I boiled for 5 minutes, cut out my shoe horns, sprayed it down with Windex and 2 minutes later it was installed. Definitely recommend for P365, makes a big difference.
Tried to put the Hogue grip on w/o results. I searched you tube and there were several videos with suggestions but yours made the most sense. I stretched the grip then put it in a cup of hot water from the coffee machine and had it on with a bit of effort in 2 minutes! Thanks for the tips!
Awesome to hear Steven! I followed their instructions and it was an utter pain in the rear. My method worked better for me. Thanks for the comment Steven. Hope you will subscribe. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Headed to the range tomorrow!!!
Thank you. I made a k cup of hot water and submerged the grip in it for about 5 minutes. Then i muscled it on and it worked like a charm. Grip is superb
Put the grip on top of a water kettle and let the inside get steamed with hot vapors for 30 seconds. It’ll slip right on. A little windex on the inside of the grip will help too (if you use oil, it remains, windex dries off).
I lightly rubbed some Remington gun oil on the grip. Then worked the Houge on. Took about three minutes. This Handall Grip really makes the gun fit your hand. And the beavertail actually reduces the recoil snap you would feel while shooting it....
I just muscled mine on little by little. Took about 3 minutes. It feels great! I can't wait to go shoot with it. It gives the gun a modest, comfortable palm swell.
Took two quick tries but I was successful. No oil or cutouts needed. Just some hot water and elbow grease. I could immediately feel a difference. I'll be heading out to the range soon to give it a shot. Thank you for this video I appreciate it.
Very welcome sir. Glad it was helpful. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Really helps me out. Thank you so much! Have fun at the range. May have another new one coming to the channel soon. Cross finger’s!
Thanks. Worked like a charm. Just put mine on. No need for the windex/plastic cut out. This morning I also installed a manual safety which only took 15 min. The grip is excellent. Now my p365 is exactly where I want it to be.
Awesome Pat! Thanks so much for letting me know. I really appreciate it. I have a new gun video dropping this morning in about 20 minutes. I really appreciate it sir.
The hogue makes this gun feel SO much better when shooting! I just wish that it didn’t add so much additional width due to the palm swells on each side. If only those Hogue folks could make it thinner left to right... to retain the 1 inch thickness of the gun.
Awesome Stacy. Great to hear! I have many more gun videos and more to come. If not a subscriber please help me out and hit that subscribe button. Really appreciate it.
I heated the inside of the grip with a blow dryer on high heat/speed. I put a towel under and around the grip to trap the heat while doing so. I then stretched it by hand from the top of grip for a few seconds and sprayed the gun grip module down with windex. Working from the beaver tail, I slid it over the grip assembly and pushed it on from the bottom. I then pulled from top and then pushed again from the bottom and had it on in less than two minutes. My box was missing those plastic strips, but they weren’t needed at all. It went on very easily.
Good to hear Melissa. This one is pretty simple. Just don't do one on the Shield it will not only break a nail but maybe your finger. Ugh. I really appreciate the comment Mellissa!
I bought it that way. I was surprised when I found it. I had a hard time finding the P365 in stock anywhere. Actually, was struggling to find anyone that could order it. I just kept checking Academy and one night they showed it in stock. I thought I would get an email back saying they didn't have it but an hour later I got an email saying it was ready for pickup. I couldn't believe it. I had never seen the grey before. I liked the contrast though. I really thought they were all black. I didn't even see the grey option on their website. I would call Sig. I bet they sell it. Thanks for the question. Please sub and thumbs up. Appreciate you!
Hi Walter. I. don't think it will. I looked that the Lima and it appears. to go all the way back to the grip. Maybe it could be stretched over or maybe you could notch out the grip. So, I guess there is a chance. For $13 it's worth the try. Good luck sir.
Doesn’t look too bad at all. I remember when I installed one on my Glock 29 and it was a bear! The Glock 43 wasn’t too bad, definitely a lot easier than the 29. I just ordered this for my P365 so needless to say am pretty happy to see it looks rather effortless.
@@DadsGarageDIY I look forward to throwing it on. I went shooting Friday and I think I’ll really appreciate the rubber compared to the sandpaper feel. Good day sir.
