 Hogue Handall, a must-have on hand! Oct 14, 2009
By Vincent Wood
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 Oct 09, 2009
By Adam
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! Sep 21, 2011
By 2KCJ
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.

Hogue Full Size Grip Sleeve May 18, 2011
By Dan
Having recently purchased a Glock 17 Gen 4 I was looking for something to help ease the aggressive texture on the grip. Looking on Amazon I came across the Hogue grip. I was a little concerned purchasing this item even though it was indicated that it would fit my gun. Was I pleasantly surprised when it arrived. Not only did it fit perfectly, it was easy to install on the grip. I didn't have to place it in hot water to soften. I just slid it slowly on the grip and within 4 minutes it was on. The grip gave a whole new comfortable feel to the gun. I was very happy and impressed with my purchase. I would highly recommend this item.

Best price and works well with my Ruger P95 Nov 12, 2010
By Dr. Wilfredo M. Viray
"Wally"
I guess anyone that has ever owned a pistol has heard of Hogue Over Grip sleeves. They are the market leader and almost every shooter I know owns at least 1.
Pros:
Installation - It was so easy to install it on my Ruger P95. I left it in a glass of hot water for a few minutes to soften the rubber as per the included instructions. It took a few minutes to install and center. I did not have to trim the ends.
Price - If you buy it from amazon, you will save more than 50% compared to the gun stores.
Performance - Since you have a more positive grip, the recoil is more under control. Sweat does not affect the performance. The finger grooves gives me so much control over the gun.
Fit - This is almost a one size fits all.
Cons:
Limitations - You cannot install this on guns with grip safety like most 1911s.
Summary:
This is a must for most Pistols, specially Polymer framed ones. You will enjoy your day at the range more.
