Grayguns

What Grayguns does

Grayguns, Inc. is a privately held, Reedsport, Oregon-based manufacturer and gunsmithing service provider specializing in aftermarket parts and action tuning for SIG Sauer and Heckler & Koch pistols. Founded in 2007 by master gunsmith Bruce Gray, the company designs and produces precision trigger systems (including the Enhanced Leverage System and Short Reset Trigger kits), adjustable triggers for P320 and P365 platforms, custom laser-sculpted grip modules (including tungsten-infused variants), match-grade bull barrels, and custom-machined slides such as the Modern Classic and Lockwood lines. The product portfolio also extends to magazine base pads, sights, holsters, spring kits, apparel, and a SIG Sauer armorer training DVD.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce through grayguns.com with a curated authorized dealer network of 52 US dealers plus 6 international dealers across Canada, Norway, Germany, Denmark/Sweden, Trinidad & Tobago, and Costa Rica, with Gibraltar Arms serving as an export partner. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: one-time parts sales (price points ranging from $40 triggers to $1,100 custom slides), professional gunsmithing services (action work, trigger installation, and custom slide fabrication performed on customer-shipped firearms, with wait times of 6-8 weeks queue plus 3-8 weeks in shop), and the sale of complete custom firearms such as the P226 Elite DLC and P320 AXG Carry.

The customer base consists primarily of competitive shooters (USPSA, IDPA, IPSC), concealed carry permit holders, firearms collectors, and law enforcement/military personnel, with brand credibility reinforced by validation from Wilson Combat (which uses Grayguns triggers in its SIG collaborations) and champion shooter endorsements including Mason Lane's 2025 IPSC World Championship win. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external funding or institutional investment, and operates with 1-10 employees, with Bruce Gray personally involved in design, customer consultation, and selected gunsmithing work.

Direct peers

• Dawson Precision: Dawson Precision specializes in high-end aftermarket triggers, sights, and slide work for 1911, 2011, and Glock pistols, serving the same competition-shooting customer base with similar premium machined parts.

• Suarez International: Suarez International offers aftermarket gunsmithing services, sights, and parts for 1911, Glock, Beretta, and SIG pistols targeted at professional and competition shooters, mirroring Grayguns' gunsmithing-plus-parts model.

Broad incumbents
