Hogue Handall sleeve for USP.

I put the Handall sleeve on the USP .45 today. It wasn't too big a deal. At first, I thought it might be an impossible endeavor. But only after a little while, I could tell it was going on with some ease.
Overall, it wasn't too bad. This accessory does increase the girth of the USP butt, which is already quite thick. But if your hands are big enough, I say go for it.
It's only $8 or $9, and it not only will relieve the irritation from the deeply checkered butt, but it will help protect the "finish" of the polymer.
And the contoured finger grooves gives it a cool look. Can't wait to shoot it this weekend.

i have them on all of my USPs and my Mark23 and love them. they do take a few mins and a bit of cursing to get them on, but the are well worth it.
I have one on my 40f. Not advised for anyone with less than enormous hands.
You know what they say: big hands...OK for a handall.

Although I didn't try it, an effective trick would probably be using an hair dryer on it prior to installation.
Good thinking Jeff. Or soak it in very hot water, which is a trick I learned to get strain reliefs onto SCUBA hoses. You think Hand-All's are a bitch...

If soaking it in hot water to make things easy, first put it in a ziplock sandwich bag and squeeze all the air out. This keeps water from getting trapped between the grip and frame. ;)

My fullsize USP .45 is just right without the Handall, but it made a world of difference on my USP Compact 9mm. The little 9 is much more comfortable to shoot now. :)

I don't have very big hands, but I LOVE the handall on my USP .45 compact. On a suggestion from someone at TFL i believe, I sprayed windex on it to give it a 'lil slip for ease of installation. Made it a _little_ less impossible to get on.
