1. A cylinder for storing pressurized gas comprising: a) a cylinder body configured and adapted to store pressurized gas, the cylinder body having a valve on a top;b) a handle extending from the cylinder body, the handle including a shroud with a proximal end coupled to the cylinder body to surround the valve and a rounded shape on a distal end to increase strength, wherein the shroud defines a hand hold opening and at least one clip receptacle hole adjacent the hand hold opening;c) a grip body engaged on each side of the shroud and within the hand hold opening of the handle, wherein the rounded shape is unencumbered by the grip body; andd) a lock member engaged with the grip body, locking the engagement of the grip body with the handle,wherein(i) the grip body includes a lengthwise slot for receiving the handle therein, the grip body includes a plurality of inboard clips having a first side configured to clip into the at least one clip receptacle hole in the handle from a first side of the grip body, and the lock member includes a main opening for receiving the grip body therein, and(ii) the lock member includes a plurality of clip locks each configured to engage a second side of the plurality of inboard clips, wherein the second side opposes the first side of the inboard clips, and, thereby, prevents a respective one of the inboard clips of the grip body from backing out of the respective clip receptacle hole to lock the grip body onto the handle. 2. The cylinder as recited in claim 1, wherein the handle, grip body, and lock member are arcuate in a lengthwise direction thereof. 3. The cylinder as recited in claim 1, wherein the grip body includes a plurality of stop surfaces configured to abut the handle to prevent over engagement of the grip body with the handle. 4. The cylinder as recited in claim 1, wherein a plurality of apertures are defined through at least one of the grip body and the lock member for accommodating a tool to disengage one or more of the grip body and lock member. 5. The cylinder as recited in claim 1, wherein the grip body includes a plurality of stop surfaces, wherein the lock member includes a plurality of stop surfaces, wherein each stop surface of the grip body is configured to abut a corresponding one of the stop surfaces of the lock member to prevent over engagement of the lock member with the grip body. 6. The cylinder as recited in claim 1, wherein the first and second side of the inboard clips is radially inward of the shroud. 7. The cylinder as recited in claim 1, further comprising a base on a bottom of the cylinder body that is complimentarily shaped to the rounded shape to allow stacking on a second cylinder of a same shape. 8. A pressurized gas cylinder comprising: a) an elongated cylinder body for storing pressurized gas;b) a valve coupled to a top end of the cylinder body for filling and emptying the cylinder body; andc) a handle extending from the top end of the cylinder body around the valve, the handle including: i) a shroud for protecting the valve, the shroud having a rim defining a hand hold opening, the shroud defining at least one clip receptacle hole located distally above the hand hold opening; andii) a grip for providing an ergonomic surface in the hand hold opening, the grip having: A) a grip body defining a lengthwise slot for coupling to the rim within the hand hold opening, the grip body having at least one clip with an upper clip portion that protrudes into the lengthwise slot for coupling to the at least one clip receptacle hole, the at least one clip terminating in a clip end; andB) a lock member for coupling to the grip body, the lock member having: an exterior that provides the ergonomic surface; an interior for receiving the grip body; and at least one clip upstanding within the interior and positioned opposing to the at least one clip to selectively engage the clip end and, in turn, couple the lock member to the grip body and prevent the upper clip portion from releasing from the at least one clip receptacle. 9. The pressurized gas cylinder as recited in claim 8, wherein the clip end of the at least one clip terminates in an arrow-head shape. 10. A pressurized gas cylinder comprising: a) an elongated cylinder body for storing pressurized gas;b) a valve coupled to a top end of the cylinder body for filling and emptying the cylinder body; andc) a handle extending from the top end of the cylinder body around the valve for protecting the valve, the handle including: i) a shroud defining a hand hold opening and a clip receptacle hole adjacent the hand hold opening; andii) a grip coupled in the hand hold opening and the clip receptacle hole, the grip having: a grip body defining a slot for coupling to the shroud, the grip body having a clip that protrudes into the clip receptacle hole; and a lock member that: provides an ergonomic surface for gripping by a user; and includes a clip retainer to selectively engage the clip for retention in the clip receptacle hole.
