s and derivatives have been made.

• CZ 75 Compact Family (1990s–present): A series of shorter-barrel CZ 75 variants. This includes the CZ 75 Compact (shorter slide and grip, 15-round), the CZ 75D PCR (Police Czech Republic, alloy frame compact with decocker, introduced late 1990s), and CZ P-01 (modernized alloy compact with rail, 2001). Also related is the CZ 75 P-07 Duty (polymer, but different lineage). The site lists “Compact CZ 75 – 85 CZ P-01 – C100 – T100 – PCR – CZ 75 D”, implying grips that fit the compact CZ-75 pattern, including some Canik/Tristar clones like C100/T100 (made in Turkey). All these are compact DA/SA 9mm pistols derived from the CZ 75 design, offering 14–15 round capacity in a handier form for carry.

• CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW & Shadow 2 (2005–present): Competition-oriented versions of the CZ 75. The CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow (mid-2000s) and the newer Shadow 2 (introduced 2016) are tuned 9mm pistols for IPSC/USPSA Production class. They feature improved triggers, higher capacity (17-19 rounds), extended mag wells, and fiber optic sights. The Shadow 2, in particular, is heavier with a redesigned frame for recoil control and quickly gained renown in action shooting circles. (The site’s “Shadow 1” reference corresponds to the SP-01 Shadow, and “Shadow 2” is listed separately.)

• CZ 83 (1983–2012): A blowback compact pistol in .380 ACP (and some in .32 ACP), essentially an updated CZ 82 for civilian market. The CZ 82 was a Czech military sidearm in 9×18 Makarov (1983–1992); the CZ 83 in .380 was sold commercially until 2012. It holds 12+1 in .380 and features ambidextrous controls. These pistols are known for their excellent accuracy and ergonomics for a blowback design.

• CZ 97B (1997–present): A .45 ACP full-size pistol, basically a scaled-up CZ 75. Introduced in 1997, the CZ 97B offers 10-round .45 capacity, a Browning-type locking system, and the same DA/SA action. It’s a large gun, with a reputation for very good accuracy. A variant with a decocker (97BD) was later introduced.

• CZ 2075 RAMI (2004–2020): A subcompact alloy-frame pistol in 9mm (and briefly .40). The RAMI (named from designers Rybář and Mikulášek) has a 3” barrel and came with 10-round flush or 14-round extended magazines. Produced from 2004, it provided a truly small carry option in the CZ line. It was recently discontinued in 2020. The RAMI is respected for its shootability despite its size.

• CZ 92 (1992–1994): A tiny double-action .25 ACP pistol that was essentially CZ’s modern take on the vest-pocket. It’s extremely rare (production only early ’90s). The site listing “92 1 product” likely refers to the CZ 92. It’s an up-rated successor to the CZ 45 with a double-action trigger and was made in very small numbers for the civilian market.

• CZ (ProArms) “ProTektor” (2000s): The mention “(ProArmis Ver)” likely refers to a ProArms Armory custom variant of a CZ pistol (possibly a modified CZ 75 or CZ 97). ProArms (ProArmis) is a Czech gunsmith known for customizing CZs. The site listing suggests a special version with unique grip compatibility. (This is an obscure reference; it might be a competition grip for a CZ variant like the Pro Tek series.)

Desert Eagle (Israel/USA)

• Magnum Research Desert Eagle (1983–present): A large caliber gas-operated pistol known for its use in movies and its sheer size. The Desert Eagle was designed in the 1980s by Magnum Research in the U.S. and refined by IMI in Israel. It was introduced in .357 Magnum (Mark I) in 1983, then .44 Magnum (1986), and later .50 Action Express (1991). Current production (Mark XIX) allows swapping barrels between .357, .44, .50 AE. The site lists “.357/.44/.50 Cal” together, indicating one grip fits all those variants (which share the same frame). The Desert Eagle has a 7–9 round capacity depending on caliber and is one of the few semi-autos that can handle true magnum revolver cartridges. It remains in limited production primarily for sport, hunting, and collectors.

“Germany Parabellum” (German/Hungarian Pistols)

(This category appears to group together some lesser-known 9mm Parabellum pistols with German connections.)

• FEG “Tokagypt 58” / “Firebird” (1958): The Tokagypt 58 was a Hungarian FÉG PA-63 pistol modified to 9×19mm for an Egyptian police contract in 1958. Essentially, Hungary took their Tokarev-based design and chambered it in 9mm Luger, adding a safety. When that contract fell through, many were remarketed in West Germany as the “Firebird 9mm Parabellum”, marked “Firebird – West Germany.” In reality these pistols were made by FÉG in Hungary. Only about 15,000 were made. They are a single-action, 8-shot pistol that externally resembles a Tokarev TT-33. The site listing “FireBird West Germany / Tokagypt 58 Hungarian” refers to this same pistol under its two aliases. These were produced in the late 1950s and are quite rare. Despite being an oddity, they function well and gave Western shooters a chance to own a Tokarev-like pistol in common 9mm.

H&K (Heckler & Koch, Germany)

• Heckler & Koch P7M8 (1979–2008): A compact 9×19mm pistol famous for its squeeze-cocking mechanism. The P7M8 is the 8-round version adopted by German police in the late 1970s. It features a fixed barrel (for accuracy) and a unique gas-delayed blowback system. Production in Germany ran from 1979 until 2008, with the P7M8 also seeing use with some U.S. police units. Its slim profile and innovative design made it a cult favorite, though it was costly to produce.

• Heckler & Koch P7M13 (1982–2008): A double-stack version of the P7, holding 13 rounds. It has a slightly wider grip to accommodate the larger magazine. The P7M13 was introduced in the early 1980s and was even trialed by the U.S. Army. Production lasted until around 2008 alongside the P7M8. Both P7 variants are known for superb accuracy and a very low bore axis, but they heat up quickly due to the gas system. (H&K discontinued the entire P7 line by 2008, making these sought by collectors.)

Jericho (IWI, Israel)

• Jericho 941 (1989–present): Also known as the “Baby Eagle” (in the USA) or IMI Jericho. A 9mm (and later .40) pistol based on the CZ-75 design. It was introduced in 1990 by Israel Military Industries. The name “941” comes from the original package of 9×19 and .41 Action Express dual-caliber kit (the .41 AE caliber was later dropped in favor of .40 S&W). Jericho 941 F and FS refer to the standard models (FS has frame-mounted safety, F variant sometimes denotes compact). 941 FB likely indicates the compact version with frame safety. The Jericho is known for its reliability and all-steel construction (polymer-framed versions emerged later). Early Jerichos were produced through the 1990s by IMI, and IWI has continued modern production. They have been used by Israeli police and exported widely. Essentially, any Jericho 941 variant is a CZ-pattern DA/SA pistol with 16-round 9mm capacity. The full-size (F) and semi-compact (FB) share most components except barrel/slide length.

Kahr (USA)

• Kahr MK9 (1999–present): A subcompact 9mm pocket pistol from Kahr Arms. The MK9 is an all-steel micro pistol introduced in the late 1990s (around 1999). It has a 3″ barrel and 6+1 capacity (standard flush magazine). The MK9 is known for its smooth double-action-only trigger and solid build. It was designed for concealed carry, being only about 5.3″ long. Production of the MK9 continues, and it spawned polymer variants (PM9). The site listing indicates grips fitting the Kahr MK9 specifically – these pistols have wraparound grips that are replaceable. The MK9’s production years span the late ’90s to present, making it a modern classic in the deep concealment category.

