Default Grips Grips everywhere Grips

I have noticed grips are every where mostly 1911 and J frame seem to be the most out there. Are people making them at home with a 3D printer, is the a company who just makes grips ?????
Where are the all coming from ????

I would suspect some have a 3D printer, and some have CNC equipment.

A lot of folks want to be in the firearm business without the risk or regulation of making or selling the firearms or cartridges per se. Grips, holsters, lasers,and vaults are still "safe" businesses.

J Frames and 1911's are two of the most popular hand guns you could talk about - hence the fact there are so many aftermarket and secondary market grips available.
