Does anyone have any . . . besides patience and reading-re-reading/following the exact directions? I finally got one and have not yet attempted to put it on.

I don't think there are any "tricks." Just read the directions at least twice and try to visualize what you are going to do. Focus on doing one side at a time, and do it a couple of milimeters at a time so you can see how it lines up. You can peel it back a few times without doing any damage. Once it is on, rub it in to make sure it sticks. You can also trim it wherever you wish with some small, sharp scissors if you want to. Good luck.

Agrip has a funny way of respondin to de heat of yer hand. When you first look at de stuff you think "no WAY is dis gonna fit" but when you put it on (exactly de way de instructions tell ya) real slow like, den de stuff kinda *flows* onto de gun. It's wierd, wonderful stuff. Don't streeeeetch it like saran wrap (tm) or a rubber glove, but use your hand heat to gently "encourage" it to shape.

Well, I finally got around to it. At first, it didn't look like it was going to line up correctly. But you guys were right, if you go slowly, it kind of "flows" on.

I found it helpful to use a pair of curved toe nail scissors to cut a little relief to the left side pannel where it comes around to the right side underneath the trigger guard. I also had to cut off extra material that extended past the top of the grip and into the slide rails. I had enough "extra" leftover agrip material to cover the left side nut for the belt clip.

She feels goooood! We'll see how she shoots. Thanks.
