    I used a 1.75" tube and started with the largest pistol... mistakes may fit the smaller guns. Watch out for the talcum inside the tube!

    Don't let the tube cover the magazine release in any way, or get in the way of the magazine and magazine well.

    The inside of the tube looks better and has less "seams".

    A bare grip feels too rough and slick to me now. The tube is just right and doesn't detract from the guns' looks... IMHO.

    I don't understand why anyone has a problem moving the tube around... the rubber is very stretchy and you can just grab it with both sets of thumbs and fingers, stretch it out, and move it around!

      I don't think the problem is moving the tube, I think it's in keeping it in the same place. Mine will move but not much. I do think a bit smaller tube may work better. It's just the tubes I had around. I think they are very comfortable. Better than stock anyway.

        My Qwik Grip arrived today and is now on the PM9. I like it and will shoot it tomorrow.

            The Houge people said to wet your grip down with Windex before trying to slip on a Handall Jr. and make sure it's warm. Should work with other grips. Haven't had any problem with the Handall moving around.

The Model# for the Kahr PM & CM's is 3A......
              I received mine yesterday and installed it. I really like it but haven't been to the range yet with it.

                    True. But, some folks are more fussy about appearances. I mean, if you can't have elegant wooden grip panels, like a 1911, you have to settle for more elegant grip sleeves. A nice grip sleeve can even make a POS like my smallest Kel-Tec look presentable. Ok, sort of presentable. Would you believe not too ugly?*

                    *With apologies to Mr. Maxwell Smart.



                    And, before anyone whines about it, the bit of the grip that covers the magazine release was trimmed off after this picture was taken.

                    Edited to add: Oh, and the grip is an "Uncle Mike's" that is no longer in production, unfortunately.
                    It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.

                      Initially I would have thought that this little pistol would work my hand raw but that hasn't been the case. Recoil is less than I imagined. One day I shot 175 rounds in a few hours and my hand was starting to feel it a little but on a 60 round day it's no big deal.

                        I may just pick one of these Quikgrips up, but holy smokes, I have to mail in a check? That means I've got to remember how to write, and those pens I have, shoot, I have to find one of those rubber grip thingys for the pen to make it comfortable to write. Oh yes, have to find some stamps. Geez, what do those run nowadays? Hm, 3˘ in 1863, 6˘ when I was born in the 60s, so it only doubled in 100+ years, but now 44˘ in only a few decades?

                        Okay, kidding aside, I think the Quikgrip might be the ticket with my CT that I got exchanged.**


                        ** There's a story with that, but I need to get some pictures.

                          I bought my Qwik Grip from Lone Wolf Distributors for $9.99 ($13.55 shipped). Credit card okay. I got size 3 which fit my PM9 fine.

                            Hey OldLinclon!

                            For some reason, your link did not work for me. Here's a link directly to their catalog.

                              Thanks gents for the links. I knew there had to be a simpler means via the interwebs.

                                Another bike tube that has a bit of texture to it. $6 at Target.
