Pearce Grip

What Pearce Grip does

Pearce Grip, Inc. is a Fort Worth, Texas-based manufacturer of firearm accessories founded in 1994 and operating as a privately held corporation. The company designs and produces grip extensions, magazine base plate replacements, plus-one and plus-two magazine capacity extensions, frame inserts, and magazine followers engineered to fit specific makes, generations, and models of pistols and AR-15 platforms. Its product portfolio spans over 60 SKUs covering GLOCK (Gen 3, 4/5, Gen 6), Smith & Wesson (M&P SHIELD family, BODYGUARD 2.0, M2.0, Shield EZ), SIG SAUER (P365, P365X/XL, P365 12-round), Springfield Armory (Hellcat, Hellcat Pro), Colt (1911 series), Beretta, Taurus, Kahr, Kimber, Bersa, KelTec, Ruger, and AR-15 platforms, with each product designed as a model-specific replacement part rather than a universal fit.

The company's core technology is high-impact polymer injection molding combined with engineering for environmental durability, with products drop-tested across a temperature range of -20°F to 250°F (some products rated to 350°F). Several flagship products incorporate the patented PearceLock attachment mechanism (US Patent 10,996,010 B2), which secures the extension body to the magazine without modification to factory components. Grip extensions add approximately 1/2" to 1" of additional gripping surface and blend with factory frame texture patterns to preserve OEM appearance. Products are manufactured in the USA.

Pearce Grip operates as an exclusively direct-to-consumer e-commerce business through a Shopify-powered storefront, with no apparent third-party retail or wholesale distribution. Revenue is generated through unit-priced one-time purchases (typically $5.95-$32.20 per SKU), with orders processed within one business day and shipped via standard or priority domestic US shipping. The company reaches customers through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram), email newsletter marketing, content marketing through installation videos, and a company news blog. Customer service is handled via phone and email. The target customer base consists of individual firearm owners seeking improved ergonomics and concealment on compact and subcompact pistols.
