I have the Packmayr grip sleeve/glove on a LCP, does help. I ordered it on-line and the mailing cost as much as the sleeve.

As you can see... I have placed the grips on the rear portion of the slide and lower. I did not complete the back strap until I'm sure of the size I'm going with. I Also have the ability to complete the set around the thumb area as well as the front portion of the slide.

The alternative option with these guns is to of course stipple them, but this process takes FOREVER as I did it on my Glock (before I was reborn an XD). I will give the grip sleeves a whirl and if I don't like them I will call a guy I know that does the stippling professionally (and have him do my wife's first). I actually told my dad about them as he is a HUGE Pachmayr fan and I think he is buying them as Christmas gifts so I won't have the review up until after the big day.

I have the Pachmayr grip sleeves on my CZ Phantom and my Taurus PT 92. They work great!!! Want them on my XDS. I do have long fingers so they work for me.

Tried one a few years ago, Stretched the hell out of it trying to put it on etc. Even warmed it with a hair dryer to see if that would help & it did not.? got disscusted & in the garbage it went. A waste of good $$$$$$$$ Since then I put on the rubber pieces of grip tape that they sell for XD's & Glocks etc. Work great not ever any more problems with it.

I have these on all of my other semi auto handguns, and they work great. I own an XDM 3.8, 9mm which does not have these grips. This gun pits me perfectly out of the box. The grip and ergonomics of the XDm was one of the main reasons I purchased it after trying many similar guns ( along with all of th M Features). Try the grips, they cost little, are easy to install and remove, do nothing permanent or harmful to your firearm. If you do not care for them you are not out much $. It was refreshing to buy something that came with all of the needed accessories and did not immediately require any "mods".
Just my 2 cents.

Was that the Hogue one's? The Pachmayr slip on grips are very pliable. Does not take all that!
