Old World craftsmanship in modern designs.  The exotic woods of the world, brought to you in style! 

GRIPS THAT ACTUALLY FIT YOUR WEAPON.  WHO KNEW IT WAS SUCH A NOVEL IDEA?  SHOOTERS HAVE HAD TO "SETTLE" FOR WHAT WAS AVAILABLE FOR TOO LONG.  WELCOME TO SARGE'S GRIPS WHERE FIT IS RIGHT AND CARRY IS COMFORTABLE! 

Please read the return policy outlined below the "What's on the horizon" section.

Browning Hi-Power grips are coming soon!   The 1911 grips are keeping me running, so time is scarce, but I will get these done in the near future.  Thanks for your patience.  Hang in there!

New grips to the site category is up!  I plan on putting the new listings in there as I add them, and then rotating them out into the general site after a week or so.  This should help those regulars who stop by to peruse the new sets on a daily basis, and keep them from having to look through everything every time.  


What's on the horizon? (19NOV09)

Yet another three wonderful sets added tonight.  The beauty just keeps on rolling in!  Another 30+ sets in the shop being worked on right now!  I've got some new and very unusual stuff coming back from the stabilizer this week (hopefully) that I was blown away by when I got it.  Man, do I have a great hobby or what?  I'm surrounded by beauty and constantly finding new and gorgeous woods to use.  Always a steady stream of beautiful woods flowing through the shop, so keep your eyes open and snag the right set for you when you see them!  Great things in the works around here.  Some very unique woods coming in to the shop, and the prospect of making this a full time job is looming ever larger (and closer).  Once the change is made, whenever that is, hopefully I'll have the time I want to expand the grip lines to the other models that I want to do.  I get about 40 emails a day from customers with questions, orders etc, but a fair number of them are from people lamenting the fact that they saw a particular set that they liked, but wanted to see what was in the next batch coming, and in the mean time, the set they liked was snatched up.  I urge you to snag a set that catches your eye while it is there and available!  Some of the sets that appear come from a block, and I may be able to fab another set that is is very similar, but some are from one of a kind pieces and once they're gone, that's it.  Don't be the next one sending me an email asking if that "gorgeous set that I liked" is repeatable.  I hate giving people bad news. ;)  Thanks!
The dream of doing this full time is inching closer and closer.  Hopefully, I'll make the transition from hobby to full time with this at some point this year and have time to do the things I want to get done in the grip department.  Be sure to check out the options category if you're interested in things like ambi safety cuts, adding stippling etc.  Don't forget to check out Sarge's Special Forces - In this category you will find the creme de la creme of all on the site.  If a particular piece of wood goes above and beyond and really sticks out for some reason, it will be found here.  Mammoth tooth grips, special projects etc - if you're interested in these type things, this category will be the first stop for you.  I will fill it in with items as they get done. 
Thank you all for your business.  I appreciate the fact that there are choices out there in grips, and the fact that you come here means much to me.  I will continue to work to earn your business, trust and friendship.    
Always new and cool stuff in the shop and coming to the site!  Beauty abounds, and every set just gets better and better.  Thanks for being here, and enjoy the pics and the beauty of it all!  Remember that the grip price shown includes domestic priority shipping, and the pics shown are the ACTUAL set of grips you're buying. 
Keep those emails coming with suggestions, ideas and comments!  (elitewood@hotmail.com, or through the "contact us" part of the store).  Thank you for your business, I truly appreciate it!

REMEMBER:  If you don't see what you want, just ask.  About 75% of what I do is special order anyway.  

RETURN POLICY - I like my customers to be happy with what I do and will try to ensure that you are happy at every turn.  If something needs to be returned, here are the guidelines:
Manufacturing problem - Return for full refund or store credit, your choice.  This does NOT mean you can return grips after 4 months because you ran over them with your car.  ;)  This means you can return your grips if there is indeed a problem with the way they were made, or if they don't fit etc.  After 10 days in your possession, all sales are considered final.
Custom orders - Custom orders may be returned for store credit in the amount of 50% of the original quoted price minus any prior shipping charges.  This will apply IF the grips can be used or sold in the future.  If they are for an obscure weapon or are one of a kind with very limited sales potential, then I will handle that on a case by case basis.  Of course if what I send you is not what you ordered, then a full refund will be issued.  This mainly applies to people who just change their minds for some reason. 
Standard site products - Return of standard "on site" products will qualify for store credit minus 25% of the purchase price unless prior arrangements for something else are made between the customer and myself.  Of course, returns will need to be in unused condition and will be inspected for that upon arrival back to me.  Any planned refund my be partially or fully forfeited if the grips are returned damaged or showing signs of use.
People who have purchased from me know that I am a common sense type of guy and want them to be happy long term.  I have found however that I need to have a policy in place to deal with a very few people who use the site as a form of a "grip of the week club".  I apologize for any inconvenience that this presents.  Bottom line is, if you have a problem with a set of grips that I made, contact me first and we'll get the problem resolved.   
 
The best price on the net for the best .45 grips on the net.  Period.  Tell your friends about what you find here, and again, don't be shy about special orders.  Prices shown for grip sets INCLUDE shipping, so the price you see is what you pay.  I dislike stores that charge me exorbitant $$$for shipping and handling on the backside of a transaction, so I don't do it to you.  If there is shipping (this applies to the few boxes shown) how much the shipping will add will be plainly stated in the description.  Thanks for being here, I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the beauty of what's in the store today.

I'm getting in new woods all the time, but have to be patient and let them dry properly before putting my anxious paws on them.  Thanks for being here!  Always new stuff being added, so visit back often!


Another question answered:  The pictures of the grips and the description are for THAT UNIQUE set of grips - the set you see in the picture is the actual set that will end up in your cart when you buy them.  There are multiples for some woods, but they all have their own pics and descriptions.  I figured this way you can pick the exact set you like and buy with confidence.  Shipping is included in the grip prices shown.  

Please take some time to remember our troops who are doing the job they have sworn to do regardless of political stance.  They deserve so much more, but ask for nothing else.  We should all be truly thankful for their sacrifices. 

Thanks for coming to the site!  I appreciate all of my customers and have gotten to know a few of them to boot.  I'm glad you're here!
