Confidence in your equipment matters in USPSA. When the timer goes off, shooters need gear that works consistently, predictably and without distraction. Henning Group has built its reputation on delivering exactly that, and its new 2011 grip is a natural extension of a product line trusted by USPSA competitors across every division.

Henning Group has long been a go-to destination for aftermarket competition parts. From holster hangers and magazine pouches to base pads and springs, its focus has always been on practical, performance-driven solutions. This new 2011 grip continues that tradition with a design that enhances control, consistency and confidence.

DESIGNED FOR REAL WORLD COMPETITION

The Henning 2011 grip is delivered finished and ready for installation, with minimal fitting required. For many popular STI pattern frames, including Staccato and Springfield Prodigy platforms, installation is straightforward. That means more time training and less time fitting parts.

It offers multiple grip textures, including smooth, checkered and everyday carry checkered options. These choices allow shooters to select the level of traction that best matches their shooting style and environment.

Trigger guard options include square, undercut, checkered and round configurations. The undercut options allow the support hand to ride higher on the grip, improving recoil control and speeding up sight recovery.

In use, the grip fills the hand naturally without feeling bulky. The checkered surfaces provide consistent traction without being overly aggressive, even during long match days.

The added rigidity of a metal grip helps manage recoil more predictably. The pistol tracks flatter during rapid fire, allowing for faster follow-up shots and smoother transitions. Consistent hand placement from draw to draw builds confidence and repeatability.

A SOLID UPGRADE FOR EXISTING 2011 OWNERS

For shooters who already own a trusted 2011, this grip offers a meaningful enhancement without requiring a full rebuild. Swapping grips can dramatically change how the pistol feels and performs while preserving the reliability and familiarity of the existing platform.

It’s one of the most impactful upgrades available for shooters looking to improve recoil control, grip consistency and overall shooting comfort.

The Henning 2011 grip delivers real performance benefits in a clean, competition-focused package. It installs easily, offers useful customization and enhances control where it matters most.

For shooters building a new pistol or upgrading an existing one, this grip stands out as a smart, effective choice from a company that continues to earn the trust of competitive shooters.

Price starts at $399.95. Go to henningshop.com to learn more.
