Hogue Handall Jr on the Shield
This grip took a little bit of soapy water to put. The palm swell adds a little bit of width and the grip feels great!

The Hogue Jr and Pachmayr Size #4 both fit well.
So far though, I prefer the feel of the naked grip. No sleeve needed, like with my little PF-9.

I injured my wrist while remodeling a year ago and after putting a hundred rounds through my 40cal, it was hurting. I figured a little cushion might help. I may have to drop down to a 9mm, but I hope not

Looks pretty nice. Is it staying in place pretty well after those hundred rounds?

This was done after my range trip. I will be going out in a couple of weeks to see if this stays put. I have used this this grip on two other guns and had no slippage.

Never tried it but I hear cutting a bicycle inner tube to fit works wonders for dirt cheap.

Brother in law has this on his carry pistol. Not a fan of the look but it certainly does work well enough.

Got one on mine, I like that it adds a finger grove.

I have a Hogue on 2 other pistols. When put on properly and dried, they do not move. A small drop of shampoo in a 3 oz spray bottle, a couple sqiurts for lube, wipe off the excess, and let dry for at least 24 hrs. I speed up the process with a hair dryer. The soap lubes it and helps hold it in place when dry. The drawback to these grips, is the resistance against clothing for a fast draw. Some like it, some don't.

I have the jr. model on my shield as of day two. It is a $10 part that really makes the grip more comfortable for me. It does not really add to the thickness or conceal ability of the gun in any way. Be sure to trim a notch out for the mag release on the shooters right side to eliminate any issues releasing the magazine. I have no slippage as of yet.

I have one on my kahr CW 9 and it really made a difference, without adding much bulk. Good product.

I just heated mine up with a blowdryer for a couple minutes and pushed up with some finesse and fits like a glove. Didn't realize it has palm swells until I installed it. Can't beat it for the price!

I just used a glock 19 grip tape decal kit on my Shield 40. I hate it. It rubs on my back all day when i carry it and wont stay stuck down. After seeing this i ordered myself one. Hope it works well.

The grip made for a very pleasant shooting experience and it is there to stay.

I turned the Hogue Handall Jr grip upside down so there's a wider spacing between the trigger guard and finger groove bump. I like this grip a lot better in this orientation for large hands and it allows room for my finger.
I didn't use any slickem to put the grip on and chose to do it dry and it worked well.

No one mentioned the magic install way for those hogue handalls... Very well known on all the forums...
The SHield is small, so it may not be that hard to install..
However, in general, the best way is to boil water.
Once boiling, throw the handall into the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with tongs and throw it on a towel. Wipe off all the water quickly, and then grab it and start installing.
The heat makes it stretch (it will just be warm to the touch once you get all the water off of it).
Once installed, it will shrink as it cools, and then it shouldn't move.

It will move, it moved in all 3 of my guns, 2 shields and one Bersa, right after my fist cleanup. Hogue sells a stick kit to prevent this which consist of golf club grip tape and waterbase solvent.

Well, I've done many guns this way - and not a single one ever moved over the years

I dont know what to say brother. it moved in both of my shields, more than the Bersa, I wonder if it has anything to do with the polymer handle just not grabbing.
I would be at the range and the grooves would go sideways after a while

I have seen more than one utube video where, in slow motion, the gun can be seen twisting in the hand. This just happens with some shooters and I doubt anyone would be aware of it without seeing it on video. All in the grip. That would certainly explain twisting of the Hogue grip.

Well, I have never used the junior version... Only the regular version on large polymer guns.
On my Shield, I just use the innertube piece, as in the pic I posted above. 16" bicycle innertube from Walmart.

Went out today. 200 rounds on each Shield and it stayed in place, unlike then other times. Handall Jr does not have as much grabbing surface as the standard. that could have been it!!
