hiveGrip for Smith & Wesson® SW22 Victory®

I was running G10 grips that I thought were great over the factory grip. I use a firm grip. At the end of an 8 stage match, the G10 was cutting into the layers of skin on my palm. So...enter the Hive. I ordered one and installed it. It has a completely different feel. It helps with felt vibration, zero cutting into the skin, and is very tacky when wet. I have shot this in the rain and feel confident in its performance. I would prefer to not have the finger grooves. They do not align with my grip. Perhaps another mold is in the works? The grip does create a slight difficulty in being able to reach the magazine release in the stock configuration. That lead me to buy a TK Titan extended mag release. That is a whole other review...If you are on the fence, buy it. You will immediately appreciate the tactile control and feel that is noticeably different than any other item available.

I hot weather the stock grips were horrible for me. I added a H grip sleeve, which helped but increased the width considerably. Surely H will design one for the Victory, I have one on my 1911. TK beat them to it. The grip performs beyond what I was expecting. First range session was a sunny day at 8500'. The hand was sweating a little, but the grip just got better and better. The only issue I had with mine was when the screws were tightened down, the magazines wouldn't slide all the way out. Backed the screws off a bit and problem solved. Shot 300+ rounds and the screws stayed put. I do not need any other grip for my Victory. TK nailed it!

Wow, these grips are amazing! The gun feels so much better in my hands. Thank you Tandemkross for putting out an amazing product!

Love the grippyness of the material in the Hive. Unfortunately it doesn't fit my hand properly. The bi ggrst issue us the fi thing to the gun. No matter how many times I mounted the Hive it always left a gap at the top off the left side. It was large enough that my slide release feel out!! I'm going to stick with my Volquartsen Grips. The Hive jwoll be going back to [TK]....

Excellent grip. Received it yesterday, 8/10, installation took a few minutes, drove to the range and tried it out. Great feel and control. A great upgrade over the factory grips,

I had to take care in thinking how I would write a review here. After all, it seems anything would be an improvement over the universally panned stock grips on the SW22. Thus, installing new grips might seem darn near revolutionary and spoil an other level-headed appraisal. However, here is what I have to say: They are fan-freakin-tastic! Before installing these, I was using rubberized grip tape (brand omitted to protect the innocent) and that was a bit of an improvement over stock. Tandemkross clearly considered how layer the stock grips in a honeycomb of awesome. Whatever rubber compound they used has to be the stuff that Goodyear puts in racing tires or the stuff that Under Armour puts on its million-dollar gloves for NFL receivers. I was worried they'd feel much like the rubber grip tape. They're 10 times stickier. My hand feels like it's melted into the gun. I am so impressed! I want these for my Shield. (Did you hear that, TK?) I'm a big fan of the finger grooves, though the experience or opinions of others might vary. They fit me perfectly. If there are any downsides here, they are very small. First, I had trouble getting one of the fastening screws back into the gun because the hole on the grip wasn't perfectly aligning with the hole in the gun's handle. Naturally, it was the last screw I was putting in. I had to push and wrangle with it--fearing the whole time that I was stripping the screw out. Second, while I'm fine with the fact that this isn't a total wrap-around grip, I have longer fingers and would have liked a little more in the back to change my finger position on the trigger. It's a small issue. Perhaps, TK will make a few incarnations of these fantastic grips that are groove-less or which wrap totally around. In sum: These are well worth the price. This the best this gun has felt in my hand and is probably the best fit of any of my guns. Don't think, just buy.

Just received. Quick inst'l and range shoot. Feels very secure in hand and comfortable. Will see what happens in the future.

Even without them on the gun I could feel how well my hands gripped the surface. Once I installed them they filled out my hand much better than the factory grips and the finger grooves helped increase control of the pistol. The gun felt more stable in my hands and I have no doubts they helped improve my consistency and accuracy. I highly recommend them to anyone who owns an SW22 Victory!

I was honored to receive these grips before the release to test and review. I have to say that they are the best feeling grips that I have ever felt on a pistol. The rubberized grip has great texture and they are very grippy. Your hands will not slip a bit! The grips feel like they are made for your hands. They are super comfortable and they feel thinner than the factory grips. Overall I have very impressed and I am looking forward to getting a set for my limited gun also. Tandemkross really hit it out of the park with these! I want to thank TK so much for giving me the opportunity to try out these amazing grips.
