speed Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 anybody know if Erick wesselmman is still in business making grip tape for our guns? thanks al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 His website is still up but he's not actively supporting sales. The e-store was still active and I tried to place an order. After a couple of unanswered emails, I lucky to get a refund from PayPal. There was one online dealer that had some for sale (only the small frame Glocks) that's it. Eric was the 1st to come out with "fitted" grip tape & it was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 I have Friend who sent him monies and never received anything and no response. People call him and leave messages and nobody's getting a response. I guess he has no choice but to call pay pal and let them handle this. Thanks!

Polymer Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I ordered some a couple months ago. It took about 3 weeks for order to ship. He's not very responsive with communication but he still is making them apparently. Best grips by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperboy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I was just thinking about this the other day! Polymer, do you have an idea when you placed your last order was it 2 months or a year ago? The last time I ordered from Eric was 2013 and that was the first time I got a weird feeling about him. I did eventually get the order but it took a while and without any communication. Surprising since years prior he was lightning fast in delivering, also very friendly on email. He makes a good product and I do not mind waiting, but don't want to order if he's not even alive anymore and everyone seems to be just going thru paypal to get refunds. The longer you wait tho the less likely paypal will honour a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD45 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 He used to be a regular on this forum. He was super helpful and seemed to always service his customers. We watched him start Trugrip on here. I wish he would have at least made a statement about the company before he disappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniperboy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thanks for taking the time to respond Polymer. I don't appreciate the fact that he is not communicative, and hate to reward such behaviour. However its good to know that he is still alive and actually delivers. In the end I suppose that is all that matters and your experience is a hard data point. I mean when was the last time you waited 10 years for a custom pistol(s)? Oh yeah I am! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan R. Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 1+ for Talon...nice product. Put it on my M & P Core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperboy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Against my better judgement I went ahead and ordered some TruGrips. Long story short. No communication and no product after 2 months and I decided to get paypal involved and got my money back. A shame as I really loved the product.

Have you looked at the Dawson ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperboy Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 No Eric did not respond to the Paypal claim. BTW, I take full responsibility of my choices here and am glad Paypal refunded in my favour. Sad it did not turn out differently since I do like the Tru Grip. I use it on my Glock 26 and think the one I have can last me another year : ) so I have time to evaluate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheiny13 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Check out the grip tape at Manny Braggs site. I have it for my mp and it seems pretty dang close to identical to Trugrip. http://store.mannybragg.com/t/gun--mag-related-products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polymer Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Randomly ran across this http://sand-paper-pistol-grips.com/sppg_web_site_008.htm I have no experience with these. People have said manny bragg tape is the most course. Edited November 13, 2016 by Polymer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have always gotten grip tape from skateboard shops. They usually sell it $8 for two square feet. Even with frequent changing, it still lasts a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
