Well, would it work within your plans to have something go around the barrel? Or do you just want it sort of "glued" on? The best "glue" I can think of would be JB Weld or some similar epoxy. But really, you probably want a more substantial attachment method than that.

there are some great 2 part epoxies out there that you have to mix together ... i have seen them sold at hardware stores and they come together ... lots of time with a joined plunger so that you dispense the same amount of glue and epoxy to mix easily , and they work great

Hose clamps. Some bending and modifying of the grip may be involved, but it would be very strong.
