Here's a pic of the packaging as I removed it from the box, obviously cut wide open. And another pic of the inside bottom of the grip, all gouged up on the tab where someone would have used a "tool" of some kind to remove the grip.
I'm going to install the grip anyway, as the outside of it appears fine, and no one will see the inside and despite the gouges, structurally it seems to be sound.
I've ordered several trips from Hogue over the years, and never have I been sold a used item until this most recent purchase.
