The material we use does not come apart or deteriorate and is resistant to all solvents and oils used around firearms.

Hogue Handall, a must-have on hand!,
Myself being a new owner of a Ruger P95, even though I love my pistol, found the factory grip a little lacking. A good friend of mine has a Ruger P94 equipped with this grip, and recommended that I purchase one of the Hogue slip-on grips to improve the traction of my pistol. Well, to say that I am impressed, would be an understatement. From the moment I “slipped” the grip on my pistol ( I found a little patience and a sturdy, non-sharp object, like a spoon handle was the remedy to apply this grip.) and trimmed up the little bit of overhang with a sharp pair of scissors, noticed the difference immediately. The palm swells and finger grooves add so much more grip and comfort, it was almost hard to believe that I was holding the same pistol!! I don’t know how some people keep polymer frame pistols stock, without adding something as cheap, simple and ever so effective as the Hogue Handall grip to their fire arm! This makes all the difference in my confidence with drawing the weapon from it’s holster, practicing self-defense drills and even shooting! Like I said before, this is a must-have if you’re looking for a cheap, simple amazing solution to factory grips on your pistol! A++ to Hogue!

|Your shirt will ride up on this,
I bought these for two of my glocks – a full size 31, and a subcompact 26. The 26 is sometimes used for legal concealed carry. Installing them wasn’t too difficult – I heated them up in boiling water, then slide over the grips. The G26 grip required some trimming with a razor blade, but this was expected (in fact I think it even says as much on the box) and was simple enough to do.
The grip is pretty comfortable – not a huge improvement, but it does add a bit of cushion to the otherwise hard plastic glock grip. However, this slight improvement in comfort comes with two unacceptable costs:
1) An increase in grip thickness – these babies are pretty fat for just a grip cover.
2) If you use this for IWB carry, your shirt WILL ride up on the tacky grip material. I tried it with several different shirts (different materials), all with the same result – put the gun in a quality IWB holster, and after only a few minutes of walking around the shirt slowly creeps up to reveal your gun to the entire gun-fearing world. Luckily I tried these at home before going out into public. I’ve talked to a number of others who have tried these grips, and they all had the same problems, so this isn’t just me.
I ended up taking them off both of my glocks (even the 31, which I don’t carry concealed, simply because it just wasn’t that comfortable to justify the increase in grip thickness).
There are better options out there – either suck it up and get used to the stock grip, or use thinner and better options such as the various grip tapes available.

|Feels great!,
It took me a while to get this sleeve slid onto the grip of my Hi-Point .45, but once it was on there, it fit like a glove and felt very good. In my case, it required no trimming at all. If you’re familiar with the Hi-Point, it doesn’t exactly have the best grips on it. With the sleeve, it made the gun feel much more comfortable and secure. I have no doubt that this will greatly improve the grip on the gun when hands are wet or sweaty.
