Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Grippy! Cheap, effective, looks good too
Cons:	Difficult to put on initially, seams

Just a quickie review on the HandAll sleeve.
Basically these will fit any full-size handgun even if they have finger grooves (like the Glock).
The 'sleeve' is an SOB to put on at first, but once you get the first half on the rest slides into position relatively easily. It stays in place very well also.

The sleeve/grip itself is a soft, tactile rubber with pebbling on the sides and three finger grooves. The surface feels slightly tacky when gripping the gun.
These grips are ideal for polymer frame guns or any pistol that has slippy-grip-syndrome (like my TM Sig P226). They also have palm swells that help your hand to sit correctly on the grip.
You could use them to bulk-up a grip that is too small for you too, or fit it over worn/shiny grips without having to strip screw holes removing old grip panels or Dremel/butcher Hogue replacement panels to fit Smile

The only bad thing I can say about the HandAll is the seams on the grip can have a bit of excess rubber on them.
But a scalpel fixes this pretty quickly Wink

I put one each on my Sig P226 and USP45 and they improve the handling quite a bit!

And thats it. They're good!

Edit: just found THE use for a HandAll...you can easily put it on a 1911 and disable that irritating grip-safety that usually fails to disengage just when you need it most.
I removed the one on my Sig (cos it now wears much-better-than-Marui factory grips Wink

)
The 1911's grip is thin enough that the HandAll doesnt alter the handling characteristics much at all Smile

Most MEUSOC operators were officially banned from deactivating the grip safety so you're in good company!

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Gives better grip and bigger grip to pistol. Fixed mag release problem on Glock 19
Cons:	Hard to put on. Once on it is GREAT!

I got the Grip sleeve because I have big hands and the Glock 19 grip is a little small. The grip sleeve fixed this issue and more. It now has a bombproof grip and drawing and aiming is even faster than before.

Your fingers will rest in the exact same spot every time so sighting in becomes faster.

An unexpected fix for me came from the fact the grip sleeve increases the overall size of the grip. I had a problem with my G19 and the Blackhawk holster I have. It kept hitting the mag release. Now with the grip sleeve installed the mag release does not stick out as far, because the grip sleeve increases the size of the grip underneath it. The release is still easy to access but not by accident anymore. Since installing the grip sleeve I have not dropped a single mag.

This addition is easily worth twice what I paid for it. A must have for anyone with large hands or mag release problems.
