Took me about 3 days to put it on. About 30 minutes each day before getting frustrated and almost launching my Glock out the window. I let the grip sit in the summer sun for an hour which helped. I don’t put the grip in hot water as houge does not recommend this. You can use solvents and such to help wiggle it in but that will just cake up in time. After a few weeks of trying out this grip I ended up just cutting it off with a blade. This grip is good if you have big gorilla hands but if you have regular human sized hands and feel like the stock grip is already too bulky then don’t buy this.
Wow what a tribulation. Many others have the same problems, I am beginning to think perhaps some of them shrink sitting in the package in the warehouse etc. But yes, there is no magic cure all for grip, and it doesn’t particularly help smaller hands
Took me less than 15 mns to put it on
Do the same thing that you do with bicycle grips, spray hand sanitizer alcohol on the grip first

@@stanleylzz8705I expected the worst experience ever, it took me longer for the prep than it did for the install. Using windex as expressed by Hogue and determination I had it on in about 5 minutes.
Good video ! I've installed several of these on pistols for myself and for friends. Like you, I just "muscle" them on. Don't use any tools and I wouldn't use window cleaner. Too messy and I don't want it on my guns. It just takes some patients and time. I've never ripped them. I just installed a Houge mono- grip on a single six my dad gave me. Now they were a bear!!! The grips went on pretty easy. But it took me a good 2 hours to get the screw on the bottom of the grip to tighten up ! I ended up making a tool out of a paper clip and having to hold the gun above my head. That is the toughest grip I've ever installed! And, the longest time it's ever took to put grips on a gun. They sure look and feel good. But I'll never install them on another single action. I've installed the exact grip on double action revolvers. Never had that trouble with then. Oh- and I had to put a business card between the grip frame and the grips, on both sides, to keep the grips from rolling under as I slid them onto to gun. Just crazy hard honestly !
Yes once you get that motion down and you are patient it is very straightforward. Wow what a journey on the mono grip. I installed one on my Colt double action, and it was pretty easy. But at least you stuck with it to get it done, hard to find people with that kind of resolve nowadays. Your info will help if I ever run into a single action wheeler but those are rare too nowadays
@@shaunstayfree5551 I have several autos. From Hi Points to Glocks. But I've always loved revolvers- double and single action. My "always " with me gun is a SW 642 38 snub-Lady Smith. I know, I'm a 6ft, 240 lb guy, but I proudly carry my Lady. I've always wanted one and finally came across a new one a year ago. She has a slick factory action and beautifull wood grips. Only cost $30 more than the plain 642 sitting beside her on the shelf. And I've always loved cowboy guns. I've currently got 3 22 single actions, including an old German made one I've had since I was 16. I'm in my late 50's now. Its beat to death from years of honest, hard use. But it still functions just fine. I still keep it in an old cowboy belt and holster rig, loaded and ready. And I've even got an old single action-2 shot 25 ACP cowboy style derringer. As far as trudging on to get those grips on, it's kinda weird actually. After working on a vehicle for only minutes sometimes, I cuss and throw wrenches and hire someone to do the job. But I can spend hours messing with a gun to get it just like I want it. Anyway, good talking with you. I'm subbing to your channel.
@@shadowwolf7622 Haha the bullet dont care what the gun's called! I can never knock wheelers. Only drawback is capacity with the conceability of the snubs, but just make em count if God forbid it ever has to. Never see anything like those again 22 SA especially the german made, very cool,... I have a colt Anaconda, and Super Blackhawk 44m, love the blackhawk all day! Hopefully pick up a few more revolvers down the road. Thank you, God bless
One of the best how to I’ve seen. Took me maybe 3 minutes to install on my G19 Gen3
Happy shootin
@@shaunstayfree5551 Thank you and you as well
Got mine on the porch 15 minutes ago and it’s now installed. Most of the time was hearing water on the stove (cuz I’m ok’d fashioned).
It took me less than a minute to manhandle it onto my Swith & Wesson M&P Shield. I used a kitchen butter knife to get it started. I’ve now read the directions and wish I’d read them earlier. That strip of plastic would probably work easier. If an arthritic old man can do it, so can you.