Kevin (ZVI, Czech Republic)

• ZVI Kevin (1990s–present), aka “ZP98”: A Czech made micro pistol. The Kevin (also briefly imported as the “Fort 12” or “Micro Desert Eagle” in the US) is a DAO pocket pistol in .25 ACP or .380 ACP. It was developed in the late 1990s in Czechia, with “ZP98” indicating design year 1998. The Kevin has a 6+1 capacity and is very compact, intended as a last-resort self-defense gun. Production in Czech Republic continued into the 2000s. The site lists “ZP98” under Kevin, confirming it’s the Kevin pistol. Notably, it has no manual safety and is built for close-range reliability. Its frame is alloy and it has a fixed barrel blowback operation. The Kevin is an example of a modern Eastern European take on the concept of the vest-pocket pistol.

Kırıkkale (Turkey)

• Kırıkkale 7.65mm Pistol (1949–1950s): The “Kırıkkale” is essentially the Turkish copy of the Walther PP in .32 ACP. Produced by MKE in the late 1940s and 1950s in the city of Kırıkkale, it was Turkey’s first domestic semi-automatic pistol and was used by Turkish military and police. It’s a double-action pistol with an 8-round magazine, virtually identical in function to the Walther. Production began in 1949 and continued into the 1950s. Some estimates suggest it was made until around 1954–55, including a variant in 9mm Kurz (.380) for civilian sale. The Kırıkkale pistol is considered a “legendary” Turkish weapon, known for its robust construction. On the site, it appears that “Kırıkkale” itself is the model name (the category shows “Kırıkkale 5 products,” meaning grips for the standard Kırıkkale pistol). In summary, Kırıkkale 7.65 was a Turkish service pistol (1950s) – essentially a Walther PP clone – and remains of historical interest in Turkey.

Korth (Germany)

• Korth Revolvers (1954–present): Korth is a German manufacturer of high-end revolvers. The site references “Korth” with one product, which likely corresponds to grips for a Korth .357 Magnum revolver (perhaps the Korth Combat model or similar). Korth began making revolvers in the 1950s and they’re produced in small numbers, often custom-built. Classic Korth revolvers (1950s–1980s) were famed for superb quality, competing with Manurhin and Colt Pythons at the top of the market. Modern Korth (now part of Nighthawk in the US) still produces luxury revolvers. If a specific model is implied, it might be the Korth Combat (4″ .357, introduced in the 1960s) or Korth Sport. Production years vary by model, but generally Korth revolvers have been continuously made in different series from the mid-20th century to today. (Without a model specified, one can assume the grip fits a standard frame Korth revolver, possibly the 1970s frame size.)

LLama (Spain)

• Llama IX-A & 1911-style Models (1930s–1980s): Llama (Gabilondo y Cía) produced a series of pistols that were scaled versions of the M1911, often in smaller calibers. The Llama Model IX-A was a full-size .45 ACP 1911-style pistol (8-round mag) made in Spain, particularly popular in the 1970s as a budget alternative to Colt. Llama also made models in .38 Super and 9mm (VIII, IX, etc.). These are sometimes generically called “Llama 1911s.” They were produced from the 1930s up to the 1980s, with various improvements. While not exact parts clones of Colts, they look and feel very similar. The site’s “1911 Style” category for Llama likely covers these full-size pistols that use grip panels akin to 1911s (though screw spacing differs slightly).

• Llama MAX-I, MAX-II, MAX-III (1990s): After a reorganization, Llama introduced the “MAX” series in the 1990s as improved 1911-style pistols. For example, the Max-I was a full-size .45, Max-II a Commander-size, Max III a compact Officer-size, and so on. They often had polished slides and came in 9mm, .40, .45. The site lists “Max I – IX – IXA,” combining older Roman numeral models (IX, IX-A) with “Max I” – all are essentially the same genre (full-size Llama 1911-type). Llama pistols of this line ceased production around 2005 when the company closed. In summary, any Llama 1911-style pistol from mid-century to 2000s is represented here, all of which trace back to designs from 1930s Colt derivatives. (Grips for Llama 1911s are slightly different from Colt 1911 grips due to grip screw spacing and the presence of a grip screw bushing in the frame.)

Luger (DWM/Mauser, Germany)

• Luger P08 (1900–1942): The iconic German military pistol formally adopted in 1908. The Luger (Parabellum Pistole) in 9×19mm served as Germany’s sidearm through WWI and into WWII. Early versions (1900, 1906) were in 7.65mm Parabellum; the P.08 in 9mm became standard for WWI. It holds an 8-round magazine and is a toggle-lock design. Production by DWM and later Mauser continued until 1942. After WWII, Mauser made commemorative and Mauser Parabellum 06/73 pistols from 1970 to 1986 for collectors, but those were limited. The Luger’s distinctive grip shape requires specific grip panels, hence the site’s category. Essentially, any Luger P.08 or Swiss 1900/06 would use similar grips (with minor fitting differences). The Luger remains one of the most recognized pistols ever, known for its complex toggle action and excellent accuracy.

MAB (France)

• MAB Model D (1933–1963): A French .32 ACP service pistol made by Manufacture d’armes de Bayonne (MAB). The Model D was a Browning 1910-inspired design but slightly larger, with a longer grip (holding 9 rounds of .32) and typically a lanyard loop. It was used by French police and government agencies before and after WWII. Production ran from the mid-1930s until about 1963. It’s a simple blowback pistol with both manual and grip safeties. The Model D is known for its robustness and was also sold commercially in .380 ACP (with 7-round mags). The site’s listing “Mod D” presumably refers to this pistol. Many surplus MAB Ds were exported, but they are relatively scarce today compared to other European pistols of the era.

Makarov (USSR / Eastern Bloc)

• Makarov PM (1951–1991): The standard Soviet military and police sidearm of the Cold War. Designed by Nikolai Makarov, it’s a simple blowback pistol in 9×18mm Makarov caliber with a 8-round magazine. It was adopted in 1951 and served the USSR and many Eastern Bloc nations up until the early 1990s. Variants were made in different countries: East Germany, China (Type 59), Bulgaria, etc. Production in the USSR continued into the 1980s. The PM is valued for its simplicity and reliability. It has a fixed barrel and double-action trigger, much like a heavier Walther PP. Many surplus Makarovs came into the West and they maintain a good reputation. On the site, “PM 2 products” likely means grips fitting the standard Makarov pistol (which has interchangeable grip frames across most variants). In summary, the Makarov pistol was produced roughly from 1951 to 1991 in the USSR (and longer in some satellite countries), and remains in limited use even today.

Mauser (Germany)

• Mauser 90DA (1990–1995): A double-action 9mm pistol marketed by Mauser in the early 1990s. After a long hiatus from handgun production, Mauser (then owned by Rheinmetall) introduced the Model 90 DA around 1990, which was essentially a Swiss SIG P220 made under license (often called the SIG-Sauer P220 “Mauser” version). It also appeared in .45 ACP (as the Mauser 90DA in .45). Production was limited (early to mid-1990s) and these pistols are not common. They have a decocker and resemble SIG P22x series pistols. The site’s “90DA” category likely corresponds to this pistol’s grips (which are similar to P220 grips).

