Why is every gun grip made of sandpaper?
We asked, then built the first functional gun grip made from Cordura® — a fabric built to be worn.
A fabric, not an abrasive
Combat Textiles started with one question: why is every gun grip made of sandpaper? The answer became the first functional gun grip made from Cordura® — a fabric built to be worn, not an abrasive stuck on as an afterthought.
Since our first day in business we have cut wraps for handguns, carbines and tactical accessories from 1000 denier Cordura® and polyurethane-coated nylon, to precise measurements for each platform. Every wrap is made in the USA and has been tested by LEOs, competitive shooters and firearm hobbyists.
Why Cordura. The fabric is processed in several stages to produce the densest possible material, with a coating that lasts. Its fibers are folded and twisted to a set thickness and strength — we use the densest spec, Cordura® 1000D. At 1000 denier the fabric is:
- Water resistant — rated to more than 5,000 mm.
- Flame resistant — melting point of 210–245 °C, and the grip is self-extinguishing.
- Breathable — 500 g/m per day.
- Durable — Stoll test wear resistance at 7,600 revolutions.
- UV resistant — color and quality hold under sunlight.
- IRR and radiation resistant.
Those characteristics made Cordura a protective material long before we got to it — first army equipment, then knee pads, body armor, load-bearing vests, covers, backpacks and military clothing. Now, protective wraps for the tools you trust.
