Description
The A2 grip that comes on most AR-15s does the job, but it leaves plenty of room for improvement. Hogue's OverMolded grip is one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your rifle, swapping that hollow, hard plastic for a soft rubber surface that fills your palm and stays put no matter the conditions. It's built around a rigid fiberglass-reinforced skeleton that's completely wrapped in rubber, so you get durability underneath and comfort where your hand meets the grip.
What Sets the Hogue OverMolded Grip Apart
The rubber here is soft without being mushy, and it's molded with gentle palm swells and finger grooves that naturally position your hand for a repeatable, secure hold. Hogue's signature Cobblestone texture covers the surface and gives you a non-slip, non-irritating grip whether you're bare-handed, wearing gloves, or dealing with cold or wet weather. Folks who've made the switch consistently say it feels like a glove compared to the standard grip, and the softer material takes the edge off long range sessions.
Built to Handle Solvents and Abuse
One of the underrated perks of this grip is how little it asks of you. The thermoplastic elastomer is virtually impervious to the oils and solvents you'll run into during cleaning, so you don't need to baby it or worry about degradation over time. It ages gracefully, shrugs off neglect, and keeps its feel through years of use.
Fitment and Installation on Your AR-15
This grip is a precision fit for AR-15 and M16 style lowers and installs with your rifle's factory grip screw. Keep in mind the mounting hardware is not included in the box, so hang onto the screw from your existing grip or grab one separately before you start. It's designed to preserve the classic lines and aesthetics of the AR, so you get a real upgrade in feel without changing the look of your rifle. At just 2.4 ounces, it won't add any noticeable weight up front either.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hogue OverMolded grip come with a mounting screw?
No, the grip screw and lock washer are not included. It's designed to install using your rifle's factory grip screw, so save the one from your existing grip or pick up the hardware separately before installing.
Will this grip fit my AR-15 lower?
It's a precision fit for standard AR-15 and M16 style lowers and installs in the same spot as your factory A2 grip. Some builds with a right-handed safety may need a quick trim of a small nub for a flush fit, and it's designed for standard right-handed safeties rather than ambidextrous setups.
What does the Cobblestone texture actually do?
The Cobblestone pattern is Hogue's stippled surface that gives you a non-slip, non-irritating hold without chewing up your hand. It keeps your grip secure whether you're bare-handed, wearing gloves, or shooting in cold or wet conditions.
Is the Hogue OverMolded grip durable and easy to maintain?
Yes. It's built on a rigid fiberglass-reinforced skeleton fully wrapped in thermoplastic elastomer, and the rubber is virtually impervious to the oils and solvents used in firearm cleaning. It doesn't require special care and holds up well through years of use.
