I bought a Pachmayr Tactical Grip Glove for my Glock 22 and liked it much better than the Hogue Handall I had been using mainly because it's not so thick. Very tacky (in a good way, sticky to the grip) and stretches to fit the gun. Your grip on the pistol is much stronger which is important with .40S&W and larger. Seems to work well when your hands are wet but I'll find out with more use and sweat. Much, much easier to put on than the Hogue, which is a good product but makes for a pretty fat grip. That's a plus for someone with large hands but for average to small hands the Pachmayr is an excellent choice.

I got Pachmayr's Model 17 which is for full size Glocks like the 17 and 22 but then I tried it on my compact Glock 23 and it's a perfect fit (Pachmayr also makes one for the 19/23 that's about 1/4" shorter but I'd get the larger grip). I liked it so much I bought a second so both Glocks are wearing one now.

So far the only complaint, the large size should be 1/4" longer for the full size Glocks. And I bet the Model 19 version would be a good fit for the Baby Glocks. Definitely recommended, especially at the price.

I was surprised how well made and comfortable the grips are, wish they made them for a Ruger P-95.

I have this on my kel-tec sub 2k carbine. The carbines handle was lacking some stability and grip. This grip provides a much better grip and is very comfortable. It really sticks to your hand while still providing a soft pad for your palm. I am pleased with the purchase.

put it on my g17, so you don't feel the finger groves. Just let it sit in the sun for a few and don't force it, and you should be good.

A Quality Product. Not flimsy at all unless your using it as a sling shot. I put it on an AR-15 Israeli grip w/the finger grooves. Yeah, I carefully streched it over the grip since what the other reviews said, but I could have pulled it on with one big yank (huh-huh I said "big yank") and I would have not encountered a problem. Very good stuff. I like the Houge universal grips, but after this grip I might look into replacing my pistol Houge Handall and Houge Handall Jr. with a Pachmayr universal slip on. You won't be un-happy!

After reading a number of reviews of competitors products with claims of difficult installation and tearing of the "Grip Glove" when pulled over the grip, I found the installation easy and quick.

The enhancement to your grip upon draw is excellent. No need for re-grip after initial volley. Enhanced weapon retention. Does not significantly increase grip circumferences.

Highly recommended to those whom utilize their Glock's in a tactical or daily use.

Material is much too flimsy, grip tore in half before I had it half way on the gun. If you buy one, don't believe the Mfr's statement that "soap and water are not necessary". Use it or you will have a two piece grip also.

I wanted a grip for a Glock 23. They sent me a grip for CZ-75-85. Also , It takes forever to recieve an order. About 3 weeks. I will not buy anything from this company again.

Currently use three of these on my pistols; one for my Gen4 Glock 23, another for my Gen3 Glock 24 and one for my Springfield XDm 45 (actually the Glock 17 sleeve, since the Springfield version has finger grooves; I avoid finger grooves whenever possible). Each add-on was done primarily because I was unhappy with the relatively lack of gripping traction that each of these pistols had with their factory polymer finishes.

The rubber is relatively flexible, pliable and soft; had zero problems fitting each of the sleeves on the guns that are wearing them. They provide a soft but high traction gripping surface to hold on to plus aid with some degree of cushioning for felt recoil, particularly helpful when shooting hot loads. When fitted on the two Glocks, they provide what I think is superior traction than the bare grip provides. The Gen4 stippling just isn't as good as the RTF2 finish used on my Gen3 Glock 17, and the original RTF finish of the Gen3 is even more woeful and slippery to me. The Grip Glove solves all of that, at least as far as I'm concerned; YMMV of course. In addition, the sleeve actually helps minimize the impact of the frontstrap finger ridges that I never wanted Glock to mold into the Gen3 (and later) grips in the first place. This makes it easier to slide and place the supporting fingers of my trigger hand to wherever I want them to be, and not where Glock thinks they should be.

On the XDm 45, the voids created by the sleeve on the that gun's frontstrap really don't adversely affect my overall feel for the gun's grip, and in fact make the somewhat slippery (I think) texture pattern of the XDm 45 a lot more 'grippy' and secure-feeling. Moreover the top edge of the sleeve along the backstrap partially covers the grip safety without actually deactivating it. If you're like me and find that the small-footprint grip safety found on XD and XDm handguns is irritating in your hand, this bit of overlap goes a long way in mitigating that sensation. No longer do I get the urge to scratch an imagined itch on the edge of my thenar eminence (the bulbous, fleshy mass beneath one's thumb) like I did when the lower end of the XDm's grip safety was naked and uncovered.

For the sawbuck that I paid for each of these (purchased locally), I have to say that the Pachmayr Grip Glove is one of the better add-on grip solutions that I've tried. No more sticky-back Decal Grip or skateboard tape is needed. And if at some point I decide that I no longer need the sleeve, it's easy and mess-free to take off. Only downside to date is with the Gen4 G23; the smaller size of the Gen4 grip allows the sleeve to twist around a bit, so every so often I have to go back and readjust the fit. Other than that quibble, these have proven to be money well spent.
