Hogue rubber grips are molded from a durable synthetic rubber that is not spongy or tacky, but gives that soft recoil absorbing feel without affecting accuracy. This modern rubber requires a completely different molding process than ordinary neoprene and results in a much superior grip. The material does not come apart or deteriorate and is resistant to all solvents and oils used around firearms. The flexibility of the materials and molding process has allowed production of superior rubber grips with features that out perform all other makes.
