The installation of the Grip Control can be extraordinarily easy to just easy.  There is a 1-5 rating system for the installation of various models. 

• Install Rating-1 . . . .  Takes 10-15 sec, no tools i.e. Sig Sauer P320

• Install Rating-2 . . . .  Takes 30 sec, may require an aid (pencil, paper clip, pin) – i.e. Glocks

• Install Rating-3 . . . .  Takes 1-2 min, requires an aid – i.e. M&P 2.0

• Install Rating-4 . . . .  Takes 5 min, requires higher level of dexterity  i.e. Sig Sauer P365

No, the original slide stop is removed and the Grip Control is installed in its place. The installation is very quick and easy and the Grip Control can be removed just as easily.

Many of the kits require nothing at all, while some require a paper clip, a pen, or a small screwdriver. Some kits include a small assembly aid. No special tools are required.

Anything can break, but we have not seen one break yet. That’s not to say it is not possible. It would be very unlikely for a failure under normal or even normal x 10, but still, anything can happen.

Very strong considering how small and simple the device is. In tests, 180 lbs of force was applied to the pad of the Grip Control without failing. Most folks can only exert 10-20 lbs of force on the pad with their thumb.

The Grip Control is made from a super alloy called Aetheriumite®.  It is a proprietary development of BlackSteel in which certain elements and processes are combined to yield an alloy that offers high yield/tensile strength, extraordinary toughness, and exceptional resistance to wear, fatigue, and deformation. It will not react or gall with other metals.  Derivatives of this alloy are widely used in chemical, marine, aircraft, and machine tools as gears, bushings and bearings, pumps, and valves.

Every Grip Control comes with a lifetime warranty.

The Grip Control replaces the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) slide lock and allows you to place your support-hand thumb on the folding pad. It allows for a much stronger grip to resist the recoil and maintain a higher level of gun control.

It changes nothing at all.

Good question, it does not change how the gun performance, but it will change how you perform.

No, not at this time. Our Grip Controls are Balck. We may be adding colors in the future.

There are currently over 100 models available across 12 manufacturers. There will be a second round of releases later this year.

The Grip Control was designed specifically to be used with a carry type holster. HOWEVER, it is an aftermarket add-on and doesn’t just magically appear on the gun. It protrudes slightly off the gun (usually ¼”-5/16”).  Some holsters can accommodate the GC with no adjustments, but many won’t. Of those holsters that need adjustment, 90% of them can be adjusted in a minute or two with a hairdryer. In the case of a heavier, thicker plastic holster, more heat and even a Dremel is required.  So please consider this before you purchase.

There are 3 sizes for the Grip Control, Sizes #1, #2 and #3. See the sizing information.

Yes, but it depends on the Manufacturer/Model.  Roughly 25%-ish of the available models will have a left option.  All Glocks, some Walthers, CZ, S&W and Taurus models.  See the model list

It has a Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a ceramic durable finish that is widely used in the firearm industry.

Well if you are using the grip your granddaddy taught you (with all due respect) then most likely yes.  You’ll want a convert to a thumb forward grip, the way all modern day instructors teach.  NO TEA CUP grip! Forward Grip.
