I'm not super happy with the grip on the rifle. I'm just wondering if ar15 Hogue grips would work? Or any other suggestions?

The grip is not removable. The polymer grip is actually part of the polymer frame. So unfortunately, no.

It sounds like you have an RDB... so are you asking if a 1911-style Hogue rubber slip over would work?

I would also like some grip options - something a little wider to increase my length of pull.

 

[PapiRob71]

Yeah, I know it's integral...I was thinking a slip-on or a wrap or something like that. I figure the grip should be close to an AR15 (don't know as this is my 11st rifle since leaving the Air Force 26 yrs ago so I don't really remember the feel)

See my post on a Talon grip wrap for the RDB. I measured both the RDB and the KSG grips and they appear to have the same dimensions. Talon has a grip wrap for the KSG that should fit. The only thing is there re two holes for the take-doen pis of the KSG. No big deal. I have ordered one of these grip wraps. I'll see if it fits and let everyone know. The grip comes in rubber (my choice) or a more aggressive sand texture. I have one on my KSG and other guns and I like how the grip is improved.

It's too bad that they didn't make them use AR grips to be easier to customize.

I received the Talon Grips #405 Rubber for the KSG today. It also comes in Sand for a more aggressive grip texture. I like the rubber and I have Talon Grips on several of my guns.

Overall, the grip fit pretty good. I felt that it needed just a little trimming. I cut about 1/16" from the front and rear edge of the side grip panels with a pair of scissors and I rounded the upper and lower corners of the cuts. Then I cleaned the grip surfaces of the RDB with 91% isopropyl alcohol (a very good degreaser). I wrapped the grip onto the RDB grip and positioned it the way I liked it. Then, according to the instructions, I heated the Talon Grip with a hair dryer to make it warm and pressed the grip wrap onto the RDB grip all over. I repeated this several times. It took about 10 minutes to complete.

Here are some photos of the installed Talon Grip Wrap.

Looks good! I don't mind the grip personally, maybe that will change over time, but good to see a solution out there already.

I have the Talons on my M&P and like them quite a bit. Rubber is the better choice at least for me. I think I will put these on both my RDB and KSG

I put a Hogue slip-on on. While it wasn't designed for the RDB, it fits, stays in place and improves the way the pistol grip feels.

That poster hasn't been here since Oct 2017. Someone should know what works. I do remember reading it's a SOAB to get the slip over past the bottom and still not be too stretched out.

Also hopeful to hear someone has tried and found a good Hogue grip. They can be tough to make fit originally, but should be not too hard if you 1- boil it for a minute and 2- stretch it out with your fingers before you try to apply it to the handle

I actually used a replacement skateboard deck to make my own for my XD pistol. $10 gets you enough grippy scratchy material for several guns.

Might actually be a good upgrade for my RDB-C seeing as the grip, though better than expected, is still not ideal.

Do you guys prefer the rubber style grips for your RDB or something less soft?

I use the Hogue Hand-All #17000 for most of my Kel-Tec grip upgrades. It works fairly well for the SUB-2000 but is a little large at the top of the back strap on the PMR-30, CMR-30 and CP33 but is (IMO) considerably better than not having a rubbery grip and the loose material at the top rear contracts in a day or two. I haven't tried the Hogue #17000 on the RDB and RFB yet, but I should. I think it should fit fairly well, given the size of these grips and the grip angle. There's a Pachmayr rubber grip sleeve that other people like for their Kel-Tec firearms.
