Hogue tamer grips feature a soft rubber insert on the inside of the grip at the back-strap - where it does its recoil absorbing duties underneath overmolded rubber. Hogue rubber grips are molded from durable synthetic rubber that is neither spongy Nor tacky yet provides a soft recoil absorbing feel without affecting accuracy. This modern rubber requires a completely different molding process than ordinary neoprene resulting in a much superior grip. The flexibility of our materials and molding process has allowed us to produce rubber grips with features that out perform all other makes.
