HogueHogue, HandAll Beavertail Grip Sleeve, Glock 19 Gen 1-2-5, Aqua

G-19 Gen 5. I have thick calloused hands. Gripping any plastic gun grip has the felt effect of plastic on plastic. The Hogue 17050 HandAll Beavertail Grip Sleeve remedied all of that and more! Your strong hand gets a positive, non slip grip as well as a small bulge located between the palm meat and fingers that fills that void nicely to give your hand full contact with the grip. Your support hand gets a nice grippy area to smash your palm against for superior control. This grip makes the Glocks square grip feel more rounded with a smoother contour. The finger grooves are very stable and only get soft towards the very tips, this allows fingers of different sizes to fit comfortably without any hard edges. I find the finger grooves help settle my top finger against the finger guard thus allowing for the highest grip possible. The durability has been excellent with no noticeable wear. The grip stays clear of the magazine release and has not moved since installation with 100's of draws from holster. If you hate the front grip cutout on Gen 5's, you'll be happy to know that this grip will cover it but still allow it to function as designed for removing magazines. Installation was straight forward and easy. Place Hogue grip in very hot water for about 30 seconds, spray entire gun grip liberally with windex and proceed to apply Houge grip quickly before the rubber cools, make sure everything is centered and lined up and allow a couple of hours to set and dry. I was concerned that the beaver tail extension would roll or eventually gap, this has not occurred and stays very tight to the grip. The only issue that I ran into turned out to be a blessing. When I would draw IWB, I would draw with my thumb straight down, sliding my thumb along the smooth Glock plastic grip and my skin. The hogue grip is so grippy that my thumb would get hung up. I switched to a draw where I grip with my fingers and ride my thumb straight up the grip and hook my thumb over the top of the gun and the rear site ( most instructors teach this method for appendix IWB draw ). Once the gun clears the holster, your thumb slides down naturally into place. As a side note, I found that this type of draw to be far superior and allowed me to have the highest possible grip when executed.

Easy to install, quality material, comfortable in my hand, fits like a glove, durable enough not to crack or tear when I slid them on, and for an affordable sidearm accessory/add-on, they look pretty good too.

This is my first Glock didn’t like the gen 3 with the finger grips so I went with the gen 5 and purchased these hogue grips and I love them. Feels perfect with these fellas on!!! Perfect fit

GREAT GRIP...CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE AND HELPS KEEP THE FIREARM SECURE IN YOUR HAND WHILE FIRING...nice recoil absorption and get your sights back on target! ONE PIECE OF ADVICE ON INSTALLING....I BOILED WATER TO BETWEEN 80 TO 100 DEGREES POURED IT INTO A LARGE BEER MUG AND SOAKED THIS THING IN THE WATER FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES...THEN TOOK IT OUT WITH A PAIR OF TONGS SPRAYED THE INSIDE WITH WINDEX AND SLID IT ON THE HANDLE...NOW IT'S TIGHT, SO ONCE YOU SLOWLY GET THE EDGES ALL AROUND THE BASE AND START NUDGING IT UPWARD, THE RUBBER SHOULD BE NICE AND WORKABLE TO WHERE YOU CAN SLIDE IT UP, ONE SIDE AFTER THE OTHER, UNTIL YOU GET IT IN PLACE, ROTATE IT A LITTLE (MAYBE) UNTIL IT'S JUST RIGHT. IF YOU SOAK IT ENOUGH YOU DON'T NEED PLIERS. I BOUGHT THREE OF THESE ONE FOR EACH PISTOL AND FOR THE FIRST ONE I USED PLIERS ON MY G27 WITHOUT WATER, WARMING, OR WINDEX AND THE PLIERS RIPPED THE RUBBER ALL UP...SO NOW I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER ONE FOR MY G27 AND TRY AGAIN AFTER I STARTED TO GET THE HANG OF THIS AND GET MY RHYTHM GOING - FOR MY OTHER TWO (G23 AND G19) I WAS ABLE TO SLIDE ON FAIRLY EASILY ONCE I GOT THAT SYSTEM IN PLACE! READ THE REVIEWS OF THOSE WHO DID THIS BEFORE ME...TRUST ME, IT WORKS! GOOD LUCK! AGAIN GREAT GRIP!

You should soak this product in hot water before you attempt to install.

First off i ordered it for my new Glock 48 sub compact 9mm & it fits even though it's not super snugg it fits well enough that I don't have any issues with it not staying in place ! But to make sure it doesn't move around i used a tiny drop of contact cement on the grip sleeve & the gun grip & if i decide to take it off at any time cleanup won't harm the sleeve or the gun grip !! I've fired over 30 rounds of full metal jacket target rounds & no issues whatsoever & it's alot more comfortable in my hand now & makes it easier to hold with the sleeve having the slight buldge on each side to create a more secure grip if you have to carry your weapon for any length of time before holestering it !!

Was tight getting put on the pistol but with a hair dryer it right on.

This was a pain to install, but reasonable. Directions say to boil in water and then use Windex to help get it on, however I didn’t want a mess all over so I only boiled the grip for 2 minutes on high and worked it on that way. FYI I installed on a SCT 19 frame and it fits great with zero issues.