• Mauser Parabellum 06/73 (1970–1986): A revival of the Luger by Mauser in the 1970s. Mauser Werke produced the “Parabellum 1970” series in 9mm and 7.65mm, including commemorative models like the American Eagle. Production effectively ran from 1970 to 1986, ending with some commemorative runs. Only a few thousand were made. These pistols kept the classic Luger look and feel, but often had improved metallurgy. The site listing “Parabellum 06-73” refers to these Mauser-made Lugers, and grips for them are essentially Luger P08 grips. (It appears the site acknowledges them separately, but practically they use the same grip profile as WWI Lugers.)

Ruger (USA)

• Ruger GP100 (1986–present): A robust double-action .357 Magnum revolver. Introduced in 1986 as the successor to Ruger’s Security Six, the GP100 features a full lug barrel and modular grip frame. It’s built like a tank and is popular for both duty and civilian use. Still in production, it comes in various barrel lengths (3″, 4″, 6″, etc.) and finishes. It holds 6 rounds (some recent .327 Fed Mag versions hold 7). The GP100’s grip frame is designed to accept different grip styles easily, which is why aftermarket grips (like those on the site) are commonen.wikipedia.org.

• Ruger SP101 (1989–present): A small-frame stainless revolver, usually 5-shot .38/.357 (also made in .22 and .327). Introduced in 1989, the SP101 is essentially Ruger’s answer to the S&W J-Frame but slightly larger and stronger. It was made with 2.25″, 3″ (and later 4″ .22) barrels. It’s favored for concealed carry and as a trail gun. Its production continues, and like the GP100, it uses rubber grips with removable panels, so custom grips are available.

• Ruger New Model Blackhawk (1973–present): A single-action revolver styled like the classic Colt SAA but built to handle high pressures. The Blackhawk was introduced in the 1950s, but the “New Model” with a transfer bar safety came in 1973. It’s made in various calibers (.357, .45 Colt, .44 Special, etc.). The New Model Blackhawk remains in production – it’s beloved for durability and for being a platform to shoot powerful loads (especially .45 Colt +P or .44 Magnum in the Super Blackhawk). The site’s grips likely fit the XR3-RED grip frame of the New Model Blackhawk.

• Ruger New Vaquero (2005–present): A traditional-looking single-action revolver for Cowboy Action shooting. The Vaquero was originally introduced in 1993 on the Blackhawk frame, then the New Vaquero in 2005 uses a slightly smaller frame closer to Colt dimensions. It’s chambered in .357 or .45 Colt and has fixed sights, emulating the old west revolvers. Grips for the New Vaquero differ from the older Vaquero, but the site lists “New Vaquera” which presumably means the New Vaquero model (the Spanish word “Vaquera” is feminine; likely a translation oddity). These revolvers are still made and are known for their strength and nostalgic style.

• Ruger P-Series (1985–2013): A line of semi-automatic pistols. This includes the P85 (designed mid-80s, produced 1987–1990), P89 (1991–2007), P90 (.45 ACP, 1991–2010), P94 (1994–2004), P95 (polymer frame, 1996–2013), etc. They are full-sized DA/SA pistols known for reliability and bulkiness. For instance, the P85 was Ruger’s first 9mm pistol, introduced in 1987 as a contender for the U.S. military trials. The site specifically lists “P85 / P85 MKII / P89 / P89DC / P90 / KP90DC / P91” – essentially the early models in 9mm and .45. All P-Series have double-stack magazines (except .45 which is single-stack 7+1). The P-Series was produced until 2013 when Ruger moved entirely to polymer-frame designs. These guns have interchangeable grip panels in certain groups (for example, P85 to P89 share grips). If a specific reference, “KP90DC” denotes a stainless P90 with Decocker. Overall, the Ruger P-Series ran from 1985 to 2013 and served as affordable duty pistols and home defense guns.

• Ruger 22/45 Mark III (2012) (Not explicitly listed, but possibly relevant if “1 product” under Ruger not identified): The Ruger .22 semi-auto pistols (Mark I/II/III) often have replaceable grip panels starting with some Mark III versions (like the 22/45 with replaceable panels introduced circa 2012). It’s possible a grip set for Ruger .22 pistols was present (though the site data shows only centerfire). If present, it would be for models like Ruger 22/45 which emulate a 1911 grip angle and can use 1911-style grip panels.

(Note: The Ruger listing on the site did not explicitly show MK series .22 pistols or the SR-series; it focused on revolvers and P-series. The above covers those listed.)

SAR (Sarsılmaz, Turkey)

• SAR AR-24 (2006–2012): A 9mm pistol which is a licensed copy of the French FAMAE/Charles Daly M-5 (itself based on the CZ-75). The AR-24 was imported by Armalite, hence “AR”. The AR-24K is the compact version. These were manufactured by Sarsılmaz in Turkey and marketed around 2006–2010. They are high-quality all-steel pistols but had limited market success. The site’s “AR-24K” category (2 products) refers to grips for the compact AR-24 variant.

• Sarsılmaz B6 / Kılınç 2000 “Mega” (1990s–present): The B6 Hawk is essentially a polymer-frame clone of the CZ-75 (Sarsılmaz B6). The Kılınç 2000 is the Turkish service pistol, basically a CZ-75 derivative as well; the “Mega” might refer to a specific edition or an early name for the full-size service model. These pistols emerged in the late 1990s and 2000s for Turkish military and police. The B6 (polymer) and Kılınç 2000 (alloy frame) both have 15-round capacity and are DA/SA. They are still produced in updated forms (e.g., the SAR B6 is sold in the U.S.). “Mega” may distinguish a version with certain features (like a beavertail frame).

• Sarsılmaz K-240 (Revolver, 2000s): Sarsılmaz also produced some revolvers. The K-240 likely indicates a .38 Special or .357 Mag revolver (the number possibly meaning 2.40 inch barrel or just a model code). Sarsılmaz made a series of revolvers (e.g., SR-38) but they are not widely known outside Turkey. The K-240 might be a 6-shot medium frame revolver introduced in the early 2000s. It’s less documented internationally.

• Sarsılmaz K2-45 & K2-45C (2009–present): These are high-capacity .45 ACP pistols. The K2 45 is a huge all-steel handgun holding 14+1 rounds of .45 ACP, introduced around 2009–2010 by Sarsılmaz. The K2-45C is a shorter “Compact” version. They utilize a CZ-derived action scaled up for .45. These pistols are known for their impressive capacity and solid build. They are still offered (sometimes under the SAR USA brand).

• Sarsılmaz P8L / P8S / P8C & K11 (2000s): The P8 series are polymer-framed pistols in 9mm (the P8L is a full-size with long slide, P8S probably a standard size, P8C a compact). They feature modern styling and were introduced in the late 2000s. The K11 might refer to a specific model or prototype (Sarsılmaz named some models with K, like K10, K11, which were compact polymers or alloy frame compacts). The Kılınç 2000 Light likely refers to an alloy-frame lighter version of the standard Kılınç (perhaps the Kılınç 2000 with lighter slide or compact form). These all use CZ-75 based design elements. Essentially, P8 and K10/11 series are evolved CZ clones with polymer or updated features, used in Turkish law enforcement.

• Sarsılmaz ST10 (2007–present): A compact/full pistol in 9mm adopted by Turkish police. The ST10 is an improved version of the Kılınç 2000, with a 4.5″ barrel, 15-round mag, and heftier slide. It was introduced around 2007. It has a reputation for toughness (marketed to compete with SIG Sauer). Still produced, it has a traditional DA/SA action with a frame-mounted safety. The ST10 was briefly exported to the U.S. and is regarded as a very solid duty gun, albeit on the heavier side.
  (In summary, Sarsılmaz’s lineup includes many CZ-based pistols. The site categories break them down by model or variant group. The years of production range mostly from the late 1990s to current, as Sarsılmaz has been actively making modern pistols for the past few decades.)

