Description
The Ruger LCP II is a great deep-carry .380, but its skinny grip and light weight make it a handful when the range session runs long. This Hogue HandAll Beavertail sleeve fixes the two biggest complaints in one shot: it fattens up the grip so you get more of your hand on the gun, and it adds real rubber padding where the pistol needs it most. The finished color here is a bright aqua blue that stands out from the usual black and gray, so it doubles as a way to personalize a plain little carry gun.
What the Beavertail Design Does for the LCP II
The standout feature is right there in the name. The beavertail rises high along the backstrap and puts rubber between the web of your hand and the moving slide, which cuts down on the slide bite that plenty of LCP II owners run into. Riding higher on the grip also puts your hand closer to the bore line, so the little .380 feels more controllable shot to shot. The wider rubber spreads recoil across a broader area, and folks who have run boxes of ammo through a sleeved LCP II report a noticeably more pleasant range trip than shooting the bare gun.
Texture and Feel of the HandAll Grip Sleeve
Hogue wraps the sleeve in their well-known Cobblestone texture, paired with a top finger groove and gentle palm swells that fill the hand naturally. The result is a tackier, more secure hold that keeps the pistol from twisting when it goes off. It is molded from a durable thermoplastic elastomer that shrugs off moisture, heat, and solvents, so it holds up to daily carry and cleaning without getting slick or gummy.
Installing Your Hogue HandAll on the LCP II
Installation is a slip-on job with no tools and no permanent changes to the gun. These newer HandAll sleeves fit tight on purpose, which is why they stay put instead of rotating like older sleeves did. The trick most people swear by is warming the rubber with a hair dryer first, then working it onto the frame at an angle and pushing it home. Warm it up, take your time, and it seats cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Hogue HandAll Beavertail sleeve fit my Ruger LCP II?
Yes. This sleeve is molded specifically for the Ruger LCP II and is designed to hug the contours of that frame for a tight, secure fit. Keep in mind it is made for the LCP II, not the original LCP or the LCP MAX, so double-check your model before ordering.
How do I install the HandAll grip sleeve without tearing it?
It slips on with no tools and no changes to the gun. The sleeve fits tight by design, so warming the rubber with a hair dryer first makes a big difference. Once it is warm, work it onto the frame at an angle and push it firmly into position until it seats.
Does the beavertail actually help with slide bite and recoil?
It does. The beavertail rises high on the backstrap and puts rubber between your hand and the slide, which helps prevent the slide bite the LCP II is known for. The wider rubber also spreads recoil across more of your hand, making the snappy little .380 more comfortable to shoot.
Can I still carry the LCP II in my pocket with this sleeve on?
You can, though it is worth knowing the sleeve adds some bulk to the grip since it thickens the frame and extends the beavertail. Most people find the trade-off in control well worth it, but if you carry in a snug pocket holster you may want to try your setup and confirm it still draws cleanly.
