Overview

While best known for the invention of the cotton gin, In 1798, Whitney built a factory for mass producing muskets for the US Army from interchangeable parts. Sam Colt later collaborated with Eli Whitney Jr. to successfully integrate the assembly line and interchangeable parts into what became Colt’s Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company in Hartford,CT.
ELW grips are VZ G-10 Proprietary Disruptive Hyena Burl with a unique “Super Scoop” The new 'Super Scoop' blends smoothly with the grip and gives extra thumb relief for easy access to the mag release button for fast mag changes. The grip is textured in VZ's most popular 'Operator II' pattern providing a secure grip without being overly aggressive.
