The Hogue 18403 HandAll Beavertail Grip Sleeve transforms compact pistol handling with enhanced control and reduced felt recoil. This textured rubber sleeve addresses the common issue of inadequate grip surface on factory compact frames. The Flat Dark Earth finish provides tactical aesthetics while delivering superior functionality.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic grip tape or permanent modifications, the HandAll sleeve installs without tools or adhesives while providing comprehensive coverage. The proprietary rubber compound maintains flexibility in extreme temperatures while offering aggressive texturing that performs in wet conditions. The beavertail extension reduces slide bite and creates a higher grip position for improved recoil management compared to standard compact frames.
