BBoyle Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 It rubs the lotion on it's skin. It does this whenever it is told. Lol...sorry couldn't resist It rubs the lotion on it's skin and shoots the stage so bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkemxr Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Pro Grip is OK but I switched to Firm Grip powder. Works good and not as messy. It can be purchased through a seller on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Gaines Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The same reason that I switch to the Eric lotion.....not as messy on my gun and equipment. I used to use the progrip, but it was messy on my gun, hands and would last for one stage, and had to keep reapplying before I shot the next stage. I guess what I am saying is there is no staying power. Then I have about 2 bottles in my bag that have solidified. When I practice if I wanted my hands to be dry all the time, I could see myself going through that whole bottle in one practice session. Now I just use "Cant say" grip enhancement and chalk and I am good for my entire practice session and or match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynes_world_45 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I like it because it is not sticky, it just absorbs sweat and makes your hands dry. In florida, that's hard to do. I wish it came in bigger bottles. I reapply every couple of stages and the bottle doesn't go far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I use the lotion before the match starts then i have a spray bottle for touchups before stages if necessary as the day drags on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkMyDuds Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Question for folks using any sort of liquid grip lotion or chalk powder stuff: Have you ever had gun or magazine malfunctions due to the powders ended up on some part of your gun/magazine internals? I tried chalk balls, Pro Grip and one other brand of lotion that I don't remember the name. All 3 of them caused the white powders to go everywhere, my shirt, pants, magazines, ammo, slide stop, magazine release, etc. Although I did not have any malfunctions when I tried them, it has always been on my mind. I don't have sweaty palm. Unless it is the middle of Texas Summer I could get by without any grip enhancer. However, in July, August and September I truly felt the need to keep my hands dry. However, my OCD tendency leads me to think these powders could cause malfunctions during a match. Can someone please prove my fear is totally ungrounded?

kevin c Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I've never had a problem, but, as I posted above, I use just a little, keep the sizing lube on my ammo and use an Uplula. I should add that I shoot Glocks that will run after swimming in mud. So YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboy69 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Also, what I found works great is to put hand sanatizer on first then apply the pro Grip. I figured that out by accident. I went to the port o potty and used the sanatizer after then went back to my stage and applied Pro Grip. It seemed to be even dryer for longer.

jnr88 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I use Pro Grip and couldn't be happier. I have started using it for basketball 4 days a week and it is just as useful. It is not sticky at all. Edited November 24, 2015 by jnr88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Build4u Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Hello all, I started making Pro Grip in 1995 when I could not find anything I liked for my hands. I tried rosins and found them to sticky. I had a product I liked made outside the U.S. given out in a shooters packet at the Nationals (there used to be only one)it could no longer be imported because of the ingredients. Pro Grip bonds to the natural oils in your skin, a very dry skin or working mans hand would need more than someone with a softer hand/skin. If a lot is coming off on your gear you are probably over applying it. You should not rub it in, apply a small amount spread it around quickly and give it a bit to evaporate. I make the Pro Grip spray for softer hands or re application with out getting to heavy. I have never had an issue with handling magazines or ammunition. If your hand is sticky with Pro Grip it is probably reacting to a gun oil or something with a solvent base. If this happens somehow rinse or wash your hands and re apply. To help Pro Grip last in the bottle you should always shake well before use and close the top right away when finished. It was mentioned it was the same as Fast Grip which it Is not. I am glad people still like the product and thank you for using it. David Clark ty-6252 Edited November 27, 2015 by Build4u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
