I have the laser on mine that pins through the handle giving it a little more girth. When I get home I can look who it comes from, as I don't remember.
ETA: this is what was on it when I bought it from a private owner. ETA2: and yes it's on a G19 8E9s4l6BMcBRp!zhmkUQ~~60_35.JPG)

I have big hands and a few months back I wished Glock would make a palm swell to fill my hand like the 1911 does. This is one of the things I always wish the Gen4 would have added along with a rounded muzzle end to the slide and a ambi-lever mag release.

I traded my 1911 for a G21 just yesterday and the guy had a hogue rubber grip sleeve on the Glock that fits really well in my hand. And it feels a lot like what you're describing.

Hogue works but adds a lot of bulk.
I wrap my grip. You can build up palm swell underneath a wrap. I've used gorilla tape and cut progressively smaller pieces to make 1911ish palm swell. Did that under A-grip. I currently use simple cloth hockey tape. A-grip was great but didn't fit my reduced grip. Eta: current. This is only 1 or 2 extra layers of tape on the sides. I also built up the bottom of the front strap like a PPQ.  |

I don't have unusually large hands; but I do use Hogue Handall Rubber Grip Sleeves on all of my Glocks - including the G-21's. For me they work very well; and, yes, I like the raised palm swells!

The humidity here in NC is unreal, so I know what you mean. You can just think about going outside and start sweating. He gave me the money to buy him one, since he works a job during the morning and day then another at night. I just purchased the Talon rubber grip for my 19. I can't wait to see how it is. I figured this would be a much wiser choice than to get my grip stippled. Even the gen4 grips don't provide enough traction for my liking. |

The lack of palm swell on the 19 is my issue as well. I have been tempted to have one of the companies that do grip reductions try to do a grip "rounding" and put in palm swells. |

Hogue is slippery when wet. Used to have one. Hockey tape and A grip are not. Probably more grippy when wet. |

Works really well. Basically you sand the corners between the front and sides of the grip. |

Once the grip profile is done, tape off where you don't want stippled. Coat the rest with a very thin coat of marine tex. Let it set for ~30 minutes. Take a sponge to it. As you pull the sponge away it will create a stippled surface. Once the marine tex has cured sand down any sharp points. |

I got my G30 in a trade I made to get another gun . The G30 felt like a 2X4 to me , didn't like it at all . To make things worse I have 10s of thousands of rounds through my 3 1911s . I have come to the conclusion the huge honking grip forces me to grip it firmly and exactly the same every time . I shoot it very very well . Still feels like crap

Another question occurs to me.
Suppose I were to have the Glock hump removed with a grip reduction. Would the Hogue Handall still work on the reduced grip? Anyone ever try that? |

Now he has ordered a rubber TALON grip for his 21. Never thought something so cheap and simple would make such a difference. PLUS it doesn't bulk up the grip. This might be another option, since he complained about having too big of hands for the normal grip and a simple Talon did the trick... |

Depends on reduction level but i wouldn't depend on it. Try some TALON grip tape. they sell precuts that are made for grips with grooves, but it probably wouldn't matter. Also, they have sheets of it too. Just call them and ask for their opinion on what to do. They were very friendly folks when I called them with some questions. |

I went and got the hogue and put it on my G19 yesterday. I installed the medium sized backstrap (since medium is supposed to be closest to the standard G19 grip). It's definitely a considerable improvement. I don't think it's enough for me to keep the gun, however. I don't even begin to have the money to get something else right now, and the Hogue on the G19 will be good enough until the financial situation changes. When I get the money, however, it's going to be a CZ75D PCR or an HK VP9.
