The Hogue name is practically synonymous with fine handgun grips. That's where it all started decades ago when a crafty LAPD officer named Guy Hogue took it upon himself to make a better wood grip for his duty revolver. Little did Guy know that his bright idea for a better grip would lay the foundation for today's Hogue, Inc. Guy's spirit lives on in a dazzling array of materials, styles and colors for your favorite pistol. They are rubber panel grips with palm swells for the 1911 Government model.
