Claim:
1. A configurable handgrip comprising: a plurality of plates; the plates being arranged in a stack; each plate defining a plate aperture; an elongated clamp element operably engaging the stack and received by each of the plate apertures; the each plate aperture having a selected width, and the clamp element having a clamp width less than the selected width such that the plates are loosely constrained against transverse movement by interaction of the clamp and the plate apertures; and the clamp element being operable to transition between a first released position in which the plates are free to move transversely with respect to each other, and a second clamped position in which the plates are secured against movement with respect to each other, such that the stack may be formed into a selected shape when the clamp is in the released position, and the plates are held in the selected shape when the clamp is in the clamped position.
