Ozy Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 How about a professional stippling job? You could gauge how aggressive you want them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covfefe Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I used the black magic skate tape because of this thread. LOVE it. Maybe it's mental but actually think it substantially helps while shooting one handed. Now I'll be putting it on every one of my undisclosed number of pistols!

Mban2 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I had the 3m grip tape on my gun, and at the range in pouring rain it fell off without even touching it. Back to the drawing board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gun do you have? Yeah, I cleaned with soap, then alcohol pads. I shoot a glock gen 4 34. I want to try something that is thinner so it will conform more easily to the factory texture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Make sure you "heat" the tape, even if with just a hair drier. I have not had good luck with 3m step tape either. If you are not going to stipple or cut your own from skate tape, like Jessup or others, the Talon grit version wraps are my competition choice for ease of application, and stickiness to frame... IF applied right, degrease, and heat. The Dawsons are ok too but very aggressive grit. FWIW - most soap is basically a lube. I wouldn't use soap to prep the grip, only alcohol or something else that "cuts" and evaporates. If going "permanent" you can also lightly sand the areas under where the grip tape will be... and then prep. Lastly, a permanent solution would be to epoxy the grip and apply grit. I use a Talon rubber version on my carry G19. Good stuff for not wearing out your clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k80clay Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I bought a 4" wide roll of rubber texture grip tape off amazon. Been cutting my own for several guns here and there out of it. I think it was 4"x 10 feet long or something for $20. Clean with lighter fluid, then alcohol, apply, heat with heat gun (gently). I always thought the skateboard tape was a bit too krinkly - like bending a piece of cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkeejoe Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I just buy a roll of skateboard grip tape, then cut it to fit the portions of the grip I want to cover and stick it on. My limited G35 has had the same tape for around 3,000 rounds now and it is still good. When it does lose grip, I'll just cut off another piece of skate tape and do it again. I think the entire roll of skateboard tape was like $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eureka1911 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I got 3 feet of clear non-slip tape at a hardware store. Grippy as hell and so far (a few thousand rounds) has not worn down. In addition, it stays stuck, even when I use brake cleaner to spray off the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same answer s Angel except I just stopped by a skate shop and grabbed some. I also agree that I’ll never have to buy any again (unless I lose it, which is pretty damn likely).

It's desiged for outdoor use so holds up to moisture etc. they make a few colours and more importantly different textures too. +1 ..... $1 per foot at ACE Hardware.

jrswanson1 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I walked into a local skateboard shop and picked out a sheet of woodland camo deck tape in 2009. The tape is working as good as new after 9 years. I used that pistol for Limited USPSA and Tacops 3-gun. i cut it to shape and stuck it on. It's been sprayed with brake cleaner every once in a while. It's just a little dirtier now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