@@warpig7441 For me, not only did it feel better in every way but it gave the very small grip a little more width. Just all around feels significantly better.
@@DadsGarageDIY that was initially the reason I purchased the Hogue. The 365 felt a little too slim. After shooting a few boxes of ammo I find the rubber more to my liking than the grip tape feel.
I used a HAIR DRYER heated it up slid it on half way heated again and done no water on my gun no pulling or stretching would not use a heat gun too hot.
I imagine you'd have a terrible time getting a Hogue grip o n the S&W Shield Plus with it's sandpaper like grip, unless using the slick plastic like strips to help it slide.
I think I have a video on that. They are a nightmare. It's not just the sandpaper. It's also the way they sort of bubble out at the bottom. Getting it started is a complete headache. I tried getting one on a Shield Plus and it split before I could get it on. I switched over to the Talon grips on the Shields. Super easy and works quite well. You don't get the finger grooves like you do on the Hogue but it is still quite nice. I also did a video on installation of that. I appreciate the comment Carolina Patriot. I would appreciate you subscribing if you have not already. Thanks so much!
Hi Ali. It does not fit. But, here’s the link to the one that will. Great question. Thanks. www.hogueinc.com/grips/handall-grip-sleeves/beavertail/sig-sauer-p365/p365x-xl
Thanks for this. Good video. Does the additional width added by the grip in any way detract from concealment? The "sand Paper" grip did sort of bother me after 70 rounds or so. My middle finger started to get roughed up a bit. I bought this gun for both plinking and CHP defense.
You are very welcome! I don't think it adds much of anything to the width. For me, most concealment issues I have (any gun) come from the end of the frame (magazine). This is a great gun for just about any purpose. It is my every day carry gun. Even the 12 round extended mags you really don't hurt your concealment much. They only add a half inch. And they give you more room for your pinkie. Thank you so much for your question. If you have any others please let me know. Please subscribe if you didn't and please give a thumbs up. I appreciate you!
Well, I'm glad I came across your video. It was easy to get going but then I realized, this isn't going to work, because I have a lima laser on my sig.
Well, I went from happy it was helpful to Ugh! I hope you find what you need for your Sig. Talon makes a lot of nice stuff too. They are much different but I really like the Talon grips too. They are super helpful if you give them a call. Good luck and I hope you keep watching. If you haven’t color filled check out that video. Really makes a nice cosmetic enhancement to the Sig.
@@DadsGarageDIY oh yea? What kind? Kydex? I bought one for iwb before I got the lima laser now won't fit it. Lol. I've got almost $1300 in my p365 and still wanna do so much more to it.

Try using a heat gun! Whenever i am installing heavy duty hoses on a tight fitting i heat the rubber up with a heat gun and it slides right on and when it cools down it shrinks up tigh.

Literally just bought that hogue grip today for my 365. If you can find on buy a 12 rd mag as well. Feels so much nicer in your hand!
I would agree 100%. I also bought 2 12 round mags for it. Great advice and it does feel much better! Thanks for the comments Fred!
Dads Garage just got my handle in the mail and put it on in like three minutes feels WAYYY better!
@@SmooveScents_ 100% agree! Thanks for the feedback Fred!
Have the Hogue on my 365 with 12 round mags, and bought one for my new Glock 43x. Hope to get them both out to the range this weekend.
That is awesome! Went last weekend and hope to go again tomorrow or next weekend. Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated!
I applied a Hogue grip previously... and yeah... it wasn't easy. The hot water "bath" looks like a great idea.
Depends on the pistol. It was fairly easy on the Sig P365. But, others I have really fought with.
I pocket carry with sticky holster. Think it would be a problem with this grip?
I don't think so. I have not tried it but don't think it would be an issue. Worse case you spent $13 and you have to take it off. Good luck to you!
Great video. I used a blowdryer and windex. Went on in under 2 minutes.
Great stuff Mark. Thanks for the valuable input. Have a great day sir.
Hair dryer softened it up pretty good and installed on my P365 pretty easy
I've heard that. Next one I do I will try that. Thanks Paul.
