M&P Hogue Grip

[Pyzik]

I know this has been discussed here a couple times but I have two questions.

One - I know folks say the grip feels a little larger than the medium grip, do you think the grip could be sanded down?

Two - Does anyone have a pic to share. There really isn't too many user pics of this product.

Thanks!!!

PS. I am talking about the "hybrid", not the "Handall".
I have the Handall and it moves around too much so I don't use it but I would REALLY like finger grooves.
Also, I have stippled my gun, I am looking for finger grooves.

OK my Handall moved too much also. I really like that grip on my shield and it ripped when it removed it. Houge send me another replacement and there is an installation kit that consist of double sided tape and a waterbase solvent that will allow you accomocate the grip where you want it, you just need to let it dry for a day or so so the fluid will evaporate and the tape will adhere properly. The use this tape in golf clubs and bicycle grips. The kit is about $7.00. Just make sure to clean the handle first with alcohol and remove any oil residue

I have smaller hands and always used the small grip insert. The hybrid is certainly bigger but it doesn't hinder my grip one bit. I think with the combination of the added stickiness and finger grooves if keeps the gun from moving around in my hand like a similarly large "slipperier' grip would. It's makes the gun feel "planted" in my hand and therefore works great for me. I can't imagine where you'd sand it as it's larger both in depth and in thickness. Sanding just the back isn't going to do a thing for the added width and of course you wouldn't want to sand off the "pebbles". It's cheap enough to try it and if you don't like it toss it or sell it here on the forum.

Reading about the "kit" to attach the handall brings back memories of when I was a kid and had bicycle grips that were both a pain to get on and once they were on would slip around...we'd just used hairspray! It gave it that little bit of slip to help get it on and once dried it kept the grips from rotating.

Here's a couple of pics of the Hybrid on mine...

If it works on a golf club with a wild swing, It has to work on my gun. My concern are solvents oil the oils used to clean the gun.
