Description
This Hogue grip is built from thermoplastic elastomer that's molded differently than standard rubber, giving you a softer feel without being spongy or tacky. The real difference shows up when you're actually shooting. The synthetic material absorbs recoil comfortably while keeping your hand firmly in control, and it resists the oils and solvents you use during cleaning and maintenance.
Designed for Better Control
The beavertail sits higher on the receiver and cushions your hand during recoil, which lets you get a higher grip on the gun for faster follow-up shots. Finger grooves are molded to position your fingers naturally, and gentle palm swells create an ergonomic shape that fits most hand sizes. The whole design works together to improve your control and reduce hand fatigue during longer shooting sessions.
Texture That Actually Works
The cobblestone pattern covers the surface with a textured stippling that grips even when your hands are sweaty or gloved. It's designed to be aggressive enough to keep you locked in without being irritating to your skin. This texture doesn't wear smooth over time like cheaper grips, so you get consistent control whether you're at the range or in demanding conditions.
Built to Last
The grip sits on a reinforcing insert that engages directly with your rifle's frame, creating a rock-solid fit with zero movement. The material itself ages gracefully, meaning it won't deteriorate or come apart, and it shrugs off whatever gun oils, solvents, and environmental exposure you throw at it. This is a grip that works the same way five years from now as it does the day you install it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace my grip screw when I install this Hogue beavertail grip?
No, this grip uses your existing factory grip screw. The grip is designed to work with the standard screw that came with your rifle, so you don't need to buy anything extra. Just remove your old grip and swap it in.
How does the beavertail design actually improve shooting?
The beavertail sits higher on the receiver and cushions your hand during recoil, letting you place your grip higher on the gun. This higher hand position improves control and makes your follow-up shots faster and more accurate. The cushioning also reduces felt recoil, which helps with comfort on longer shooting sessions.
Will this grip work well if I shoot with gloves?
Yes, the cobblestone texture is specifically designed for gloved shooting. The pattern provides a non-slip surface whether your hands are bare, gloved, or wet. The finger grooves help position your fingers properly even with gloves on, giving you consistent control.
How is Hogue's rubber different from other grip materials?
Hogue uses a modern thermoplastic elastomer that requires a completely different molding process than standard neoprene. The result is a grip that's soft and recoil-absorbing without being spongy or tacky, and it resists deterioration from oils, solvents, and age far better than cheaper rubber compounds. It maintains its feel and grip quality for years.
