e5young Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm curious, how many of you guys out there use hand chalks normally used for lifting or tennis grip lotions to enhance your grip. Are there any other methods you guys use in order to enhance your grip? I'm currently using Prince Grip Enhancing Lotion. Basically a liquid you rub onto your hands in order to maintain a very nice grip on your pistols. I tend to sweat a lot so I found this to help me a lot.

ecolyer325 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm currently using rock climbing chalk for my hands. Seems to help me out when my hands get sweaty. If chalk isn't available then I use dirt. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb06 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Using climbing chalk. Works well only downside is being dust it will get all over stuff if not careful but is easy to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get chalk all over the place you look like you are doing stuff so I don't mind it. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Pro Grip is my favorite. It does leave a residue, but it's easy to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically use Pro Grip when my hands start to sweat and I use grip tape on smooth parts of my gun's grip that I touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4me2ply Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Get a cheese grater and get to work on a block of weight lifting chalk. I picked up two blocks from Academy sports for about $5. Mix it with rubbing alcohol and you'll have poor mans progrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzw26n Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Pro Grip, may as well use the Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elftech86 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I mainly use liquid grip. I may be switching to pro grip. It feels a bit tackier. A friend of mine uses dirt. Such a savage. Haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Climber's chalk has a unique drying agent not found in 'regular' weight lifting chalk. I bought a 3 lb bag that will last me until I'm too senile to know which end of the gun to hold ...and it cost less than 2 bottles of Pro Grip ....

Nimitz Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 we charge for dirt at my matches .... also, you must not be married ... lol. Coming home from a match with dirt all over my clothes from rubbing your hands on your pants is not something designed to keep my wife excited about my shooting .... yes, the little cloth bag that comes with it has a draw string on it so you just keep refilling it. I keep it in a small plastic bag & when I step into the box I have that bag & a towel and I'm good to go ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danjordan78 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I use a rosin bag like pitchers use. Does the hand out easy and isn't messy. Keep a small one in my pocket and grab it a couple times before I shot and good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbopower18 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I purchased a bottle of Liquid Grip from Mink at Production Nationals last year and I love it! Works the same as Progrip but you get 3 times the amount for about the same price as progrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
