I'm thinking about adding a grip sleeve to my XD9 so I'd like to find out what's available on the market today and to hear your feedback on your experience/preference.

I've got Pachmayr on mine and like it alot. Fits like a glove - no cutting required.

Scrub your gun extremely well with isopropanol alcohol, as well as the grip sleeve. While they are still a tad wet, slip it on. When the alcohol evaporates, it will create a very tight fit and never slip. This worked for me, and I can even clean it with CLP and the grip doesn't budge.

Thanks, I'll try that in a few hours. My hands are large and I really like the way the hogue feels on my sc.

I tried one, didn't dig it. Going to have it stippled.

+1

I like the feel, I think I will try the alcohol suggestion. Is that just "rubbing alcohol"???

Here you go:

I've shoot around 450 rounds since putting on the sleeve. No movement at all.

ajames let me try all that he had a few years back and the hogue was a joke cause it was all loose at the grip safety. The only one I liked was the pachmyr and I have it on upside down.. I had it right side up for a few years, tried it upside down recently and left it that way.
