Grip tape

[unixfool]

Proper technique doesnt need grip tape for the casual shooter
If you plan to shoot in the rain, outdoor matches, sweaty palms, and speed drills with all of the above, ok, go for it.
If not… don’t f’ing bother to be tacticool

It's not always about technique. Crappy grip texturing (or none at all) will generally hinder traction. I've more than a few guns that have slick grips. As well, there are billions of people and not every hand will grip the same - same goes for grip strength. All of it applies, not just proper technique.

Enjoy your stay. However brief.

Careful @Bassbob, you will be "Officially joining the blocked list" along with me if you hurt his feelings.

Anything but that.

I use skateboard grip tape and then I hit it with the good ole Sex Wax to smooth it out a bit. Gets only a little slippery in the rain with sweaty hands but it doesn't chafe when carrying.
