brownnutz Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 So I shot my first competition of 2016 last week and during one of the stages, my hand slipped drawing out of the holster. COMPLETELY ruined my pace and timing. So I wanna know... Grip tape options! I want to try this first before stippling because yeah, no coming back from that. If it helps, I have an M&P and am thinking about these.. http://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Dawson-Grip-Tape-for-SW-MP-Set-of-3-P2324.aspx?ItemId=4107393&Options=5070 Thoughts?

BrianKr Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've never used that specific solution, but I've been using skateboard tape and I really like it. If it doesn't need to be pretty I got mine from e-bay for a whole $2 for a piece 10"x 40 or 48" for $2. Shipping was $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnutz Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I was thinking about that too. I was at a local gun store the other day and picked up a pistol on consignment that had some grip tape. He couldn't tell me what tape but I liked the texture and it didn't eat into my soft girly hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennJeep1618 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I like Black Magic skateboard tape as far as quality for the price, but those pre-cut options are much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennJeep1618 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 You could always go with Talon for another pre-cut option. I'd stay away from the cheap ebay ones, because I haven't had great luck with the fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If you go with uncut skateboard tape, I'll second the Black Magic skate deck tape. The stuff is easy to work with, sticks well, and gives a great grip feel without sanding your hands raw. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Magic-Single-Sheet-Griptape/dp/B000GAQVYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the grip tape is discounted, but the other stuff might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD45 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I thought tru grip was the go to grip tape. I've always used it and haven't tried others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericjhuber Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've been using Dawson grip tape on my Glock 34 and all of my mags for years now and it's great stuff. Dawson has great customer service and there are all sorts of colors to choose from because, as we all know, looking cool is half the battle in action shooting.

I'd stay away from the cheap ebay ones, because I haven't had great luck with the fit. + 1000 on Talon Grips. Beautifully cut and follows the most complex contours perfectly. They make them in a nice grippy pebbled rubber (which I like) or the more hardcore abrasive finish (like sandpaper. Skateboard tape). Can't beat 'em.

BeerBaron Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 3m safety walk has the best texture and most importantly best adhesive of the ones I've tried. It's desiged for outdoor use so holds up to moisture etc. they make a few colours and more importantly different textures too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootnjunky Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I would just do the talon option first. you can then decide if you like it in each position and then use it as your template for stippling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooskbar03 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I run the grip tape from Springer on my 320 and I'm very happy with it. He offers for the M&P as well. (can't link to it as I'm still a noob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) I would just do the talon option first. you can then decide if you like it in each position and then use it as your template for stippling Or you may just like the Talon as is. We just put Talon grips on my wife's PPQ, and it works well. Looks good too. We used the more aggressive sandpaper like material.
