I'm wondering what other P&C underwriters think of an account I'm familiar with.

The risk makes several types of products related to firearms/hunting/shooting sports:
Handgun grips and stocks for rifles. Much of their work is custom grips for handguns.
They also make sights and grips for bows and grips for hunting knives.
They sell to gun manufacturers and individuals. Sales around $10mm a year so they make a lot of them.

Do you think this has a high degree of GL hazard? Should it be in a standard or E&S market? Ideas on a GL class code?

Thanks!

You'll be hard pressed to find a standard market to write a firearms accessories manufacturer. The mfg has a definite products exposure as they are a supplier. It's absolutely an E&S account. If you require assistance, do not hesitate to reach out.