SIG (Swiss Arms, pre-Sig Sauer)

• SIG P210 (1949–2006): A legendary single-action 9mm pistol made by SIG in Switzerland. Adopted by the Swiss Army in 1949 as the Pistole 49, it served until 1975. The P210 is renowned for its accuracy, benefiting from a precision-fit slide inside the frame and a fixed-barrel design. It was also adopted by Denmark (M/49) and others. Swiss military production ended in 1975 (when replaced by the P220), but SIG continued limited production for private sales until 2006. The P210 had several variants (–1, –2, –4, –5, –6) for different sights and barrel lengths, and special editions like the “Heavy Frame” P210-5/6 for target shooting. The site lists categories separating “Heavy Frame, no lanyard” and “with lanyard ring” and the Danish M/49, which indicates grips for the different frame types of P210. The early P210-1/2/4 had a lanyard loop, later target models omitted it. These pistols were produced to the highest standards and even modern reboots (SIG Sauer’s 2017 P210) aim to emulate their quality. In essence, the SIG P210 (also called SIG P49) was made from 1949 to 2006 and is often considered one of the most accurate service pistols ever made.

• SIG P220 (1975–present): A double-action service pistol that replaced the P210 in Swiss service (designated Pistole 75). The original SIG P220 was introduced in 1975 in 9mm (as well as .45 ACP for the U.S. market as the Browning BDA). It uses a modified Browning locking system (using a locking insert rather than lugs on the barrel) and a 9-round mag in 9mm. The P220 was adopted by many forces (Swiss, Japanese, Danish, etc.). Variants include the P220-1, P220 SL (stainless), P220 Sport models, etc. In the 1980s, SIG’s German partner (J.P. Sauer) helped spawn the SIG Sauer brand, and the P220 expanded to other calibers like .45 ACP. The site’s category listing P220 and its variants (P220-1, P220 SL, Sport SL, “X-Zone”) covers those early and special editions. Production continues (the P220 in .45 is still made by SIG Sauer). In short, SIG P220 started in 1975 and, in its various updated forms, remains in production today, making it a 50-year-old design still valued for reliability and accuracy.

• SIG P230 / P232 (1977–2015): These are small blowback-operated pistols for concealed carry. The SIG P230 was designed in 1977 as a .32 ACP or .380 ACP compact for police backup/off-duty use. It has a fixed barrel and 7+1 (.380) capacity, and is very slim. In 1996 it was updated to SIG P232, which featured minor enhancements (angled trigger guard, etc.) and production ran until 2015. Both models were used by some European police (notably the P230 by West German agencies) and by many civilians. They are often compared to Walther PP/PPK for size and function. According to SIG, the P230 was made 1977–1996 and the P232 from 1996–2015. The site lists P230–P232 together (since their grips are interchangeable).

• SIG P239 (1996–2018): A compact single-stack 9mm pistol introduced in 1996 for the U.S. concealed carry and law enforcement market. The P239 was available in 9mm (8+1), .40 S&W and .357 SIG (7+1). It’s a DA/SA pistol with a decocker, essentially a slimmed down SIG P228 for concealment. Many federal agencies authorized it for off-duty. Production continued until around 2018 when SIG cut traditional models in favor of polymer ones. It remains well-regarded for its shooting characteristics, though the capacity is modest.

• SIG P224 (2012–2014): A subcompact double-stack pistol, essentially a shortened SIG P229. The P224 was introduced in 2012 to offer a more concealable SIG Sauer classic series gun. It had a very short grip (holding 10 rounds 9mm, or 8 in .40) and could use P229 magazines as spares. It turned out somewhat bulky for its small height and was discontinued after only a couple of years. In .40 S&W especially, recoil was stout due to the size. Only a relatively small number were made, making it a blip in SIG’s lineup.

• SIG P226 (1984–present): The full-size 15+1 9mm that SIG created for the U.S. XM9 trials in 1984 (ultimately losing to Beretta). The P226 is essentially a double-stack version of the P220, and it became SIG Sauer’s most famous model. It was adopted by numerous military and police forces worldwide (notably the U.S. Navy SEALs as the P226 Mk25). Production continues today in various forms (Mk25, P226R, etc.). Over time, many variants arose: the P226 SL (all-stainless), P226 Sport I & II (target versions with weighted barrels), and modern elite versions. The site lumps many together, including P226 Sport II SL “PPC” – a competition model with a heavy barrel for PPC shooting – and mentions MK25 explicitly (the Navy model with rail and anti-corrosion finish). All these are based on the same frame. P226 has been in production since 1984 and remains one of SIG’s top modelsgungripsusa.com.

• SIG P228 & P229 (1988–present): The P228 (designated M11 in U.S. military) is a more compact version of the P226, with a slightly shorter slide and a 13-round 9mm magazine. Introduced in 1988, the P228 was adopted by the US Army as the M11 for CID and aircrew use. It was produced until the late 1990s when it was largely supplanted by the P229, which is similar externally but built to handle .40 S&W and .357 SIG as well as 9mm (P229 has a milled stainless steel slide vs. the P228’s stamped slide)gungripsusa.com The P229 came out in 1992 (initially in .40, then 9mm), and remains in production. The site grouping “P228 / P229 / M11-A1” covers all these related mid-size SIGs. The M11-A1 is a modern civilian version of the P228 with updated features (night sights, etc.) released by SIG in the 2010s to capitalize on the military name. Production of the P228 (M11) for military contracts continued into the 2000s, while P229 is still ongoing. These pistols have 3.9″ barrels and are easier to carry than P226, while maintaining excellent accuracy.

• SIG “X-Five” & “X-Six” (2005–2012): These refer to competition-grade long-slide versions of the P226 made by SIG’s Mastershop in Germany. The P226 X-Five (5″ barrel) and X-Six (6″ barrel) were introduced in the mid-2000s. They came in variants like X-Five Allround, X-Five Tactical, X-Five Competition, X-Six, etc., often with single-action triggers, special grips, and weighted frames for sport shooting. They were produced until around 2012 (SIG now has a newer “Mastershop” series, but the original X-Five line was discontinued). Also included in the site’s list is P226 X-Five SO (Special Ops?), X-Five AL (Aluminum frame version), and mention of P226 SAO (a single-action-only P226 variant, e.g., the P226 Elite SAO or Legion SAO). Additionally, P226 ZEV was a recent special edition (collaboration with ZEV Technologies) – likely beyond the timeframe of German Mastershop, but the site lists it presumably because the grips are unique. In summary, the X-Five/X-Six pistols (circa 2005–2012) are elite target versions of the P226 known for superb triggers and accuracygungripsusa.com. They cater to competition shooters and collectors, and their extended frames require specific grip designs.

Sig Sauer (Germany/USA) – [Note: The “Sig Sauer” brand covers many models listed above under SIG. To avoid confusion, the entries are combined.]

(The Sig Sauer section on the site overlaps with the SIG section above. The list under “Sig Sauer” includes P220, P224, P226, P228/P229/M11-A1, P230/P232, P239, P938, and the X-Five series – which we have described. The only unique entry not yet detailed is the P938.)

