Take an aphorism and put it on your shootin' iron. Rio Grande Custom Grips and “Cold Dead Hands” (the blog) have partnered up to create a set of firearm grips that demonstrates the shooter's visceral support of the Second Amendment. One of the grips, the ‘Pry My Fingers’, was named after a popular phrase made even more popular by actor and NRA President, Charlton Heston. You'll no doubt remember the iconic moment from back in 2000 when Heston gave a dinner speech that included him holding a Revolutionary War replica musket over his head and saying “…from my cold dead hands!” Cold Dead Hands is an “unapologetic for-profit corporation” blog page that speaks out for the Second Amendment. They advise that “advocating for the protection of the right of the individual to ‘keep and bear arms' is a primary focus”. Rio Grande Custom Grips is a company that manufactures custom made grips for handguns. Rio Grande lets their customers choose from a variety of stock images from the company's library or provide a custom image of their preference from which to develop unique look. All grips made are resistant to salt, oil, water, solvent, abrasion, and impacts. You can learn more about Rio Grande Custom Grips on their Facebook page or visit them on their website. ‘Pry My Fingers’, ‘Libertas/Mortis/’ , and ‘Skull and Guns’ are the three grips currently available in the Cold Dead Hands custom line. They sell for $69.95 and you can purchase them here; make sure to check out the Cold Dead Hands website or Facebook page for other pro-2A styles.
