Hogue grips on Rohrbaugh website

[HankHill]

Well I just picked up my new R9S and all I can say is this the best little pistol I have ever seen!!!
I couldn’t wait to get out to the range and test it out, where I was even more impressed.  I fired 100 rounds of WWB 115 without a hiccup. I fired two handed the first 88 then one handed the last 12. This will be my carry gun of choice as soon as I put another 150 rounds or so through it.

I will be contacting a smith soon about having the front and rear strap checkered or dragon scaled to make it a little easier to hold on to.  I ordered the Hogue slip on grip in the mean time.
      Has anyone ordered the Hogue grips from Rohrbaugh’s website? They look like they will offer a better grip but looks can be deceiving .

Thanks
Hank

I tried the Hogue grips but went back to 3M tape on the sides
and front and back straps, which suits me well. This combo
plus the IDM mag extension improves the grip considerably.

We should start a poll on how many of us are waiting for IDM mag extenders.  I am waiting to order two as soon as they are available...

I really, really want two of the hooked black mag extensions.

I wish that IDM would start up making them again.

Got an email from Bryce on 12-10-08. He hopes to have the grip extensions available again around the first of the year.

That will be a happy new year !

The hogue G10 Grips available in the Company Store - are they thicker than the originals ?   How do they compare to IDM grips ?

I just did a search on this site for previous discussions on the Hogue grips and can't find any.  Is this a new product?  How about some more feedback on their use?

My hands do have a problem with the size of my pup and, as I have posted before, I'm anxious to get some curved mag extenders.

But back on the Hogue grips: If it's a better design, why wouldn't Rohrbaugh use it?

And just a sidebar, I'm going to ask about the pocket slipper laser light in another thread...

The Hogue grips are fine if they suit you; the one thing i noticed is
that, initially, they fit so tight that the magazine was more difficult
to release. Also, I just did not need the extra real estate of those
grips--the simpler, the better, IMO.

Tracker, I am a bit slow - what do you mean by real estate - size, price or fit ?

Sorry for the confusion, thanks

Just extra stuff on the grip; sorry I wasn't more specific.

Just extra stuff on the grip; sorry I wasn't more specific.

Does that "extra stuff" include checkering?  

After seeing this thread I looked at the Rohrbaugh website.  Unfortunately, the grip picture is a bit murky on my computer and I can't tell if it is showing checkering or just some patterning.

Also, are the Hogue grips any real difference in size?

Thanks,

Bill