• SIG Sauer P938 (2012–present): A subcompact single-action 9mm pistol modeled after the 1911 style. The P938 is essentially an upscaled version of the earlier SIG P238 (.380). Introduced around 2012, it offers a 6+1 or 7+1 capacity in 9×19mm in a very small package (barrel just over 3”). It has a thumb safety and is intended for concealed carry. The P938 proved quite popular in the civilian market as it combined 9mm power with a pocketable size. It remains in production with various finish options. It is the modern counterpart to guns like the Colt Mustang (but in 9mm). The site shows 17 products under P938, reflecting the variety of custom grips available for this model due to its popularity.

Smith & Wesson (USA)

(Smith & Wesson has a vast array of models. The site’s categories point to specific model numbers or frame types. Below we group them for clarity.)

• S&W Model 39 & 39-2 (1954–1983): The Model 39 was the first American 9mm double-action semi-auto, introduced in 1954 for the Navy trials and released commercially in 1955. It’s a single-stack 8+1 pistol. An improved 39-2 came in 1971 and ran through early 1980s. It was used by some Illinois State Police (one of the first U.S. agencies to adopt a 9mm auto). The Model 39 action led to the later double-stack Model 59. Grips listed as “Mod 39 3 products” correspond to this original slim 9mm.

• S&W Model 59 (1971–1982): S&W’s first high-capacity 9mm, essentially a Model 39 with a staggered 14-round magazine (developed from a Navy request). Introduced in it found favor in some law enforcement units and paved the way for S&W’s extensive line of “Wonder Nines.” It was replaced by the second-generation Model 459 in 1983. The Model 59 had a grip accommodating a double-stack, so its panels differ from the 39.

• S&W 3904/3906 (1988–1991): Third-generation successors to the Model 39. The 3904 (blued alloy frame) and 3906 (stainless frame & slide) were full-size single-stack 9mm pistols with 8-round mags. They were in production briefly around late 80s/early 90s. They are slimmer and lighter than contemporary double-stacks, marketed for those preferring the thinner grip.

• S&W 5904/5906 (1989–1998): Third-gen full-size double-stack 9mms (14–15rd). The 5906 (stainless) and 5904 (blued/aluminum) were very popular police guns in the 1990s. They had ambi safeties and were very durable. Many police trades exist as departments moved to polymer guns later. Grips for these usually encompass the backstrap (they often had one-piece wraparound grips). The site showing “5904-5906 29 products” indicates a variety of grips for this once-common service pistol.

• S&W 6904/6906 (1989–1998): Compact double-stack 9mms. The 6904 (blue) and 6906 (stainless) were basically shorter-barrel (3.5″) and shorter-grip versions of the 59/5900 series, holding 12+1 rounds. They were carried by many detectives as a smaller alternative to the full-size duty gun. The 6906 in particular had a long run and is remembered as a reliable compact. Replaced by 6946/etc. in late ’90s.

• S&W 3913/3914/3913 TSW (1990–2000s): Compact single-stack 9mms, essentially the third-gen version of the Model 39 concept. The 3913 was very popular, especially the “Ladysmith” variant and later 3913 TSW (Tactical Smith & Wesson) with a rail. It has a 3.5″ barrel and 8+1 mag, slim frame. The 3913 TSW (mid/late 90s) had an accessory rail and tighter slide/frame fit. Production ran into early 2000s. The site specifically calls out 3913 TSW, which was one of the more refined models, favored by some law enforcement (e.g. US Secret Service used modified 3913s).

• S&W CS9 & CS45 (1998–2006): The “Chief’s Special” semi-autos – very small third-gen pistols. The CS9 (9mm, 7+1) and CS45 (.45 ACP, 6+1) were introduced around 1998. They have 3″ barrels and a shortened grip. Despite the name callback to the J-frame revolver, they are autos with DA/SA triggers and were meant for concealed/off-duty carry. They were discontinued by mid-2000s. The site lists CS45 12 products and CS9 8 products, indicating custom grips for these compact guns (which have a loyal following for their shootability in a small package).

• S&W Model 952 (2000–2006): A Performance Center 9mm target pistol. The Model 952 was essentially a modern update of the Model 52 (which was a .38 Midrange target pistol). The 952 is a single-action 9mm, with a 5″ barrel, designed for bullseye accuracy. It was made in small batches in the early 2000s. With its checkered wood grips and high price tag, it’s a competition firearm for precise shooting, not duty use. Only a few hundred were likely made.

• S&W Third-Gen .45 & 10mm Series (1988–1999): The site lumps a bunch of models in one category: “4506 & 1006 & 1046 & 1066 & 1086 & 4506 & 4546 & 4563 & 4566 & 4586” (note 4506 is listed twice). These are all steel/aluminum frame autos in .45 ACP (45xx series) and 10mm Auto (10xx series).

  • 4506 (1988–1999): Full-size stainless .45 (5″ barrel, 8-round mag). Famously carried by LAPD in the 1990s. Variants: 4506-1 (minor tweak), 4546 (DAO version), 4566 (4.25″ barrel compact), 4563 (alloy frame compact), 4586 (DAO compact). These .45s were workhorses for police and are extremely durable.

  • 1006 (1990–1993): Full-size 5″ 10mm, 9-round mag. Built to withstand the powerful 10mm cartridge for FBI trials. 1066 was a 4.25″ compact 10mm, 1046 was a rare DAO full-size, 1086 DAO compact. The 10mm series were produced in smaller numbers; after FBI dropped 10mm, S&W pivoted to .40 S&W in the 4006 etc. The 10xx guns (especially 1006) are now valued by 10mm enthusiasts for their strength.
    These models were mostly produced up to the late ’90s when SW shifted to the TSW and then SW99/M&P lines. The fact the site groups all .45 and 10mm third-gens means the grips are likely similar (indeed, the frame dimensions on the double-stack .45 and 10mm are similar for grip panels). These pistols, from the 4506 of 1988 to the 4566 last produced in 1999, represent S&W’s last hurrah of big steel autos before the polymer era.

• S&W Revolver Frames (J, K/L, N, X frames): The site lists categories by frame or grip type for S&W revolvers:

  • J-Frame Round Butt (1950–present): The small 5-shot revolvers like Chiefs Special (Model 36) introduced in 1950. Round-butt J frames became common by the 1980s for concealment. This category covers models 36, 60, 637, 442, etc., which all share similar grip frame dimensions. Over 70+ years of J-frame production, grips are widely interchangeable (except the newest “J-Frame XL” on Model 340/etc.). The site’s “10 products” likely indicates different style grips for the ubiquitous J-frame snubby.

  • K/L-Frame Square Butt (1899–1995): Medium frame revolvers like the Model 10 Military & Police (from 1899) and later Model 19, 66, etc. Originally all had square butt grip frames. In 1995 S&W stopped making square butts, going round-butt on all frames. So this category is for classic older revolvers: e.g. Model 10, 15, 19, 66 (K frame .38/.357) with square grips, and L-frame (586, 686 .357s) made pre-1995 with square butts. These revolvers were produced throughout the 20th century and were mainstays for police. The square butt grips fill the hand more; many target grips exist.

