Pros

Great product for the cost. Easy to install, generous, but'mild' oversizing, cushioned construction. Grip almost feels as good as new socks. Wish it was not as thick and squishy.

It absorbs some of the recoil. Removes the aggressive almost serrated grip that rubs your hand almost raw after 30 rounds at the range.

The pachmayr grip helps me handle the xds better and gives me a firmer, more reliable hold. On the xds there is a rear grip safety that sort of naturally gets disengaged when most people grip and draw the firearm however with this piece on, you sort o...  Read More

Quality

    So it slides around and isnt secure it slides up against the grip safety and effectively makes it stick in an unsafe waysince i corrected it these issues arent as bad though im still concerned it will interfere with the grip safety

    Just as the other reviews suggested i needed to place a few drops of glue on each side of inside slip to keep from sliding up or down

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The grip on the stock xds 45 tore my palm up after 5 or 6 rounds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The xds is little narrow for my hand grip when i added the pachmayr 05178 it added the additional material to stabilize my grip and increase my accuracy


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The pachmayr changed all this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The grip on the xds can really pinch after 40 or 50 rounds
