Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a handle of which grip size can be easily adjusted to match the size of the hand of a user by selectively connecting plural handle augmenters of different sizes through a connecing means to a handle base. CONSTITUTION: A pistol-shaped grip handle assembly 10 is composed of a pistol- shaped handle base 12 and a pistol-shaped handle augmenter 15. In this case, plural sorts of the handle augmenters 15 of different sizes are prepared. Connecting protrusions 13, 14 to be engaged with each other are formed on the handle base 12 and the handle augmenter 15. An augmenter fixing member 19 having a head part to be overlapped with an edge part of the handle augmenter 15 is fixed to the handle base 12. A handle of which grip size can thus be easily adjusted to match the size of the hand of a user can thus be provided.
