Hogue 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.

Perfect fit. Cheaper than manufacturers website. Amazon fast shipping. Great product, love the feel on my bodyguard.

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 put this on a bodyguard 2.0 and it fits great. I used 211 degree water and let the grip soak for a bit and then pulled it out and stretched it some and then let it soak a few more minutes and it slide right onto the bodyguard way easier than I thought it would. Went right on with little effort. It adds just a bit extra to the grip to make it fit my hand even better. I did have to mess with the exact location of where I let the grip cool so that it fit my hand the best. I would recommend messing with the grip as you would hold it and make sure it’s in the proper place before you let it cool and stick into place.

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.

Hogue grips are excellent, there’s no question to how well they are made or about their functionality. I want to provide some insight on my experience with placing this on my Bodyguard 2.0. I’m not sure if I like it or not for the BG2.0 because without the grip, the handle is smooth so to speak on the front under the trigger guard, and the guard itself has a good cut out (or indentation) for your middle finger. I can get three fingers on the handle and I have large hands, though my pinky is not fully seated up on the handle, it’s seated enough I consider it a full grip. When I put the hogue on the handle, all of this changed, primarily because there is a bump out on the grip, separating the middle finger from the ring finger. This essentially pushes the ring finger down and therefore pushes my pinky down, causing my pinky to no longer be able to fully grip the handle. Now it has to sit underneath the mag, or I can place it on the handle and obtain about a 50% grip as the bottom of the handle now rests about half way into the width of my finger. Again I don’t know if I like it because while the hogue adds texture, a wider grip, and ultimately a better placement of the middle and ring fingers, pushing my pinky off the grip makes me feel like I’m holding an LCP, one of the exact reasons as to why I went out and spent $400 on the BG2.0. Aside from this, it took me less than five minutes to slip it on without any sort of magical techniques that people seem to go on about, and I’m still giving it 5 stars because Hogue makes a terrific aftermarket grip, regardless of my experience with this particular model.

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.

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.
