Grip tape

[Bassbob]

Only on handlebars.

But, as others have said Talon grips are great and cut to fit your pistol.

Some poly pistol grips are very slippery dry, and even more...

A local band I was in briefly many, many years ago called "Caution" released their debut album "Slippery When Wet''. Easily 10 years before Jon Bongiovi hung his broom up and started a band. I told those guys they should sue, but.....

Texture on smithy was a bit aggro so put some hockey tape on it

I'm honestly not making fun of you, but the texture on a polymer gun was too aggressive for you? Generally, shooting it more will fix that.

My guess is you've never carried a Shield 2.0 IWB.

Can you imagine how long it would take to wear down the texture on one of those by handling it ?

Hmmmm...thanks for the tip!

I meant to say I buy the painful-to-look-at in sheets and cut it into strips. You can buy sheets of the various compounds.

Less than 1000 rounds.

Less than 1000 rounds.

That’s BS.

 

[mreed911]

That’s BS.

What's BS? That after shooting some number less than 1000 rounds, the grips won't be as "sharp" as they are out of the factory box?

Given the friction, sweat, etc. that entails, enlighten us on why the plastic grips on a plastic frame won't soften and dull their edges in the slightest during the action and use required to put 1000 rounds down range.

My guy, cool you have “man” hands. i’ve shot more than 1K and grip is still sandpaper on the chunk. .

Your grips haven't worn any - at all - in the process of firing 1000 rounds?

Have you actually held one? No grips are similar to when purchased.

Which is the point I made... that you're arguing against.

Who said anything about wearing in the slightest ? Like I said, you clearly don’t have a Shield 2.0 or you wouldn’t be running your mouth. I got about 5000 on mine. Almost all of that training, not just “ putting rounds down range”. And I hit it with some Emory cloth. It’s still uncomfortable against your body IWB.

You aren’t the first new guy to come in here thinking you know everything. Most don’t last. Wonder how long you will.

No that was a punctuation fail. Should have had a comma. The grips are the same as when purchased. Again, I ask have you shot one? or more specifically had one IWB?

anyhoo, congrats on your skin? I'm happy with my tape

I did. I said exactly that. That's what you replied to.

Oh, I enjoy defeating internet tropes. This place is full of them... will be fun.

Yes, I use grip tape & have girly hands after a 6 month hospitalization & then rehab……it’s a wonderful thing and helps my sweaty/wet hands get a good fighting grip on the firearm

Enjoy your stay. However brief.
