I bought a grip sleeve for my Sigma but haven't been out to shoot it yet so i was wondering do they make that much of a difference when shooting it. I'm not sure if i like it yet when just handleing it but we'll find out when we get to the range i guess.

I put a set onto my Ruger Super Red Hawk and love the difference. Even though it is a large, heavy revolver, recoil could be a hand full. The grips made it much easier to control. But I would geuss that you may have a different result since your hands are probably different than mine and you are talking about a semi-auto pistol with a fairly straight grip. Hope it works for you.

I put a set on my ruger P89. They feel real good & made the gun work better for me.

I put one on my G19, after 30 mins of pulling and pushing...lol yea I liked the way it felt when I was shooting at the outdoor range. When it get's hot and your palms get alittle sweaty it's nice to have the extra grip. I plan on buying second one for my G32.:)

Grip sleaves are OK, but for concealed carry they add about 1/4 inch (or more) thickness to the gun.

I put a grip sleave on my Glock 30, and while I liked it a lot, it petty much made my thick gun into an even thicker gun. Definately a no-go for CCW with my G30.

Wow after playing with it at the range today they make a impressive difference. Well worth the fight of getting it on. The thickness doesn't make that much of a difference in concealed carry it makes the grip the same width of my leather holster so it ain't bad. Recoil now i can't even tell its there. My aim well lol the went alot better at 50 yards the 5 holes touched compared to me hardly hitting the five inch circle at that range with it:) so i am really happy with them they make gun control a little easier. I will recommend them to anybody i see.

Depends on how you dress and how active you are while carrying. I couldn't conceal 99.9% of leather holsters out there *without* the gun.

I've tried the slip on thingies on a couple of guns and always quickly took them off. Thankfully they seem to come off easier than they went on :)

OTOH most Hogue replacements for removable grips I really do like.