  • K/L/X-Frame Round Butt (1980s–present): This grouping is interesting – S&W’s round butt K/L frames (post-1995, virtually all K/L are round) and the X-Frame (the massive .500 S&W frame) actually use a similar grip peg. S&W in the late ’90s standardized grip dimensions somewhat. Indeed, modern K, L, and X frames can share grips if using the newer style (small peg frame with enclosed backstrap in the grip). The site listing 135 products indicates a huge variety, covering revolvers like modern Model 686 Plus, 629 (which is N frame, see below, likely not included here though), and the .500 Magnum X-frames. Likely the X-Frame (2003–present) uses the same grips as the round-butt K/L with exposed backstrap (many aftermarket grips for .500 also fit GP100 etc. – manufacturers often cross-list). So, this category covers, for example, a modern 686 or 617 (L-frame .22) and the giant 500 S&W Magnum revolvers which all have the round butt grip peg. The production years vary (K/L frames from 1980s on in round form, X-frame from 2003), but essentially it’s current production S&W revolvers except the N-Frame.

  • N-Frame Round Butt (1908–present, RB from ~1990s): The N-Frame is S&W’s large frame for calibers like .44 Magnum (Model 29/629), .45 ACP (Model 25), .357 (the 27/28) etc. The round-butt N frames became common in the late 1980s onward for carry-able big guns (the Mountain Gun variants). This category addresses grips for, say, a Model 629 .44 or 625 .45 with a round butt grip frame. N-frames date back to 1908’s .44 Hand Ejector, but older ones were square butt – however grips often can fit either by covering the backstrap differently. The site showing 87 products suggests many grip options for the popular big revolvers (including current 629s, 627s, etc.). These revolvers are active in production (ex: Model 29/629 still made) and beloved by shooters and collectors.

Star (Spain)

• Star Model F (1928–1983): A .22 LR target pistol produced by Star Bonifacio Echeverría. The Model F was introduced in 1928 and later updated; it is a compact pistol often with a longer barrel and was used for training and competition. It has a 10-round .22 magazine. Star produced these (including variations like Model FR, Model F Target) up to the 1980s. It’s known for a fixed barrel and mild recoil, and some Spanish police even used them as training pistols. The site calls it “Bonifacio Model F .22,” highlighting Star’s factory name.

• Star Model B (1928–1983): A 9×19mm single-action pistol that externally resembles a 1911 without grip safety. The Model B started production in the late 1920s and was a main Star service pistol; it went through modifications (Model B, Super B, etc.). Notably, Star Model B’s were used by some German units in WWII. The Star Super B (improved version with loaded indicator and pivoting link, 1946) was made until about 1983. These are 8+1 steel frame guns that were alternatives to Llama 1911s. The site listing suggests “Star Model B 4 products” for grips. Star Model B and Super B have slightly different grip sizes, but likely the offering covers both. These pistols are all out of production, as Star closed in 1997.

• Star Model BM (1972–1992): A compact 9mm pistol (shorter than Model B) with 8-round mag, made for police and export. The Star BM is basically a compact version of the Super B, with a 3.77″ barrel. It was adopted by Spanish police in the 1970s. Production ended by early 1990s. Recently many surplus Star BMs hit the U.S. market, renewing interest in them. They are valued for their all-steel construction and good trigger. The site mentions “Süper Star BM” – presumably meaning Super BM, but there was no official “Super” BM; possibly a typo or they mean “Super B and BM.” Regardless, the BM uses its own slightly shorter grip panels. This pistol’s popularity as surplus might be why it appears.

• Star “Super” A / Super Model (1946–1983): While not explicitly listed by name, Star had other letter models (A = 9mm Largo, which was used by Spanish Army). The site specifically lists F, B, and “SUPER B”, BM. The Star Super A in 9mm Largo (longer cartridge) also was in service ’40s-’50s. It’s possible some grips are shared among the Super series. The use of “SUPER B 7 products” suggests grips for the Super B (9mm Parabellum, with the loaded chamber indicator and magazine safety).

In essence, Star pistols on the site focus on their service autos of mid-20th century: the .22 Model F, the 9mm Model B/Super B, and the compact BM, all of which follow Browning-type designs and saw service use in Spain or abroad.

Stechkin (USSR)

• Stechkin APS (1951–1958): A select-fire machine pistol developed by Igor Stechkin. The APS is chambered for 9x18mm Makarov and has a 20-round magazine, with an attachable shoulder stock holster. It was intended as a personal defense weapon for officers, tank crews, etc., adopted in 1951 alongside the Makarov pistol. However, it proved somewhat unwieldy and was mostly withdrawn from front-line service by the end of the 1950s. Around approximately 3,000 were made in the 1950s. In the 1970s, some were reissued with integral suppressors as the APB for Spetsnaz. The site listing “Steckin APS 1 product” is clearly referring to this Stechkin machine pistol (they spelled it with a ‘k’ – Steckin). Grips for the APS are a one-piece Bakelite wraparound, so presumably they offer a replacement set. The APS remains a fascinating Cold War firearm. It’s rare, but some are still seen in conflicts (it saw limited use in Afghanistan and more recently in Ukraine by militia). For historical completeness: Produced 1951–1958, it was an early attempt at a stock-holster pistol (like a souped-up C96 Mauser concept) in the Soviet arsenal.

Taurus (Brazil)

• Taurus PT92/99 (1983–present): After Beretta set up a factory in Brazil in the 1970s, Taurus acquired it in 1980 and continued producing the Beretta 92 design under their name. The PT92 (fixed slide-mounted safety in early ones, later frame-mounted safety) is Taurus’s 9mm service pistol, and the PT99 is the same with adjustable sights. Introduced in 1983, the PT92 has been continuously produced since. Over the years Taurus made minor design tweaks (e.g., moving the safety to frame which allows cocked-and-locked carry). They also made .40 S&W versions (PT100/101). These pistols are widely used in Brazil by police and military (the Brazilian Army adopted it as M975), and internationally as a popular civilian handgun. The site references PT92, PT99, PT100, PT101 collectively – they share the same frame size, just calibers and sight options differ. All are double-action, 15 (or 17) shot in 9mm, 11 in .40, and known for good value. Production is ongoing, now with rails and updated ergonomics in latest variants.
  (Since Taurus has many models, it appears only the PT92 family is represented on the site. Possibly because those use 1911-sized grip panels or are common enough to justify custom grips.)

Tisaş (Turkey)

• Tisaş Kanuni 16 (1990s): A Turkish 9mm pistol named after Sultan Suleiman “Kanuni” (the Lawgiver). The Kanuni 16 was a service-size 9×19 DA/SA pistol that somewhat resembles the Browning Hi-Power in profile but with a double-action trigger. It was one of Tisaş’s early forays (Tisaş is known for Zigana pistols nowadays). Likely introduced in the 1990s for domestic police use. It’s not widely known internationally, but a few were imported under names like “Firebird” in some countries (not to be confused with the FEG Firebird). Production was probably limited; it may have been Turkey’s service pistol before the adoption of the Yavuz 16 (licensed Beretta by Sarsılmaz) and later the SAR 9. The site listing “Kanuni 16” indicates grips for this obscure model.

• Tisaş Zigana T (2003–present): The Zigana series are 9mm pistols by Tisaş. The Zigana T is a full-size model introduced in the early 2000s. It’s a DA/SA with a 15-round mag, featuring a Browning-style tilt barrel and typically a frame-mounted safety that can decock (in later versions). The Zigana models were adopted by some Turkish police units and exported. They are known to be reliable and cost-effective. The Zigana T specifically has a distinctive large trigger guard and was one of Tisaş’s first widely marketed pistols. It’s still in production (with cosmetic updates) and Tisaş has expanded the Zigana line (K, M16, F models, etc.).

