Hogue Grips and Firearm Accessories
About Hogue
Hogue Inc. was founded in 1968 by Guy Hogue, a Los Angeles Police Department officer who was dissatisfied with the standard grip on his service revolver.
He crafted a custom grip that better fit his hand and improved control, which soon garnered interest from his fellow officers.
What started as a garage workshop operation to help fellow law enforcement officers quickly grew into a dedicated business.
Hogue revolutionized the firearms grip industry by introducing synthetic rubber grips that provided superior comfort, recoil absorption, and control compared to traditional materials.
Today, the company is carried on by Guy Hogue's sons Aaron and Patrick Hogue, along with his grandson Neil Hogue, maintaining the family tradition of American quality and innovation from their Henderson, Nevada facilities.
