About Us
Exotic Pistol Grips was created by Jeff Sofferin, an avid gun collector for the past 35 years. As Jeff's collection grew he realized there was something integral missing to his beautiful .44 caliber Ruger Vaquero - a matching grip. The walnut grips that originally came on the pistol were too plain and unattractive. Jeff scoured gunshow after gunshow looking for the right grip while meeting other people in search of the same thing. Most dealers sold the rubber or replacement grips but there was very little in the way of materials such as elk horn, sambar stag horn, bone or exotic woods.
Upon this realization, Jeff saw the need to provide gun aficionados with the highest quality grips made of the most exotic materials. Along with his son, Adam Sofferin, the two created Exotic Pistol Grips in 2009. In 2025, operations were moved down the street to 706 East Arrow Highway Suite A Covina, CA 91722 and the store name changed to A-Team Guns and Ammo.
