1. A grip sleeve for a firearm having a barrel defining a horizontal axis and a perpendicular vertical axis, a frame having a grip with a lower free end and a trigger guard forward of the grip, the grip having a front surface and a back surface having an upper portion that curves in a rearward direction, the grip sleeve comprising: a tubular body having a front wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, and a rear wall;the tubular body being of an elastomeric material;the tubular body having a lower end associated with the lower free end of the pistol grip, and an opposed upper end;the upper end of the tubular body having a front edge portion at the front wall at a limited first vertical distance above the lower end;the upper end of the tubular body having a rear edge portion at the rear wall at a second vertical distance above the lower end greater than the first vertical distance;at least an upper guard element at the upper end of the rear edge portion curving back in an upward and rearward direction;wherein an upper portion of the rear wall including the upper guard element has a forward arcuate surface adapted to contact the upper portion of the back surface of the grip and has a concave rear arcuate profile;the upper portion of the rear wall having a first forward portion having a thickness;the upper portion of the rear wall having a second upper end tapering upward and rearward to a second thickness less than the first thickness; andthe upper portion of the rear wall having a third lower end tapering downward and rearward to a third thickness less than the first thickness. 2. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the upper guard element having a guard surface facing in a direction angularly rearward and downward. 3. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the upper guard element is a saddle shape having a positive curvature. 4. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the upper end has an upper perimeter forward of the upper guard element having a convex curvature adjacent to the upper guard element and a concave curvature away from the upper guard element. 5. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the tubular body is free of holes other than a passage defined by the tubular body. 6. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the tubular body is entirely formed only of an elastomeric material. 7. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the tubular body is formed of a single material. 8. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the front edge portion is spaced below the trigger guard to enable a finger below the trigger guard to contact the grip below the trigger guard. 9. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the tubular body defines a linear grip passage defining a magazine insertion axis, and wherein the upper guard element extends farther upward along the magazine insertion axis than does the front edge portion. 10. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the trigger guard defines an opening having an upper limit, and wherein the upper guard element extends vertically to a level above the upper limit of the trigger guard opening. 11. The grip sleeve of claim 1 wherein the rear wall has a rear surface with a lower portion angling downward and rearward, a curved transition above the lower portion, and an upper portion extending upward and rearward from the curved transition. 12. The grip sleeve of claim 11 wherein the curved transition and the upper portion are a continuous curved surface. 13. A grip sleeve for a firearm having a beavertail frame element extending rearward from and above a forward rear grip surface, the grip sleeve comprising: a tubular elongated body formed entirely of a unitary elastomeric material;the tubular elongated body having a front wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, and a rear wall;an upper edge of the tubular elongated body having a front edge portion at the front wall;the upper edge of the tubular elongated body having a rear edge portion at the rear wall at a level above the front edge portion;the rear edge portion configured to overlay at least a portion of the beavertail frame element; andwherein an upper portion of the rear wall including the upper edge of the tubular elongated body has a forward arcuate surface adapted to contact the beavertail frame element and has a concave rear arcuate profile;the upper portion of the rear wall having a first forward portion having a first thickness; the upper portion of the rear wall having a second upper end tapering upward and rearward to a second thickness less than the first thickness; andthe upper portion of the rear wall having a third lower end tapering downward and rearward to a third thickness less than the first thickness. 14. The grip sleeve of claim 13 wherein the rear edge portion is below at least a portion of the beavertail frame element. 15. The grip sleeve of claim 13 wherein the rear edge portion has an upper surface abutting the beavertail frame element. 16. The grip sleeve of claim 15 wherein the upper surface faces in a direction at least in part upward. 17. The grip sleeve of claim 1 further comprising the forward arcuate surface having a greater radius of curvature than the rear arcuate profile when taken in a medial plane. 18. The grip sleeve of claim 1 further comprising forward arcuate surface and the rear arcuate profile being smooth and continuous arcuate curves when taken in a medial plane.
