Received this product and placed it right away. Just as the other reviews suggested, I needed to place a few drops of glue on each side of inside slip to keep from sliding up or down. I also took the opportunity myself to cut out a half moon style piece on the back safety lever so that it would not interfere with the mechanism. Overall, this is so much better than the product I had on before, it worked but kept coming off because adhesive was not strong enough to keep on, and had to continually re-glue. I would recommend this product, but each individual would have to decide their own modification if needed.

These grip gloves don't fit that great on a Springfield Arms XDS. The grip has a tendancy to ride up the backstrap and cover the grip safety which could lead to an accidental discharge. Trimming the grip glove has not helped. I removed and threw away. It's pretty expensive for what it is. I would not recommend this product

I carry the Springfield XDs .45 ACP every day. It is very concealable, relatively lightweight, and does not print in the least. I hate shooting it, however, which is not a good thing for a carry weapon. Last time I was at the range, I ran about 30 round through it before I gave up. It tears my hand to pieces. Shooting .45 rounds through a 3.3" barrel has its tradeoffs, and one is absorbing a great deal of recoil with my shooting hand. As a result, I was desperate to find something that would absorb some of the recoil. I've looked and looked, but other than the Talon grips (which don't absorb much of anything), I have until recently found nothing that was made for this gun. Thankfully, searching various forums last Friday, I found one that suggested the Pachmayr 05178 Tactical Grip Glove for my gun. I received it in the mail yesterday and put it on immediately! It feels 100% better already. I have not been to the range yet this week, but am willing to believe that this is going to greatly reduce the wear and tear on my hand. Besides absorbing some of the recoil, it also gives me a bit more to hold onto, and it smooths the very rough texture of this gun's grip. I bought this gun to carry for a number of reasons, knowing that recoil was going to be an issue, but with the Pachmayr glove, I will be able to actually enjoy shooting it now. Thanks, Pachmayr!!

My first range session with my XDS was painful. The pistol is incredibly accurate but with full-power .40 S&W loads, the sharp grip serrations of the XDS were imprinted on the flesh of my shooting hand.

I read the complaints about this grip sleeve moving around and I decided to try it anyway. After hundreds of rounds of my custom reloads and some pretty hot recipes, I have dubbed the grip sleeve a winner, sort of... Makes shooting way more comfortable. I have large hands and this thing really, really made the pistol fit like a glove and eliminated all pain.

But, they make the grip sleeve out of a new rubber compound with a gel-like feel to it. It made it much more effective at recoil absorption and comfort, but it also made it feel more "squishy". When I installed previous Pachmyr grip sleeves over the past 30 years, each one was an exercise in patience and technique due to the tight fit and hardness of the rubber. But once on, they stayed put and lasted for decades.

This one slipped on like a wool sock. Now, I have not had any issues with it moving around and activating the grip safety, or slipping and interfering with the magazine release. I carry nearly everywhere and in everything from a Galco holster to the pocket of a leather jacket and have had no issues.

I recently purchased two small "pocket" pistols. I have large hands and it was difficult to get a solid purchase on the thin grip. The Pachmayr Tactical Grip Glove solved my problem. It was easy to install. My accuracy with the pistol improved significantly, and reduced the felt recoil of the 9mm light weight pistol. It does not impact the ability to draw the pistol from my pocket holster. I highly recommend the Pachmayr Tactical Grip Glove.
