Does this rubber grip fit over the existing synthetic grip or does it take the place of it?

It takes the place of the existing grip. The process is very well described on the included instruction sheet. I find this to be a very good grip. With the original, the gun was difficult for me to hold. The Hogue makes it very stable.

Takes the place of. Instructions on removal of old and a small tool are included. Great grip for me.

It takes the place of the existing grip. It requires some work with the recoil spring to replace the existing grip. But well worth it

This hogue grip does not fit over existing grip, u will have to remove factory grip. It's fairly easy to install, very comfortable better than factory grip, imo.

After removing the old grips the hogue grips will then slide over the grip frame using the provided installation tool. Once the grips are on the weapon they are held in place by friction and are quite secure without the use of a screw.

Yes, It fits on the Shield. It took me about 5-10 to stretch itover the grip. I have talon grips installed also and put this over the Talon to give me a little more bulk. Works well.

No. The rubber grip is not replaceable but very comfortable and durable. I've put mine through the ringer and the grip is still going strong.

Like any grip it adds some some to the handle, but this grip adds no more than grip being replaced. It lays flat with no raised areas so it adds less than grips that have contour ridges.

No. The front of the hand grip sits over the trigger guard screw and the new screw seats behind the guard. The grip mounts very tightly with a secure feel to it.

A little bit of fitting will be required on both grip panels. Take your time, no big deal.

Yes, I use a sleeve as well and I put it over the laser grip. It works great.

No it does not. I had my grip installed at a local Sporting Goods store. It cost a few bucks for their expertise, tape, and glue.

No. You don't have to. Putting more tape over the existing will change the size of the grip, but using the same tape if it is still in good shape is no big deal.

Yes. Also the nylon grip is just a cosmetic cover so that'll come off easy, but it's a simple fix if you know how.

It extended the grip an inch. My pinkiy hung off before I'd installed it. No it fits my hand just great. It does not add any width to the grip.

I do not have this stock but it fits over a slide fire stock which has fairly large hand grip. Would also fit over a Sig 522 hand grip. Works great for guns that have a normal full size hand grip that can't be replaced.

It's a full replacement grip so it adds about 1/8 inch, which is typically factored into a grip size stated from the manufacturer; so if you strip the old grip off (which you need to do when replacing) and use this replacement grip then the grip size should be what the manufaturer says it is. It's not intended to be an overgrip - you can buy overgrip which adds about 1/16 of an inch and wraps over the regular grip.

yes it does, its right under the grip part! I've yet to utilise mine but it surely does have it.

Just rec mine and it tore along the seam during installation. I was still able to fit it with the tear and get an idea of the enhanced grip - it feels awesome! Yes - you need to trim it to accommodate the grip safety however it's such a snug fit i can't imagine that it will shift around especially with the springfield grip under it. I exchanged it for a new one since obviously I thought it was a bit defective to tear along the seam and reordered a new one. With my second attempt at installation I plan on either use windex as a lubricant or bust out my heat gun to soften it up. This grip transforms the XDS! Can't wait to shoot with it!

Grip extension, no. The rest extension, yes. But either way, it fits the standard pistol like a glove and anything that makes the fit tighter, could delay retrieval.
