Hamre Forge

Hamre Forge Inc manufactures custom firearm grips and tactical accessories from their family-run operation in Maine. Founded on the principle of solving real-world problems, they've built a reputation for innovative revolver grips that work—not just look good.

Their signature Hamre Hook design has become the defining feature across their revolver grip lineup. This fighting grip option provides tactical advantage on concealed carry revolvers, and it's designed specifically to work with cylinder release mechanisms on common models.

In January 2025, Hamre Forge landed their first OEM deal: Lipsey's Exclusive "Ultimate Carry" J-Frame revolver ships with Hamre Forge American Fighting Revolver UC grips standard. This partnership reflects the company's credibility within the professional firearms community.

Hamre Forge switched to SLS technology to deliver strong, affordable products without the limitations of traditional manufacturing. Here's what matters:

Material Options: - PA-12 (primary material) — semi-hard polymer, not soft like rubber but forgiving unlike brittle G-10 - PA-11cf — carbon fiber reinforced nylon with aluminum-like strength properties

SLS sintering creates isotropic strength — parts are strong in all directions. No layer-induced weaknesses, no odd geometry limitations. This matters for grips that handle daily carry stress.

Hamre Forge recreates discontinued and hard-to-find revolver stocks at affordable prices. Rather than pay $500–$1,000 for rare vintage grips that can crack or warp, customers get modernized versions manufactured to last.

Example: Gunfighter J-Frame grips replicate a classic design with community involvement. Each set credits the original stock lender with their initials inside the grip panel—a nod to the people who trusted Hamre Forge with heirloom pieces.

• •Left-Handed Hooks: Most revolvers can't accommodate left-handed hooks (cylinder release blocks them). Possible options: Ruger LCR/LCRx and NAA Mini.

Hamre Forge collaborates with American Fighting Revolver (AFR) and Demonstrated Concepts, drawing on subject matter expertise from industry professionals. These partnerships influence grip design and testing.

All products are designed, tested, and manufactured in Maine. Family owned and operated since 2023, with explosive growth—December 2024 alone shipped more orders than their entire first year in business.
