Description
The Thompson Center Encore black rubber grip is the original factory accessory for building out your Encore or Pro Hunter pistol. This isn't a third-party aftermarket grip, it's the real deal that comes on the frames right from TC's shop. If you're swapping barrels or converting your rifle setup to a pistol configuration, this grip handles the job.
Black Rubber Encore Grip Design
What works about this grip is straightforward. The rubber material gives you traction in less than ideal conditions without feeling slippery in your hand. Unlike some grips that feel too hard or too thin, the rubber here absorbs some hand fatigue during longer shooting sessions. The ambidextrous layout means it works equally well for righties and lefties, and the finger grooves are molded in a way that matches most hand sizes without feeling cramped.
Encore Pro Hunter Compatibility
This grip fits Thompson Center Encore and Pro Hunter pistol frames seamlessly. The factory engineering means fitment is straightforward, and installation requires just standard hardware that typically comes with your frame or can be sourced at any hardware store. If you're building multiple pistol configurations or maintaining several setups, having backup grips makes sense for quick swaps.
Built for Field Use
Practical feedback from hunters and range users consistently shows that the original rubber grip remains a solid choice. It handles recoil in a way that lets you focus on your shot rather than battling the gun, and it stays put in your hands whether you're working in a blind or on the bench. The finish holds up to the elements without degrading quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Thompson Center Encore grip work on both left and right-handed shooters?
Yes. The grip is ambidextrous, so the design works equally well for both righties and lefties. The finger grooves are positioned to give you natural control regardless of which hand you're shooting with.
Does the Encore grip come with mounting hardware?
The grip itself does not include the mounting bolt. You'll need a standard 1/4 inch by 20 allen screw to attach it to your Encore frame. Most grip bolts come with new Encore frames, but if you need a replacement, standard hardware store fasteners work fine.
Can I use this grip on other firearms besides the Encore?
No, this grip is specifically designed for Thompson Center Encore and Encore Pro Hunter pistol frames only. Other firearms use different mounting systems and frame configurations that won't accept this grip.
How does this compare to aftermarket grips for the Encore?
This is the original factory grip that Thompson Center puts on their frames. If you want the grip your Encore came with from the factory, or you're matching a frame, this is the piece. Other aftermarket options exist with different materials and designs, but this rubber grip remains the standard choice and is proven reliable across thousands of Encore builds.
