Default Ruger LC 9 grip sleeve

I have a Ruger LC9 that I carry most of the time. I like the gun and shoot it well but I wanted a slightly larger grip.
Houge just introduced a grip sleeve that goes up the back strap farther than the sleeves made by Pachmayr. I had a hard time pulling it up the grip frame and finally put it in boiling water to soften it and make it stretch easier. I really like the feel and fits my hand but I have not shot the LC9 with the sleeve yet.

Does the new grip catch on your clothes and create printing problems when you carry the gun concealed?

So far no problem I wear a fairly large over shirt that tends to hang straight so my gun does not print.

Looks interesting. I had the Pachmayr. It did make the grip more comfortable, but it self destructed in just a few weeks of use. Hope the Hogue is more durable.