• Tisaş ZİG 14 (2010s): This one is a bit of a mystery. “ZİG” likely refers to Zigana, and 14 could be a model number or year. Tisaş had a “Zigana Sport” around 2014, and also a Zigana PX-9 (a separate polymer design in 9mm introduced later). Possibly “ZİG 14” means a particular model variant or a contract model. It might even refer to the “Fatih 13”, a compact .380 they made (though 13 vs 14?). Since the site lists it distinctly, maybe Tisaş had a model named Zigana 14 or Zig M14, but that’s not well-documented. It could be an alias for the Yavuz 14, which is a variant of the Beretta 92FS made by Girsan (less likely, different company). There was a Zigana “K” compact and “C” compact, etc. Perhaps the intention was Zigana K (which could look like Zig “|<” misread as 14). If it is Zigana K: that’s a compact 120mm barrel version with 13-rd mag. In absence of clarity, we treat ZİG 14 as another Tisaş model akin to the Kanuni or Zigana line (likely late 1990s or 2000s). It might share grip frame size with another model. (The site had exactly 1 product for Zig 14 and 1 for Kanuni 16, so possibly lower-demand items.)

Tisaş is a newer player (founded 1993) and their model numbering isn’t widely known. They gained more global notice with the PX-9 (Sig-like striker pistol) and 1911 clones recently. However, the models listed above were part of Turkey’s domestic pistol development in the 90s/00s.

The description from the site’s text snippet: “TİSAŞ Gun Grips offer enhanced comfort… Tailored for models like the Zigana and PX-9”gungripsusa.com indicates Tisaş’s main models are Zigana series and the PX-9 (a polymer striker pistol introduced 2017 based on Springfield XD). Interestingly, PX-9 wasn’t explicitly listed as a category, but it’s mentioned in text. Possibly the Zigana T grips also fit the PX-9 or they intend to include it in future.

Tokarev (USSR/China/Yugoslavia)

• Tokarev TT-30/33 (1930–1950s): The standard Soviet military pistol before the Makarov. Designed by Fedor Tokarev, the TT-30 (prototype in 1930) evolved to the TT-33 which was mass-produced from 1934 onward. It’s a single-action pistol in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, an 8+1 capacity, based partly on John Browning’s 1903 design (uses Browning short recoil, but with a unique removable hammer sear assembly). The TT-33 served through WWII and beyond. Soviet production ceased around 1952 when replaced by Makarov, but it was made under license in many countries: China (Type 51, Type 54), Poland (PW wz.33), Romania, etc., often into the 1960s. The site lumps “M57/TT-30” and “TT-33” separately:

  • TT-33 proper: in Soviet service 1930s–50s, and widely exported. It has no manual safety (most imports added one). It’s known for robustness and the high velocity of the cartridge (same round as the PPSH SMG).

  • Zastava M57 (1957–1992): a Yugoslav version of the Tokarev, lengthened grip for 9-round magazine. Made by Zastava from 1957 through the 1960s (and modern civilian runs in recent years). The M57 was basically the Yugoslav Army pistol for decades. The site references M57 under Tokarev (perhaps why “M57/TT-30” is one category – although TT-30 was the early Soviet variant, maybe they mean M57 as a variant of TT). In any case, M57 and TT-33 have slightly different grip dimensions due to the mag size difference, but many aftermarket grips account for that.

  • The Tokarev design was also revived by Pakistan (as POF “TT-P”) and is still made in China for commercial/export as the Norinco 54-1.

  In summary, the Tokarev TT pistol, in all its national versions, was produced roughly from 1933 to 1960s in the Communist bloc. It’s a historic firearm with many still in circulation. The site likely provides custom wood or synthetic grips to replace the plain original grips (which were often Bakelite or plastic). It’s worth noting these pistols have a nearly cult following for their durability and the powerful bottleneck cartridge.

Unique (France)

• Unique Rr 51 (1951–1967): A French police pistol made by MAPF (Manufacture d’Armes des Pyrénées Françaises, brand name “Unique”). The Rr 51 was adopted by French police in 1951. It’s a compact .32 ACP blowback, 9-round magazine, with a traditional DA/SA mechanism (very similar to the pre-war Unique Model 17 which itself was based on Browning 1910). About 102,000 were produced for French authorities. It served into the 1970s when replaced by more modern pistols. It’s sometimes called the “Unique Model 51 or Rr 51.” The site calls it RR 51 (Kapalı Fransız Onlusu) – likely “Closed French Ten,” possibly slang (perhaps referring to the closed slide? or an inside joke translation of something). The production run was 1951–1967 with approx half a million made (including its .22 variant)berettaweb.com.

• Unique BCF-66 (1966–1970s): A later French police pistol by Unique. The Modele BCF-66 was introduced in 1966 for French police trials. It was offered in .32 ACP and .380 ACP. The design looks like a hybrid of Walther PP and some Star elements. It has a single-stack mag (9mm Short version holds 7+1). It was produced only in limited quantities (some sources say a few thousand) in late 1960s. The “BCF” stood for something like “Brevets Creissels – Francotte” (a patent reference) and 66 for the year. It did see some use in French municipal police. Essentially, the BCF-66 was Unique’s last new pistol design. It was made until maybe the mid-1970s and Unique factory closed by late 1970s. The site lists BCF 66 (Açık Fransız Onlusu) – meaning “Open French Ten,” possibly distinguishing an “open” slide or different style compared to RR51. Indeed, BCF-66 slide has more exposed barrel (like a Beretta 1934 style open top). Regardless, these two categories cover Unique’s main police pistols of the 50s and 60s.

(“Onlusu” might be Turkish for “the one with ten,” maybe referencing 10-shot, though Rr51 is 9-shot. Possibly a literal translation mishap for something.)

Unique also made .22 versions (the Unique LR 66 etc.), but those likely share grip frames. The site categories suggest one for the Rr51 and one for the BCF-66. These pistols are niche, but evidently available enough to warrant grip upgrades (perhaps surplus from French police armories have hit the market in Turkey or elsewhere).

Walther (Germany)

• Walther P38 (1940–1945, P1 until 2000): The famed 9mm military pistol that replaced the Luger in WWII. The P.38 has a DA/SA trigger and 8-round mag, introduced in 1938 (full production by 1940). Wartime P38s were made by Walther, Mauser, and Spreewerk through 1945. After WWII, Walther (in West Germany) resumed production as the P1 (an updated P38 with alloy frame) for the new Bundeswehr, from 1957 up to 2000. Many P1s were made (over 1** million by some counts). The P38/P1 served the German Army into the 1990s. The site likely covers grips for the wartime P38 (which also fit P1). Given they list “P38 7 products,” these could be reproduction or oversized grips to improve on the originals. The Walther P38 is a piece of history and a very recognizable pistol.

• Walther PP (1929–1999): The Polizeipistole in .32 ACP (and .380). Introduced in 1929, it was the first successful DA auto pistol. It became widely used by European police and military (including as WWII German officer sidearms). The PP has a 3.9″ barrel and 8-round mag in .32. Production by Walther in Germany ceased with WWII; postwar, Manurhin in France made them under license until Walther in Ulm took over again in the 1980s. The PP was made in various versions until at least the late 1990s (Walther’s last German PP .32s). Many clones exist.

  • Walther PPK (1931–present): The smaller PPK (Kurzkurz, or “short police pistol”) came in 1931 as a 7+1 .32 ACP with a 3.3″ barrel. Famous as James Bond’s gun. After 1968 (GCA in US), Walther created the PPK/S (PPK slide on PP frame) to meet import requirements. Production of PPK continued in France (Manurhin) and later in the US (Interarms licensed versions, then S&W made some, now Walther US). The site specifically lists “PP GERMANY” and “PPK USA/GERMANY” separately:

    • PP (Germany) – grips likely for original German or Manurhin Walther PP in .32/.380. (They may also fit the very similar Manurhin PP.)

