Our Story
Founded in 2015 in Chicago, Illinois, Tyrant CNC was built on the belief that design matters — not just how something looks, but how it feels, functions, and lasts. We saw an opportunity to transform the way firearm accessories and EDC gear were made — to bring modern aesthetics and real performance to products too often overlooked.
We started with a simple idea:
If you want excellence, you have to create it yourself.
Since then, we’ve grown our lineup while staying true to what made us different — precision machining, bold design, and a desire to build hardware that owners can trust in the field.
What We Make
At our core, we are manufacturers, tinkerers, and gear-obsessed builders. Our precision-machined components are engineered to stand up to heavy use, improve ergonomics, and elevate the shooting and carry experience. Whether you’re mounting our skeletonized AR-15 grips or adding one of our EDC knives to your pocket, every Tyrant product is created to be functional, dependable, and distinctive
Built for Real Use
We don’t chase trends. We pursue excellence.
Every product we design undergoes rigorous testing and thoughtful refinement so that when you pick it up in your hand — whether at the range, on duty, or on an outdoor adventure — it feels right. The lines, balance, and fit of our components are intentional because quality isn’t just seen — it’s felt.
Innovation Is Our Standard
Tyrant CNC started with one groundbreaking innovation — the skeletonized aluminum AR-15 grip — and has continued to refine both form and function across our offerings. We're not here to make “me-too” products. We’re here to set a standard.
“The Tyrant grip created a great ergonomic feel… providing a durable, reliable piece of hardware and one less thing to worry about.”
