Uploaded with ImageShack.us That looks really good! How did you do that and what did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
167 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 That does look really good. Would be interested to hear how it wears over time, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flack jacket Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have been shooting the 92 every weekend since that post. So far wearing very well! As expected, some grit did fall off, yet it is still exceptionally grippy. Process was done by Masking the area with tape, applying epoxy, then sprinkle silcon carbide to taste. Allow to set/dry per epoxy instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
167 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Pretty cool. I stippled my stock beretta grips but haven't been able to figure out what to do about the back strap. This may be my solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flack jacket Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Update: I've decided to change gears on grip panels. Will hire someone to stipple another set factory grips in hopes to slim the grips further. The grit/grip I made works well however, did make it a bit wider. I would need to either: 1. Sand down the grip then add grit 2. Stipple it only. Will post once done. (provided I stop shooting this gun to get the grips done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
167 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Why not just stipple it yourself? It isn't that hard. It won't slim them up any though unless you remove material before stippling with a sander or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonInWA Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 You might want to try Trausch grips; they're about the thinnest available (and are quite good even without stippling). Best, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
