I Think I am a Hogue Grip Junkie

I have hogue grips on my Bushy AR, Both my CZ's (97 and 75BD) as will as the ones on my Kahr K9 which come on the gun. I like the feel of them.
I was considering getting an Olive Drab XD 9, and I wondered if anyone know if they make one of those Hogue grips that stretch around the handle. I have seen these on Glocks. Anyone do this to their XD, or know if there is one that works?

I think there would be a problem with the grip safety unless you were able to cut a portion of the rear grip away and still have enough material so it gripped the gun.

Unfortunately (at least in my experience with the Hogue slip-on grip) once you get a split or any sort of seperation in the grip, it eventually splits all the way down.

But I confess that I too am a Hogue-aholic. My K40 is so dressed, as has every other pistol I've ever owned that had removeable grips.

Unfortunately, I don't like the slip-on grips on my USP45, as it makes the grip just a tad too big for my comfort. If it just didn't have the palm swells!

You're not truly a Hogue junkie until you have one of these:

You are right Sisco, I am not yet a Hogue junkie. I bet they make a fine toilet seat. Maybe they could rig those on the benches at the shooting range to ensure that no one slips off their seat in the event of an earth quake. Not to mention the fact that everyone would shoot better due to the comfort level.

If you want a slip on grip without the palm swell try a Pachmayr (sp ?) same concept no swell.
