I loved the feel of my Hogue Handall grips on my SHIELD, unfortunately they kept on moving a bit after a while and when I removed one it ripped. So Hogue send me a new grip.

There is a stick kit made by them but I had to find it locally , its basically double sided tape with an activator that its used to install grips in golf clubs. I found it at Academy for about $7.00 for the tape and solvent ( the solvent seems to be water based as it did not smell like anything at all or was oily).

I cut the tape 1.5 inches and placed it on both sides of the handle. I warmed up the grip with a blow dryer and apply the activator/solvent to the tape and grip to slide it in. its tricky but I used a small towel to assist me pushing it up the grip sleeve. I lowered the grip low enough where I could position my middle finger above the first finger groove without getting scratched by the roughnnes of the botton of the trigger guard, then with a brand new utility knife I cut the excess rubber. Let the activator/solvent sit overnight to evaporate. The grip has veins in the front and back, this allows you to center/align the sleeve against the vein in the back of the gun grip perfectly.

If for some reason your tape shows higher than the grip take a credit card and just push it down to adhere and hide below the grip sleeve

Looks pretty good! Don't think it will be moving any time soon
 
If one of them clubs can stay in place with a wild swing, I am sure that this grips are going nowhere!
