WTB: rubber-wrap grip for Glock 17 and AR-15

**thirtyonebravo** · September 22nd, 2007, 10:22 PM

I'm looking for the rubber grip that I believe just wraps around the Glock 17's grip, and also one for an AR-15. The Glock is of the latest generation model I believe, with finger grooves in the front.

These wraparound grips may feel good but my personal experience is that they slide and move (it happened to me in a 3 day pistol training class).

I forget who makes the stick on kind decal grips which are a bit better but start to peel with time and considerable usage.

I have learned to use my Glocks as they are but had to run through a couple of the rubber grips just to see.

Can't stand the glock grip without the hogue slip on grips.

A little rubber cement cures the slipping problem.

Wow some one is making a lot of money on rubber tubing for bikes!!! At $9.00 per 2 inch, you could get a whole bunch from one mountain bike intertube.

I have seen more people put on skate board covering on glocks then rubber, but one i saw that I thought was pretty neet was skate board tape, then the rubber tubing on top. This gave the rubber a texture where the tape was under, but as Glocks are already pretty bulky in MHO I saw it as interesting but too large for me.

Yeah I have had the Hogue wraparound grips on my Ruger for years and it is has never moved. I made sure to really clean the heck outta the gun frame first before putting it on and make sure your hands are sweaty or anything like that, but I would think if you keep it dry it shouldn't slip much if at all. The one I have was a REALLY tight fit and a real bear to get on.

oh duh ok heh, yeah I should have realized that Hogue makes them too.

yeah, I have the screw on side grips on two of my sigs. as much as they look beautiful with wood trim or factory plastic with OEM logos on the grips, the rubber ones work the best in a practical use.
