Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments of moldable hand grips for firearms. According to various embodiments, a hand grip can include a non-moldable frame and a heat-moldable grip portion disposed on the frame. The hand grip can be submerged at least partially in a water bath heated to a temperature between about 150° F. to about 212° F., resulting in the heat-moldable grip portion of the hand grip transitioning to a moldable state. After the heat-moldable grip portion of the hand grip transitions to the moldable state, the hand grip can be removed from the water bath, and the user can grab the hand grip to mold the heat-moldable grip portion to conform to his or her individual hand shape. The heat-moldable grip portion can then cool and return to a non-moldable state, resulting in a hand grip that conforms to the individual user's hand shape.
