I'm interested in the Hogue Handall Full Size Grip Sleeve for less than $10. In addition to the grips I'm looking to change the sights from the factory issued to the XS Express Sights. I'm a good shot with the factory sights but want to try these out for faster sight acquisition.
If you've had any experience with either or both of these products I would appreciate any feedback you have.
other than heat stippling the grip, I think the A-Grip is the best solution for increasing traction on a Glock grip. Skateboard tape will work too, but is almost too much extra traction (feels like sandpaper). That said ...

After trying EVERYTHING on my Glocks for years, this is what I finally settled on too. It was intimidating at first. But I practiced on the near useless "speedloader" Glock provides with the gun (or the box if you prefer), and also some other random polymer items I had until I got a consistent pattern that was easy to do and I could replicate. Obviously, there's a chance you could void your warranty doing this so that's definitely a consideration. But I've never heard of this actually happening to someone.
Anyway, here's some additional info on stippling the grip ... viewtopic.php?f=82&t=33861&hilit=stippling" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
