A drug delivery device includes an injector and an accessory grip. The injector includes an injector housing defining a housing body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, a needle assembly at least partially disposed within the injector housing at the proximal end, and a drive assembly at least partially disposed within the housing. The needle assembly includes a syringe barrel containing a medicament and a needle or a cannula. The drive assembly urges the medicament through the needle or cannula. The accessory grip defines a grip shell having proximal and distal ends, and a body extending therebetween. The proximal end includes a first opening dimensioned to receive a first portion of the injector housing, and the distal end of the grip shell includes a second opening that receives a second opening dimensioned to receive a second portion of the injector housing.
