I had the same experience at two different IDPA matches 15 years ago with two different Hogue Handalls.

If it slips on (even if difficult), any aftermarket grip sleeve, including an inner tube, can slip down and interfere with the mag well. There is no possibility of this happening with Talons or other adhesive wrapped grip enhancements, including the A-Grip which I have also used on a few guns.

I know, rubber grip sleeves don't slip down for some people. They may run their guns differently than I run mine. However, if there is the potential for this to happen, I avoid it.