I got the M&P Shirld about 2 months ago and hat that skinny, single stack grip. The Hogue grip made it fatter. I may now learn to live this little pistol.
Hard to get plastic strips out
I presume you mean that it’s hard to get the Hogue grip stretched over pistol grip. It absolutely is. The first time, I used a butter knife to help guide it over the edge. Not sure whether that helped or hurt.
My Shield slide refused to come off the pistol and I had to send it back. Fortunately that failure happened was the same day that I’d bought it’s replacement, an M&P Plus. I took the grip off to send the Shield to send it back. Getting the grip back on the second time went much faster and smoother.
It is absolutely a learning process.
Thanks bro before watching the vid was struggling for 20 minutes. But u helped me get it on in 5.
Thanks for watching, happy to hear you got it
If you boil some water and let it sit for like a minute.. let it koo a little bit and boom it’ll a slip on in 15-30 seconds ‼️and it’ll tighten back up as it cools down and dry ..
Thanks brother watching your video help me get it on. I took a little measuring cup and I use the handle all the plastic handle of the measuring cup because it was really flexible. I stuck it in inside between the grip and the rubber sleeve and many help slide ride over those finger grips and it’s a done deal sweet very nice to have one on our 17 an hour 26 now I put one over another 17 we have thanks again man
Thank you for watching, good tool for the job!
I have Hogue grips on all my guns, the last three, I put them in hot water, and it goes on in 30 seconds, hardly no effort!👍🏾
Wow, this is a great idea! I will have to try it, thanks for sharing. Now just need a new pistol to get another grip ;)
Soak in coffee cup of hot water for about 2 minutes. Then spray handle and inside of grip with rubbing alcohol. Sides right on. 👍🏼✌🏼
@@thews9237 I’m fascinated by how ingenious people are I have counted at least 25 methods to get these things on. Another really good tip thank you
Look all you have to do is spray the gun handle with winded and the inside of the grip slides right on. Let it sit for a few minutes done!
Spray with Windex
Thanks I'll try
You can also use hair blower to warm it up to become stretchy..
Heat with a hair dryer then use hair spray as lube. Hairspray will lock it in place.
Baby powder! The guy at my local gun store put mine on with baby powder slid right on . Took a can of compressed air an blew it out after install. Took him less then 2 min
Wow thats a great tip. Thanks for sharing. I will try it next time. I imagine graphite will work too now that you brought this to mind.
heated mine up in a can of boiling water. came on with ease.
Spoon handle or butter knife works great
How about the ever trusty stand by most folks have under their bed, KY jelly. It’s water based and hypoallergenic. I think it’s better than using windex with ammonia. Petroleum based lubricants are no no since they won’t dry out. You grip will be moving.
😂😂
If its heated up enough does it fit over a gen 4 with a medium backstrap?
i used alittle gun oil on the inside of the grip an on the grip frame an it slid right on super easy
That’s a good tip. Little bita earl always helps
Wow I’d never use my gun oil. It doesn’t evaporate.
Use alcohol
I did a little hand sanny works fine usually
Dish washing liquid (small amount)
Good video 👍. Btw, the guy who invented these uses window cleaner before sliding them on but what does he know, he's just the inventor of them 😂.
These things work well but they are ridiculously hard to get on
Thanks man 👍 great video!
Thanks, and thank you for watching
Have you tried out the sleeve in very hot water to make it stretch easier?
I have not since I read someone tore theirs like that. Is that what you do?
Can’t find any of these in Europe and hogue charge $60 delivery for a $15 grip! 😂
Might be a new business idea for you import a grip of grips
Can I remove and re use it later if I want to remove it? And do I just pull it off?
Yep totally reusable. Just be careful to not rip it coming off, but it’s slightly easier to take off than put on.
Why not just use at least 1 of the suggestions like windex
Took me about almost an hour to install by boiling the grip in hot water
Oh man, I am sorry to hear that. Darn thing can be stubborn I had a tough time the first one I did
Used a shot of Armor All !
