Right now, our handgrip (or handle) looks fairly plain. Let's work on this for a while, and see if we can get a better look at it.

The first thing we'll do is select the large face at the side of the handgrip:

We'll duplicate this by pressing Shift + D and move it back a bit:

To add a little more detail, let's run a couple of loop cuts across this face by pressing Ctrl + R + wheel up (rolling the mouse wheel changes the number of edge loops):

Then, we can drag the lower section back a bit by selecting the bottom-right edge and moving it to the Y axis:
