The Glock 42 and 43 are great little carry guns, but that skinny factory grip leaves a lot of hand hanging off the bottom, especially if you've got medium to large mitts. This Hogue HandAll Beavertail slips right over the polymer frame and gives you something to actually hold onto. The rubber adds a bit of thickness and tack, the finger grooves put your fingers where they belong, and the raised beavertail fills the web of your hand so the slide has less chance to bite you higher up on the grip.
Hogue molds these from a soft but durable thermoplastic elastomer and wraps the whole thing in their Cobblestone texture, which gives you a non-slip, non-irritating hold that doesn't chew up your palm over a long range session. The material shrugs off the oils and solvents you'll run into around firearms, so it holds up well over time and ages gracefully instead of getting gummy or breaking down. The purple finish is a nice bonus too if you run more than one small Glock and want to tell them apart at a glance.
The beavertail is the real selling point here. On a subcompact, your hand tends to ride high and close to the slide, and that combo of thin grip plus recoil is where a lot of folks feel discomfort in the webbing between thumb and trigger finger. The raised beavertail cushions that spot and pushes your hand into a more natural, repeatable position, which helps with both comfort and control shot to shot.
Fair warning, this is a tight fit by design, and that's what keeps it locked in place once it's on. Most people warm the sleeve up first with a hair dryer or a soak in hot water to soften the rubber, then work it over the frame. A little dish soap or window cleaner as a lubricant helps it slide on, and it wipes clean after. Take your time and it goes on in a few minutes. Once it's seated, it stays put and won't leave behind sticky residue like tape grips do when you eventually pull it off.
It's a precision fit for the Glock 42 and Glock 43. Hogue also lists it as fitting a handful of other slim polymer pistols like the Beretta 85, Bersa Thunder 380, FN FNS-9 Compact, HK45 Compact, Mossberg MC1SC, and several Walther PPK/PPS models. If you're putting it on something other than a 42 or 43, expect to fine tune the fit.
It's a snug fit by design, which is exactly what keeps it from shifting once it's on. Most people warm the rubber with a hair dryer or hot water and use a little dish soap or window cleaner as a lube to work it over the frame. Take your time and it usually goes on in just a few minutes.
That's the main reason to grab this one over a plain sleeve. The raised beavertail cushions the web of your hand and lets you ride the grip higher without the slide nipping you, which is a common complaint on small guns. Folks with medium to larger hands tend to notice the biggest improvement in comfort and control.
No. Unlike tape-style grips, the Hogue rubber slips off clean without leaving behind sticky residue on your frame. The material also resists the oils and solvents you run into around firearms, so it holds up over the long haul.
