Anyone have experience with Hogue grips? They look promising but a pain to get on. I could see them making my Shield 1.0 a better grip or my 43X.
Shield is way too thin for me. 43x just needs a bit more grip, I’ve considered the rubber grip tape. The stock grip works fine for edc though. Putting a hogue grip on a 43x may make it closer to the g19 In dimensions which kinda ruins the point.
I have tried one in the past but i did not like the ‘spongy’ feel so i went with Talon Grips(Pro). But, for my range toys, Handleit Grips(Edge and Extreme)
HTH.
I have the hogue grip on my shield. It adds a little more width to the grip without any discomfort from rubbing. Overall I’m content with it.
tried em on a 44 mag with hot loads actually made the pain worse drove the metal part into the nerves in my hand…
so NOPE none for me…
I agree with that. I have Vet-wrap on my Sub2K and just the standard grips on my 92A1.
been using pachmayr grips on everything except the shield in 45
gota upgrade it yet happy with how they feel
the factory grip on the shield is a sharp checkering and it dont feel good under the T shirt
Have a set on my P239 and Ruger LC9P. Adds better grip to both, but especially the Ruger which is way too narrow without for a comfortable grip.
Have these on both of my EDC carry guns. Love them, and yes they are a bit difficult to get on. Several YouTube’s show how to get them on. For the price they’re very good without adding extra bulk.
No it doesn’t. I have a shield 45 as well. Great gun but the 2.0 texture is too aggressive for me for carry. Great for shooting though.
I usually use Talon tape, but I like the Hogue grips to enlarge a small firearm grip. Specifically, I use the Hogue grips on my Taurus G2C and S&W Bodyguard 2.0.
If you go the Hogue route, you can use a couple drops of hand or dish soap to cut the friction and make the Hogue grip easier to slip on.
