HandAll Beavertail Rubber Grip Sleeve for S&W Shield 9/40, Ruger LC9 / EC9, Black - 18400

Love this. Took a lil wrk 2 get it on as per directions. Not 2 crazy tho. Fits snug, feels good. Comfortable grip. Fingertips a lil sore from install, lol. Awesome product.

Fits original shield well.

Hogue grips are the most comfortable grips you can get. Tight fit that won't slip or turn. Great texture & palm swell in your hand. Looks slick too. Price is on point. Does not go on easy, but thats how it stays in place no matter what you do. Hint on install, you can use a little windex sprayed on the pistol grip to help it slide on if needed. I also use a butter knife (dull one) or thin spoon/fork handle stuck between the grip sleeve & pistol grip. That can help you pry/manipulate it into place. Just be careful you dont pry too hard or you might rip the grip sleeve.

I do not normally take the time for reviews. But this item is fantastic. I put it on my bodyguard 2.0. No more sliding around in your hand gives you a good firm grip. Outstanding. A little hard to get on. I used a small amount of soap on the inside, a heat gun set at no more than 200° do not overheat it or the polymer gun grip. Took about a 10 minutes.

nice little grip sleeve, and not hard to install

This aftermarket grip is insanely difficult to install. I cannot stress that enough. However, once it is on it is secure and it definitely adds to the ergonomics of the grip on my M&P 2.0 9MM ... especially if you have big hands as we do. (Note: As a long time shooter, both IPSC and IDPA and even a little SASS, and as a long time NRA instructor, this grip probably will prove too much, too large and stout of a grip for those with smaller hands.) Okay, so here is what we (my 21 year old gorilla son and I) learned when installing these grips on our pistols. First, forget the nonsense that the enclosed (with the grips) instructions tell you to do when it comes to slipping these grips onto the pistol. Forget about cutting the plastic shoehorns out of the packaging .... pretend as if you never saw that nonsense. Instead, heat and thus soften the aftermarket slip-on-grip with either a hair drier or boiling water and then work fast by using the Windex as a lube and a medium sized flat head screwdriver to pry it on - but be careful of two (2) things. Don't overpry and rip or tear the rubber grips while they are warm and DO NOT keep the hair drier on it long enough to melt the rubber. Also, did I mention "work fast?" WORK FAST! Because that rubber does not stay soft for long and you have to get it up there and then let it shrink and cool in order for it to seat properly on the exisiting frame. If the rubber is too hot to handle then use gloves because you want it warm and pliable when you begin. This thing fits tighter than a gnat's butt stretched over a #10 washtub so, at first, you are going to think there is no way possible this thing is going to ever slip on .... but it will. Just work hard and be patient and don't yell at your Son or tell him he's a dummy and to put some muscle into it, or anything like that in the process .... errrrr, not that I did that or anything ::::::bows head in shame:::::: - but this is a very frustrating process and the instructions are obviously in there in order to test your ability to reason logically and to test your curse word vocabulary of which you will use all of them and probably make up some new ones as you go. Soooooo, warm it up, use Windex for lube and pry it on there with a flat headed screwdriver. Once you've accomplished the mission you'll be a happy camper. In the meantime I can only imagine how many ugly words have been slung towards the Hogue folks while trying to get these grips on pistols. It is absolutely one of the most insanely awkward and difficultly frustrating things you might ever try to do when it comes to servicing your firearm. I am NEVER taking mine off! It is on there permanently.

Totally love this thing on my ec9s. Makes a huge difference to how it fits in my hand. Has a good feel to it now that the grip is a little wider and made of rubber. Doesn’t look half bad either so that’s a plus. They should really just throw something lite this in when you buy a gun this small for guys like myself with larger hands. A little force needed to get it on but you know it’s on there good. I didn’t need anything to lube it up, just used my hands and a little patience. Shouldn’t have to say it but please make sure your gun isn’t loaded before you put this on it. Anyway, I totally recommend this for anyone with a similar edc.

This fits S&W bodyguard 2.0. No it will not be easy to get on. Got a small tear in mine on accident using small plastic trim tools. Not visible after heating it up some to close the hole i poked in it. Lol.
