A gun grip comprising:
- two grip sections each including a body of elastomeric material and a reinforcing plate embedded in and more rigid than said elastomeric material;
- said bodies of elastomeric material forming two side walls to be received at opposite sides respectively of a gun handle, and which have rear edge portions adapted to be received at opposite sides of a back surface of the gun handle in a spaced relation leaving said surface exposed between said rear edge portions when the bodies are mounted on the handle;
- said bodies of elastomeric material forming two front flanges of said elastomeric material projecting inwardly toward one another at forward edges of said two side walls respectively and at locations to be received in front of said handle;
- said reinforcing plates having main portions which are embedded in and reinforce said side walls of the elastomeric material and which have rear edges within said rear edge portions of the elastomeric side walls spaced apart for reception at opposite sides of said rear surface of the handle;
- said reinforcing plates having forward portions projecting inwardly toward one another within said flanges of the elastomeric material at locations to be received in front of said gun handle and closer together than are said spaced rear edges of the plates.
