How can i improve my heandgrip strength?

Hi, I'm a guy who works out at the gym. I weigh 85 kg, but I have a very weak grip. Even weaker than some girls (I can't even close a 50 kg handlebar). When I encountered this problem, my world fell apart. So I'd like to dedicate myself entirely to developing hand strength, even at the expense of losing considerable mass and volume in other muscle groups. Because, heck, I'm a man and I want a very strong grip, but I don't know where to start.

It shouldn't be that difficult. And it shouldn't induce panic to the degree your post sounds. As suggested by others dead hangs are good, also what are called farmer carries, where you walk around holding weights or kettlebells. There are the squeezing devices one can buy. Many gyms have these grip stations where you can adjust the weight where you are pulling two pieces together.
Also, wrist curls, which are good for forearms too.
If you can't do hangs for long, use an assisted pull up machine so you can hang for longer at a lower weight.
As an aside: forget mass and volume. Try to gain strength (and flexibility and stamina).