Got on my canik da in like 2 minutes
I just bought one but forgot to check and see if this will fit over an already installed xtra back strap on the Glock
If you mean the larger insert backstrap, it should go on with some extra loving and perhaps a blow dryer to soften the rubber even more. but you may want to start with the smaller backstrap to see how it feels first with this grip as it could
Get too Chunky largest backstrap plus this
Took me near 30 minutes get this darn thing on
Sorry to hear, usually they are pretty easy maybe they changed them a bit
I just put one on and I as wondering about the hump
Has the beaver tail helped anyone who's experienced pain on their thumb knuckle, due to recoil?
It will give a tiny separation, maybe 1/16th of an inch, but if your thumb knuckle rides high this won’t help much. I have had slide bite on my thumb knuckle a few times from gripping too high, just had to take some time to look closely at my grip and dry fire and rack the slide and find what works for a good grip that doesn’t ride too high. This grip might help a bit but it won’t cure
@@shaunstayfree5551 Thanks for explaining.
Will they fit on polymer 80s
Yes, just pick the correct Gen for the grip
@@shaunstayfree5551 ok thank I was was wondering because polymer 80 percent guns don’t have the Glock hump more like a 1911
@@bluebear2941 if you mean front finger groves, that matches by the Gen. but I’m not sure if the polymer 80 finger groves are the same as the Glock frames by Gen.
@@shaunstayfree5551 polymer 80 as in ghost gun not the Glock brand new one
@@bluebear2941 yes, I see there are no finger groves on the p80 so no issue there and the hump rear should fit fine. My suggestion is to get the hogue grip that does not come with finger grooves matching the frame size of your p80 (compact etc)
How do you take it off though?
Heat, spoon, get liquid under, rocking it back and forth off slowly
Spray some hairspray in the inside of the grip and slide it on. Trust me, you will thank me later.
does this work on glock 17 gen 5?
@@kobe05_22 get the gen5 model and it will
Does this grip fit on a glock 19??
Yes they make a version for g19 as well
WD40 is your best friend...lol
I’m thinking about getting one for a Glock 17 gen 5 will it fit? Also the gen 5 don’t have finger grooves will it still support?
Get the gen5 version. They make one specific. Be careful it’s easy to order the wrong one
A little hot water Bub
Is it good for smaller hands on a 17 like so
I think it will be worth trying. Its more about the shape of the hand versus the size. Its cheap enough that you can try it and see how it feels
@@shaunstayfree5551 thanks bro
Does this work on Glock 21?
Sure, just get the g21 version for your gen here’s a gen4 amzn.to/3Lyjk49
@@shaunstayfree5551 thanks 🙏
Fits a 40 ?
Yes it does
Put it In hot water
The directions on the box are the easiest way to go as long as you do not mind cutting up the box
That gun need oil my boii, plus put that in hot water to put that shit on easily⛓
Use a hair drier lol you talked as if it was bam in a snap but you sped the video up lol
I really only cut the video when I went off camera for like 20 seconds to save the viewer the watch time. Otherwise it gets easier the second time and I’ve done several now., I can jam them on real quick after doing a few, but filming actually slowed me down a bit here. Usually I don’t use anything or any added heat, but my first one I used a skinny ruler with no sharp edges
So hood
Use spit to install
🤪🤪
Would that fit a Glock 20
amzn.to/3FGk0Dw
This one says it works with g20
Quite frankly I think the design sux….
They made the center bulge out and it feels like you are now holding a broom handle.. if HAUGE had not added the extra
Budge to it would have been great. Waste of money .did not like this one and was very disappointed…the 19 one is not to bad but it would have been better without the battle of the bulge ..
@@johnbrown4937 some hands need that extra girth 😙😙
@@shaunstayfree5551
If the extra padding was left out it would be the ultimate grip .i have large hands and it’s not about that .more like turning a paddle into a broom handle…
@@johnbrown4937 you might like the stick on ones better
Bro you already have finger groves on ya Glock. Why buy this? I only bought mine for my Glock 23 gen 5 because they don’t have finger groves.
It’s for the better texture, increased thickness and the beaver tail on the hogue helps my grip. Glocks are like plastic Chonky bricks, so anything that helps the ergos
@@shaunstayfree5551 I mean I guess lol
