General Safety Guidelines
- Ensure that the grips are compatible with your firearm model (Government, Commander, or Officers Model) before installation.
- Always handle firearms with care and ensure they are unloaded when installing or working on grips.
- Store all firearm accessories, including grips, in a secure location away from children and unauthorized users.

Specific Safety Precautions for Use
- Ambidextrous Safety Cut: Ensure that the safety mechanism is functioning properly after installation.
- Grip Texture: The heavily textured surface provides excellent handling; however, ensure your hands are dry to maintain grip stability.
- Concealed Carry: When carrying concealed, be mindful of the grip's shape and texture, which may affect how the firearm prints through clothing.
- Beveled Bottom Edge: This feature allows for faster hand clearance during draw; practice drawing with the grips installed to ensure comfort and efficiency.
Instructions for Installation and Usage

Installation Steps:
- Remove the existing grips by unscrewing the grip screws using the appropriate tool.
- Align the new ERGO XT Grips with the grip frame of your firearm.
- Insert the grip screws through the grips and into the frame, tightening them securely but not overly tight to avoid damaging the grips.
- Check that the grips are firmly attached and do not shift when handled.
Usage Tips:
- Familiarize yourself with the feel of the new grips by practicing handling and aiming before livefire exercises.
- Regularly check the screws for tightness, especially after extensive use.
