Hogue 17179 Wrapter Adhesive Grip made of Heavy Grit with Black Finish for Glock 17, 17 MOS, 19x, 34 MOS, 45 & 45 MOS Gen 5 (No Backstrap)

The Hogue Wrapter Heavy Grit Adhesive Grip for Glock Gen 5 is a low-profile grip solution designed for shooters who want better control without adding bulk to their carry or duty gun. This adhesive grip system fits Gen 5 Glock models 17, 17 MOS, 19X, 34 MOS, 45, and 45 MOS—with no backstrap included—and uses a heat-activated adhesive that molds directly to your frame's contours for a custom feel. If you've found factory Glock grips slippery or uncomfortable, or you simply want more purchase on your gun during shooting, the Wrapter's heavy grit texture delivers tactile grip without the thickness of traditional grip tape or panels.

What sets this grip apart is its feather-light profile—the Wrapter is 30% thinner than a credit card, so it won't print in a holster or catch on clothing during the draw. The multi-piece design wraps key contact areas of your frame, and because it's engineered to conform to your gun's exact shape, you get a custom-molded fit right out of the box. The heavy grit surface provides genuine traction in wet or sweaty hands, a real advantage if you train hard or carry in humid climates.

Installation is straightforward: clean your frame thoroughly with the included alcohol pad, let it dry completely, apply the grip, then use gentle heat from a blow dryer or heat gun to activate the adhesive and mold it in place. The leftover material gives you room to tweak coverage or customize the fit to your hand. It's a practical upgrade for anyone looking to improve their grip security without the permanent commitment of stippling or the cost of a new frame.
