RaceNJason's Review of Hogue Handall Beavertail Grip Handgun Grip Sleeve
If you have good finger strength, this doesn't take much to install (if you don't, you should consider the tape on type over this). Took me about 5 minutes total (counting heating up the water). Steps I took:
1. Filled up 2 cup measuring cup with the hotest water out of my tap, then I put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes
2. Got several dish towels to set my gun on, got Windex, setup next to the sink
3. Took hot water out of microwave and put the grip (for Glock G43) into it, flipped it around several times because it floats
4. Took it out after about a minute and aggressively shook dry (not toweled - don't want lint inside of it).
5. Put the grip over the sink and drenched the inside with Windex. Put the Glock over the sink and lightly sprayed the handle using my hands to smear it around. NOTE: This is on a brand new Glock G43. If yours is not brand new, please clean the handle BEFORE starting this.
6. Place the Glock on the towels (keeping one spare on the side) and starting with the backside of the handle, pushed it just far enough that I could then pull it over the frontside (took maybe 2 tries). At that point it's about shimming it back to front.
7. You'll find at some point it will stop progressing (most likely because your wet hands can't grip it enough anymore). Grab that spare towel and wrap it around the grip and continue shimming it back and forth pushing down.
8. Push till it's lined up around the magazine well, push the beavertail up nice and tight, rotate so it is inline, leave it alone for a day now.
Let's face it, do you want a sleeve that is 'easy' to put on only for it to be loose and unreliable?? I definitely won't say this slipped on, but for the amount of effort (and following the right steps) along with what I expected from it, I'd say it's great and definitely worth the price! My Glock G43 has a reasonable grip on it now.
Final Note: You can see many YouTube videos of others actually doing these same steps (somewhat - some don't use the hot water method, but all I believe use the Windex).
