         10 . The firearm grip of  claim 9 , wherein the curved surface comprises a vertically curved surface relative to a slide-on direction of the grip shells. 
     
     
         11 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second projections each comprise an upward projection and a downward projection. 
     
     
         12 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second projections each comprise one of a hammerhead profile or a dovetail profile. 
     
     
         13 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein one of the first grip shell or the second grip shell comprises a thumb support. 
     
     
         14 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second bars facilitate holding the firearm portion with a hand. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second bars facilitate firing a firearm having the grip portion without the first and second grip shells being in place. 
     
     
         16 . A firearm grip, comprising:
 a plastic grip portion, comprising:
 a first lateral side defining a plurality of first ribs and a first recess; 
 a second lateral side defining a plurality of second ribs and a second recess; and 
 a step defined by the grip portion that corresponds to a step on a magazine to be received by the grip portion; 
   a first grip shell having a plurality of edges to slidably engage under one or more of the first ribs, the first grip shell comprising a first lug that is received by the first recess to hold the first grip shell in place; and   a second grip shell having a plurality of edges to slidably engage under one or more of the second ribs, the second grip shell comprising a second lug that is received by the second recess to hold the second grip shell in place.
