Firearm grips and firearm grip construction sets
A firearm grip, a firearm grip construction set and related methods are disclosed. An example firearm grip includes a grip portion, which includes a wall covering at least a portion of a magazine and a plurality of ribs. The firearm grip also has a first grip shell having a plurality of first lateral edges, second grip shell having a plurality of second lateral edges, and a grip back having a top edge and a bottom edge. With the example firearm grip, at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell is exchangeable. In addition, at least one of the first grip shell, the second grip shell or the grip back is coupled to the grip portion with an undercut tongue and groove connection. Further, at least one of the first lateral edges, the second lateral edges, the top edge or the bottom edge slidably engages under one of the plurality of ribs and an opposite edge of at least one of the first lateral edges, the second lateral edges, the top edge or the bottom edge is coupled to the grip portion via an attachment. In addition, the grip back of the example firearm grip slidably engages at least one of the first lateral edges or the second lateral edges and holds at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell in place.
1. A firearm grip, comprising:

a grip back having a top edge and a bottom edge,
wherein at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell is exchangeable;
wherein the grip back is coupled to the grip portion with a tongue and groove connection;
wherein at least one of the first lateral edges or the second lateral edges, is to slidably engage under one of the plurality of ribs; the top edge or the bottom edge is coupled to the grip portion via an attachment;
wherein the grip back slidably engages at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell to urge the at least one of the first lateral edges or the second lateral edges into engagement with one of the plurality of ribs, the grip back to hold at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell in place.
2. The firearm grip as defined in claim 1 , wherein the attachment is a transverse pin.
3. The firearm grip as defined in claim 1 , wherein the grip back is coupled to the wall covering the magazine.
4. The firearm grip as defined in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first grip shell, the second grip shell, or the grip back have a different pattern on the outside surface.
5. The firearm grip as defined in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell is made at least partially out of fiber glass reinforced plastic material.
6. The firearm grip as defined in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell includes a grip-enhancing material.
7. A firearm grip construction set, comprising:
a first grip shell having a plurality of first lateral edges;
a second grip shell having a plurality of second lateral edges; and
a grip back having a top edge and a bottom edge,
wherein at least one of the first lateral edges or the second lateral edges is to slidably engage under one of a plurality of ribs on a wall to cover a magazine,
wherein the grip back is to slidably engage at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell to urge the at least one of the first lateral edges or the second lateral edges into engagement with one of the plurality of ribs, the grip back is to hold at least one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell in place, wherein the grip back is to be coupled to a grip portion of a firearm with a tongue and groove connection,
wherein the first grip shell and the second grip shell differ in at least one of dimension, material, or surface condition.
8. A firearm grip, comprising:
a plastic grip portion comprising;
a wall covering at least a portion of a magazine; and
