Hogue HandAll Beavertail Rubber Grip Sleeve for Ruger LCP II

Fits perfect and feels really nice in my hand!

I was dreading the installation, but the directions were clear and there are good videos online. Boiled it, stretched it some, used the plastic shoehorn trick, and it just took a couple minutes. Without the grip installed, I always thought that the LCP felt like a Pez dispenser. Didn't fill my hand well, and I could easily imagine fumbling it in a defensive situation. This eliminates the Pez dispenser feeling, and makes for a MUCH better draw from my paddle holster. Feels much more secure. Should've gotten one of these a long time ago.

The texture on the Ruger LCP II is very good. BUT, the grip is very small, and has "square shoulders". If you have a single stack sub compact to achieve as small a grip as possible, you may not need this. If you desire a bit more purchase on the handle, this may be a better option than grip tape.I barely have room for 2 fingers on the grip (stock). I wasn't sure whether the ergonomic fit would take up valuable real estate (the little bump molded to fit in between fingers). It does not. It still fits great. This gives the grip a little more width, and rounds out the shoulders, making it much more comfortable. I have 3 holsters for this weapon (pocket, inside waste band, and outside waste band). I've tried this grip in all 3, and have noticed no interference. This is with the extended grip (which on the LCP II is only a lip on the front of the magazine).Install - be prepared for a fight. Definately follow the instructions on the package. Those little strips that you cut out of the packaging are the difference between success and failure. While this can be frustrating, it is important that the fit is tight enough to ensure the grip will not move during use. I have Hogue grips on several pistols, and have never had an issue with them slipping during use.

The LCP & LCP II both have narrow grip circumferences and somewhat slippery. This slip on solves both problems in very comfortable way. Be sure & heat up the grip sleeve, I held mine over a hot stove burner with tongs, before trying to install or it won't stretch enough to easily slide on.

This Hogue grip sleeve is great for making the grip on the Ruger LCP II 22 a little bigger and easier to hold. It fits fine and the one finger notch is helpful. I've combined it with the Tandom Kross Wingman 4 mag extension which allows all fingers to grip the gun and adds 4 more .22 rounds. This makes the LCP II much easier to hold. This was easier to install than advertised. I soaked it in boiling water and put the LCP II in the freezer. Then I spread a thin coat of synthetic gun grease on the handle and grip and slid it on. It hasn't slipped back off.

Although this isn't the easiest to install, it's well worth the effort. As one who likes bigger handles on things, (think hammers) I have to say this grip is a most appreciated modification to my LCP-2.As for the installation, I've tried twice. I tore the first one. I suspect I either let it cool too much or didn't heat it up enough. On my first attempt I used a heat gun to soften the grip. On my second attempt I used boiling water. That coupled with window cleaner as a lube allowed the grip to be installed with not much trouble. I found the shoehorn strips to be more in the way than they were helpful. Having a glove to handle the hot grip also helped.As for the grip, it's thicker than I expected and took a little getting used to. After a short time I really started to like it. One other thing I'll do is to order a 7 round magazine to eliminate the pinky gap at the bottom of the mag. My ring finger wants to fall off into it. (I've done this on my LCP and it helped the grip quite a bit.)EDIT: The 7 round magazine was a mistake. It's too big and the weight throws the gun's balance off for pocket carry. It does allow for a better grip and will be my spare carry mag.

Worked as it should. Highly recommend. Easy to put on

Makes this pistol fit my hand much better. Very comfortable. Lets you get a much better grip on this very small gun. Does take a bit of work to get it on but once you do you dont have to worry about it sliding off.
