HS factory grips work for most shooters, but you can tailor them for better control, preferred texture, and cleaner ergonomics on HS9 and XD-pattern frames.
Why change your HS grips?
-
Control & reach: adjust palm fill and trigger reach with backstrap sizing.
-
Texture & material: pick aggressive textures for sport/duty or smoother EDC-friendly finishes.
-
Style: colors and patterns to match your setup.
Magwells & sizing
HS uses modular
backstraps (not panel “short/long”). If you add a
magwell, ensure
backstrap compatibility and use
magwell-compatible base pads for positive seating.
Fit essentials
-
HS Produkt (HS2000/HS9) & XD-pattern: confirm exact model/variant; some frames use specific backstrap pins.
-
Compacts/Subcompacts: shorter magazines often need extended or magwell-compatible pads.
Install basics
Swap backstraps with simple tools, then function-check magazine seating—especially with a magwell. Recheck fasteners periodically.
