Advice about a grip sleeve

jc_crazyhorse
I'm thinking about getting a grip sleeve for my H&K USPc .40. I don't have any kind of after market grips on any of my firearms at the moment, so I don't have any opinions about them. What I'm wondering is this, would you guys recomend a Hogue, or Pachmayer? I have looked at the Hogue like this one

How much of a difference do thses things make really? Is the price on this one about what I'll expect to spend? What do you guys think?

    What problem will you fix by putting one on your weapon?

    I don't know. Thats why I'm asking if they make a big difference or not. I don't have any experience with them at all. Do they help your shooting as far as control, or anything else?

    I went the cheap route and cut a bicycle inner tube down and made a sleeve to fit my Glock 23's grip. Makes a good grip when shooting and my hand's sweaty.

    I guess that would work. What does an inner tube cost now days? I'll probably just buy a factory one.

    I just happened to come across a wrecked bicycle one day while driving down the road. One tire was totally split, so I just took my knife and cut the tube off and took it home, measured my Glock's grip, and presto! New grip sleeve!

    I have a Hogue on my HK USP .45 Compact. I have large hands and the
    sleve with finger grooves helps me get a better grip.

    I have used them for extremely small, slippery grips, but that is not a problem with your H&K.
    They tend to make people clean less often under the grips since they don't want the hassle of removing it.
    Unless you have a real need, I would pass it by.

    Tried 3 or 4 different kinds on a J frame .357 oncet. Didn't find any advantage over custom grips, and I didn't like the way they felt.
