Why do some new pistols come with a rubber band on the grip now?

[MarkItZero]

I've seen it from Ruger, Mossberg and Stoeger recently.

They all come with a Lance Armstrong livestrong type band around the grip. Does this serve any actual purpose?

Bro...if you have to ask....

Never seen that, or heard of it until now.
Why am I always the last one to know stuff?

The last several new handguns I have bought didn’t have this.

They are just a useless piece of swag, like a sticker...they serve no real purpose.

Sigs used to come with paper vs rubber....I always chuckled when I looking at used Sigs and the seller had put the paper ring back on.

It's just a bit of advertising, in a sense. Something to make the firearm stand out a bit in a display case full of (what appears to new gun buyers to be) pistols that are virtually indistinguishable from each other.

To generate internet buzz.

How come they don't come in the larger sizes?