    • PPK USA/Germany – Walther PPK grips, possibly noting that modern American-made PPKs have slight differences (S&W PPK has a longer tang). But generally, PPK grips are interchangeable between wartime, Manurhin, and US production. The distinction might be just labeling, or maybe one is actually PPK/S. However, PPK/S grips are same shape as PPK (just frame of PP but grip panels cover only handle, not frame since it’s one piece frame).

    • So likely: one category for PP, one category for PPK/PPK/S. The PP was from 1929 up to 1980s in Europe, the PPK from 1931 up to current (Walther just reintroduced the PPK/S in .22 recently). They remain iconic concealed carry pistols.

• Walther P88 Compact (1992–1996): The P88 was Walther’s late-80s wondernine (15-shot, aluminum frame, ambi everything). It was introduced in 1988 but was very expensive. In 1992 Walther released the P88 Compact, a shortened slide version with 13-round magazine, hoping to attract police buyers. The P88 Compact had a 4″ barrel and improved ergonomics. It still didn’t sell great due to cost, and by 1996 the P99 polymer pistol replaced it. But the P88 Compact is regarded as one of Walther’s best-built guns (very accurate and reliable). Its production run was short. The site listing P88 Compact 5 products indicates custom grips for this rare pistol – possibly to address its somewhat blocky factory grips. The P88 Compact is now a collectible (and was notably one of the last Walther pistols to have a traditional DA/SA with frame safety; subsequent designs went to striker or decocker-only).

• Walther TPH (1968–1999): The TPH is a very small .22 LR or .25 ACP pocket pistol introduced in 1968 as the heir to the PPK in the pocket category. It’s a DAO (actually DA/SA) miniature Walther PP-style pistol. Germany produced it briefly, but most were made by Interarms in the US (in .22) after 1987 due to import restrictions on .25. The TPH is known to be finicky in .22 but quite well made. It holds 6+1 and has a 2.8″ barrel. Production stopped in 1999. The site’s “TPH 22LR 4 products” confirms it’s providing grips likely for the .22 version (grip frame should be identical for .25). The TPH served niche roles (deep concealment, backup).

• Walther “German 7.65mm 1911” (Webley & Scott 1911) – see next section. (Walther listing seems complete with PP, PPK, P38, P88C, TPH.)

Webley & Scott (UK)

• Webley & Scott Model 1911 (.32 ACP, 1911–1930s): Webley & Scott of England produced a .32 self-loading pistol for police and civilian use beginning in 1910/1911. It’s often referred to as the Webley .32 Automatic Pistol or Model 1910/1912. The site labels it “1911 (7.65mm)”, which likely corresponds to this Webley .32 auto. These pistols have an 8-round magazine and a very low bore axis, with a unique hinged frame design. They were used by some colonial police and civilian users but did not see huge sales compared to continental .32s. Production continued in small numbers into the 1920s. They are relatively rare today. The Webley auto did have a brief .25 ACP version (Model 1908) and a .380 version (very few made). The one in question is the .32 which Webley made a couple thousand of. The site’s offering of grips suggests there is interest in restoring these vintage pistols. The production years roughly 1911–1932 (Webley stopped making autos around then).

• Webley & Scott Mk IV .38 revolver (No listing, but mention for context): Webley’s more famous handguns are their revolvers (Mark IV .38 during WWII etc.), but the site specifically put Webley & Scott under Brands likely for the .32 auto pistol, as revolver grips would be separate category usually (and Webley revolvers are less common outside collector circles).

The label “Webley & Scott 2 products” under that brand likely alludes to two grip options for the .32 Auto (perhaps one wood, one synthetic).

Zastava (Yugoslavia/Serbia)

• Zastava CZ-99 / EZ-9 (1989–present): A Yugoslav/Serbian service pistol inspired by the SIG P226. The CZ-99 (not to be confused with Czech CZ) was developed in 1989 to replace the M57 Tokarev. It’s a DA/SA 9mm with 15-round capacity, featuring ambidextrous controls and often a SIG-like decocker that also serves as slide release. It was adopted as the standard sidearm of Yugoslav forces in the 1990s. After Yugoslavia dissolved, Zastava continued production as the EZ-9 / EZ-40 (for export, “EZ” presumably meaning “Export Zastava” or similar), and also known as Zastava M99. The site lists EZ9/E40 6 products – meaning grips for the Zastava CZ-99 family, which includes the 9mm (CZ-99/EZ-9) and the .40 S&W variant (CZ-99 in .40 was sometimes called CZ-99 .40 or later CZ-05, and eventually marketed as EZ-40). These pistols are still in limited production and use; known for being reliable and solid (but somewhat bulky), they have seen service in Serbia and surrounding regions.

  • Note: The “CZ” in CZ-99 stands for “Crvena Zastava”, not Česká Zbrojovka, hence the confusion. To avoid trademark issues, later imports to the U.S. were named “Charles Daly ZDA” or simply EZ-9.

  • The pistol has continued in updated forms (the CZ-999 with selectable decocker/manual safety, the compact CZ-07, etc.). The EZ-9 sold in the 2000s was basically the same frame.
    So, effectively the Zastava EZ9/EZ40 grips would cover all Zastava SIG-like pistols from the original introduction to current. The timeframe: first produced 1989 (prototypes), in service by early 90s, and still made today in modernized form.

Finally, it’s worth noting that some Brands not elaborated above (like Spohr, Korth, etc.) either had no products or overlap with covered items. For instance:

• Spohr (Germany): A very small German maker of high-end revolvers (Spohr revolvers in .357, etc.). The site had a Spohr brand listed but likely no products (since none appeared in categories or count). Spohr started around 2010s making modern revolvers in Germany (very niche, with Karl Nill grips etc.). Possibly placeholder.

• Girsan, Sarsılmaz beyond SAR, etc.: The site brand list had some duplicates (Sig vs Sig Sauer, possibly an oversight) and some Turkish brands might be listed under model categories (Canik was separate, Girsan not explicitly listed but their products might appear under “Yavuz” or such if at all). Possibly “Turkey Parabellum” was meant to include Girsan’s Yavuz 16 (Beretta 92 copy) or others, but that’s speculative. However, based on what was on the site and above, we’ve covered the explicitly mentioned models.

Each entry above provides a capsule of the firearm model and its years of production (if known), drawing on historical and manufacturer data to give context to the grips offered on Gun Grips USA. This list demonstrates the breadth of handgun types supported – from early 20th-century classics to contemporary service pistols – reflecting the diverse needs of collectors, sport shooters, and gun owners who seek custom grips for improved performance or aesthetics.

Sources: Historical production data and model descriptions have been referenced from manufacturer archives and reputable firearms history sources, for example: the Colt 1902 (produced 1902–1928), Colt 1903 (1903–1945), Colt M1911 (U.S. service 1911–1986), Colt King Cobra (original run 1986–1992, 1994–1998), Colt Python (1955–2005), SIG P210 (service from 1949, made until 2006), Sig P230/P232 (1977–2015), Makarov PM (1951–1991 Soviet service), Browning Hi-Power (1935–2018), and Walther PP/PPK (introduced 1929 and 1931 respectively), among others. These ensure accuracy in the production years and general history provided.
