Where can I find a XD rubber grip? Bought one today and like an idiot forgot about the grip safety, didn't fit my gun.

mine is a hogue slip on grip and i just had to trim off like 1 inch for the safety 10 bucks

Just trim the grip down a bit, that's what others have had to do. Some seem like they trim a slot in the back of the grip to make it go up around the grip safety. I trimmed mine straight across so it all sits below the grip safety. I don't know that anyone makes a slip on rubber grip that you won't have to trim to make it work properly. Only other solution is to get the stick on grips like the skateboard tape option, or the A-grip stick on.

And if you choose to trim it, make sure to use a sharp razor blade. Anytime you need to make a corner in your cuts, make sure you do them rounded, not sharp. that will help prevent it from ripping.

Ya snake, I got the Houge or Rogue one, whatever it's called. I think I'll do the same and try to trim it, thanks for the tip too Jed.

should look something like this if you cut the saftey part out

Think I overdid it, I need to get a camera. Yours looks about 8x better.

its wierd when i did it i had the safety depressed behind the grip and used the safety itself as a guide to keep it straight. when i got to the bottom and the safety was released and the grip stretched a little more i was like crap i messed it up but when i cut the bottom piece off it shifted nicely and sits where u see it.

I pretty much cut a big U from where your middle finger is in that picture, to the top of your palm. W/e I can buy another one it was only 10 bucks. I think I made it that big because my hand felt weird with the grip + grip safety.
