Michael64 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 After putting 250rds thru my new M&P 9mm, I have to say the frame is just a little slick. So does anyone recommend a good smith to do a stippling job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 One inexpensive way to enhance the traction on part of your grip is to try a "shark skin" textured grip from Dan Burwell. I have one for my 45 full size and like the improved grip on the back. Might not be your cup of tea, but wanted to mention it. Dan can do different textures on M&P also. Maybe have him do a trigger job while he is at it. I think his work is very good and had him do triggers on two of my M&P. But I only dipped my toe in the waters on stippling by getting the backstrap replacements. I like the texture a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saab Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I put Talon grips on my pro and .22. Although I love the grip, I did cut off the part that wraps around the rear of the grip. The reason I did that is because with the sandpaper version, you can't easily slide your hand up if you grab a low grip on the draw. They make a rubberized version also, but it's too much like the M&P's grip already. They are also good if you have a huge hand and need a bigger grip. They will send you samples of their grips.

horseman Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I just tried some grip tape on the front strap of the grip. Worked for me. I hated the feel of the a textured back strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roostershooter Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Try grip tape before you decide to stipple. Altough, if you are dead set on stippling I think Speed Shooters Specialties still has some backstraps that are stippled. Could be mistaken, but I think they had some several weeks ago.

StealthyBlagga Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I used the glue-n-grit approach. I only wanted to apply it to part of the removable backstrap where the heel of my support hand engages the frame. Works great for me, giving a meaningful improvement in control without slowing recovery from a bad grip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splashdown Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 One more vote for boresight solutions. I bought a used Glock with their stippling treatment. It's really really nice. Having seen a professional job, I wouldn't try it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahK Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Recently bought some stippled backstraps off ebay, look and feel great! Turned out to be the exact models speed shooter specialties is selling. I highly suggest you check them out, cant beat the price Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Murphy Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Speed Shooters Specialties has the stipled backstraps: http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=74_192&products_id=1118 This coupled with the Dawson front grip tape you should have plenty of grip.

EkuJustice Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 cold bore custom does a nice job with their "tactical" stipple. Good amount of grip and looks like it belongs on the gun ie more subdued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyWiz Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes, try grip tape before you or someone take a hot iron to the frame or back strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
