What model? That "HandALL"? Does it obstruct the grip safety?

I used the Hogue Handall and yes it does interfere with the grip safety a little but it is easily remedied by cutting a notch in the top of the grip where the safety is. Works great and feels great..

+1. Though it tents to look like faux ostrich skin, it feels great in my hands. You can see in this picture how I cut the sleeve to allow room for the grip safety. I decided to cut more than the notch because after much use, the grip sleeve tends to move around and sometimes covered the grip safety keeping it pressed in.

I'm not using a rubber grip. I'm using AGrip from Brooks Tactical. It is by far, the single best pistol grip product that I've ever tried. I have extraordinarily sweaty hands (primary palmar hyperhidrosis) and the AGrip gives solid traction and control over the weapon without the abrasiveness of skate tape or the added thickness of a rubber grip.
