About Us
Who We Are
Extreme Shooters, LLC is based in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and we do one thing better than anyone in the industry: custom 2011 pistol grips.
We hand texture and reduce 2011 polymer grips so they feel better, fit your hand better, and let you shoot better. Every grip is built to your exact specifications, and every grip leaves our shop having been worked on by hand, not a machine.
We're not a company that sells gear we never touch. We use our own products every single day, on and off the range.
What We Make
We hand create each grip to order, with options including:
- Dragon Scale (DVC) texture a less aggressive everyday carry grip
- Tactical Texture for a balanced, all purpose feel
- Tree Bark for the most aggressive grip available
- Grip reductions to shrink the frame to your hand size with Regular & Maximum options
- Specality options: Funnel cut, Bobtail, and custom color paint
Our founder developed the signature double undercut trigger guard, the grip reduction, and the Dragon Scale (DVC) texture that started it all. Each one came out of a real need to improve control behind the gun, not a marketing meeting.
Where We Started
Our story began in USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) competition. That's the game we play, so many of our products were born on the competition clock, though shooters use our grips for everything from carry to duty work.
Our founder, Jason Kleefisch, earned Master class status in USPSA. As he got dialed in with his gear, he started modifying his grips. With smaller hands, he built his first undercut and grip reduction, and it transformed his control. He went from B class to Master class in a single year.
Jason and his partner, Amy Kleefisch, realized this same texture and reduction could help a lot of people shoot better. Amy found the smaller grip gave her real confidence and control behind the gun, and to this day many women come to us for that same modification. What started as one shooter's fix has quite literally shaped itself into what Extreme Shooters is today.
