Soft Rubber
Hogue rubber
grips are molded from a durable synthetic rubber
that is not spongy or tacky, but gives that soft
recoil absorbing feel, without effecting accuracy.
This modern rubber requires a completely different
molding process than ordinary neoprene and results
in a much superior grip. The material we use does
not come
apart or deteriorate and is resistant to all
solvents and oils used around firearms. Hogue
Grips give you a lasting precision fit and
durability that will provide years of dependable
service. The flexibility of our materials and
molding process has allowed us to produce superior
rubber grips with features that out perform all
other makes.
To
retain their shape Hogue soft rubber grips utilize
a modern, light-weight synthetic insert (skeleton)
that chemically bonds to the rubber. This prevents
them from delaminating or coming apart as can
happen with old fashion brands with metal inserts.
Being a true one-piece grip with a single
one-piece insert, Monogrips have no mismatched
seam to come apart. And of course our rubber
revolver grips have all the features that made the
Hogue Monogrip famous. Monogrip features include
orthopedic handshape, proportioned finger grooves,
(real finger grooves, not just small nonfunctional
bumps) and they are fully relieved for
speedloaders.
All
Hogue rubber grips hold securely in cold, wet or
sweating hands, and do not have any metal
medallions that can irritate the hand. Hogue grips
are attractive as well as functional. Molded in a
handsome black color they dress up either blue or
stainless handguns. Hogue's exclusive
"Cobblestone" texture has become the texture of
choice among firearm enthusiasts. Cobblestone
provides a positive non-irritating stippling
feature that replaces traditional checkering. This
texture not only gives Hogue a modern and
distinctive look, but is also very functional. It
is specifically designed to be a balance between a
sharply checkered and a smooth grip. Cobblestone
provides a firm grip but by relaxing grip pressure
allows the hand the mobility of a smooth grip.
Our
exclusive molding process is exceptionally
superior when it comes to Semi-Automatics. Because
the rubber we use actually chemically bonds to the
insert we are able to have a smooth hard surface
on the inside of the grip. This duplicates a stock
grip configuration on the inside, and allows us to
maintain exacting tolerances. This is a very
important feature that sets Hogue apart. Other
brands with steel inserts must wrap rubber all the
way around the insert which can hang up on the
vital working mechanisms found so close to the
grip on many automatics. Also because rubber
doesn't have to wrap all the way around, our
insert design allows us to make a smaller and more
comfortable grip for high capacity double stack
magazine guns. |
