Looking for Grip Testers! 🫵 We want you 🫵
We are currently looking for gun owners to test our newest grips on your guns. Netticks Group LLC, the founding company of Netticks grips, is looking for gun owners to test our grips and help us fine tune our internal sizing. We have invested in the setup and have begun producing our grips, however a final piece of this puzzle requires fitting to multiple guns of the same model.
Every gun has minor differences in dimensions as a result of several factors, some of which are:
Machining wear and replacement of tooling • Machine and hand sanding to smooth edges, etc. • Hand polishing and final detail work
This is much more pronounced in older production guns, however it is a real factor on guns produced everyday. When producing solid grips such as wood, G10, MOP, etc. The grips must be made to a median size to cover 95-99% of the model for which they are made.
Our engineer recommends fitting production grips to a minimum of 5 guns each. In an effort to minimize costs and keep the end user pricing reasonable without sacrificing quality we are looking for gun owners, gunsmiths, and gun store employees/owners with the ability to install our grips, including any required adjustments, to many makes and models.
If this interests you please continue reading below..
Requirements:
You must own or have prolonged access to the gun for which you will receive grips for testing and fitting. This process may require a second or third set be sent if required, this is unlikely, however it is possible and the fitting must be done on the same gun, not several different models. Verifiable photos will be required.
You must be capable of fitting the grips to the gun for which they are sent in a clean manner. We may use power tools where necessary, types of tools used must be noted, along with pictures of the area adjusted. It does not need to be factory smooth, however intentionally over sanding will not count for a final approval.
You will be required to outline what, if anything, you did to fit the grips to the gun and how you accomplished it. A list of tools used, including sandpaper grit size if used. Pictures of the tools and bits used may be requested.
You may receive a set that fits perfectly, or possibly too large in a rare instance. As we make production changes we may send you another set in these situations as mentioned above.
All items we send to you, aside from paperwork or items not directly related to the grip installation, must be returned to us for proper credit on the approval for voucher and care package.
5-10 people will be chosen per grip style and gun model/grip frame. We will choose based on factors such as month/year of purchase/manufacture. State/Location where you purchased the gun. And ability based on your submitted form.
For your contribution you will receive a care package of gun accessories currently being sold by Netticks Group LLC, and one (1) set of grips for any model gun we have available at the time of completion (You can choose to delay your grip choice for future offerings)

All makes and models are encouraged to submit as we will be continually adding to our lineup along the way.
