I put them on my Shield 9 and they are very nice. Makes for a good solid grip feel. They are very tight fitting and I had to fight to get them on. I used Windex as a lubricant and a lot of finger power.

I have those on my Kel Tec PF9,Walther PPS, and Ruger LCPII.

Like those better than the original Hogue Handall.

They are however, just a little thicker than the Hogue Handalls, but much more durable.

Put one on my GF's 9mm Shield and one on my son's Bersa Thunder 380.
GF decided she didn't like it so we took it off the Shield.
On the Bersa, I thought the Hogue grip would help with the "snappyness" and make it more comfortable to shoot.
While the added circumference allowed for a better grip on the gun, it didn't really help with the overall unpleasantness of shooting the gun.
Gave the Bersa back to my son & I don't know if he left the grip on or took it off.

I like it on my Shield .45, wife and daughters prefer the Talon grip.

I have a granulated rubber Talon on my Shield .40, which I've been happy with.

Put one on and hated it. It changed the way the grip feels to me in very bad way. Gave it to buddie and he hated it also.

Never liked how the grip felt on my shield so I got the hogue slip on. Anything you put on a grip will change how a grip feels that's common sense. I'm happy with the slip on. Takes away the harsh feel of the original shield grip and doesn't slide around when I'm shooting the gun.

Seems like that curl would force a person's hand down and away from the slide action and the centerline of the bore, counter to what we try to achieve when attempting to hold as high as possible. Maybe it's more friendly for folks with big meaty paws (slide bite...ouch), but those of us with dainty lil' mitts (me me) that so-called 'beavertail' would appear to be of little to no value. 'Sides, I never like the Handall II in the first place, which I assume the rest of which remains intact for this iteration? The cancer tumor palm swells, the pokey finger groove ridge...naw, I can definitely still do without.

I have small hands and I don't find the beavertail grip or the grip shape deters at all from rapid and accurate shooting. I shoot much better with the grip installed. If you haven't tried them I think you should. They're cheap enough.

Well.....thanks for all the info. I received the grip sleeve today.....after getting it on....as for my hand size and grip, I love it. Haven't shot it yet, so....I'll have to wait for my final assessment. I also got a Pierce grip extension for the seven rd. mag, and this combo works perfect for my hand size. For 9 buck's....I found it to be a worthy investment....Merry Christmas to you all.....
