Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
They started out in 1980 as Kim Ahrends Custom Firearms. At that time they were making some fine fighting 1911s. In 1982 they produced their first set of grips. With their grips as with their guns they strived to produce a product that functions as good as it looks. They have never been content with things as they are, always striving to improve on what they do.
They began in the basement with a minimal amount of power equipment. They only produced grips for the 1911 with a table saw and drill press. While hand checkering these grips there was time to think of more efficient ways to do things. In 1984 they moved into a garage in the back yard and added a CNC machine. They then moved into a larger building with 3 CNC machines and were still looking for ways to make their grips even better. The CNC equipment allows for a precision product. It’s the hand finishing, constant fitting on a frame, and attention to detail that set them apart.
With the CNC equipment, they are forced to design a grip where one size must fit all guns. This is the one area where there is a difference between a $70 grip and a $360 grip. Sadly, Kim's wife Judy lost a 10-year battle with cancer. The business was neglected to some extent during that time. The medical bills and business debt gave him little choice but to take bankruptcy.
