Hogue, Inc., is an American company that manufactures and distributes firearms accessories, knives, and other related products. Founded in 1968 in California,[3] and now based in Henderson, Nevada,[1] the company is best known for its pistol grips.[4][5]

History

The company was founded by Guy Hogue in 1968, after he started making pistol grips that would properly fit his hand.[5] As a member of the Los Angeles Police Department,[3] Hogue also started making grips for fellow officers. His grips became so popular that he retired from his job in law enforcement to focus on his own business.[5][3]

The company has expanded over time and now provides grips for at least 16 different brands of handguns, manufactured in four different Hogue facilities.[5] Grips are produced in rubber and in wood, in multiple colors and textures.[5] The company also makes holsters and rifle stocks.[5]

In 2011, the company started producing knives, which led to a move of its headquarters to Nevada, "due in large part to a California statute that prohibits the manufacturing of automatic knives."[6] The company states that it manufactures knives for Heckler & Koch and SIG Sauer, and that Hogue knives "are issued to all branches of the U.S. Military."[7]

Upon Guy Hogue's retirement, leadership of the company passed to two of his sons, Aaron and Patrick.[5][2]
