ElkChaser Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Was wondering what people use to keep the hands dry for a better grip while shooting on hit day only keeps to be an issue on my open gun with plastic grip gets a little slick but don’t want to change the gun looking for lotions or some kin’s of power or resign to maintain good grip Edited August 28, 2018 by ElkChaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamese35 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Baby powder, corn starch, and pro grip lotion from dawson precision all work pritty good. Also grip tape. Edited August 28, 2018 by Jamese35 Miss spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Pro grip for hot sweaty hands. Pole dancer grip enhancer for pouring rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 +1 Also on Pro Grip. Borrowed some from a shooter to try and it was great. Lasted quite a while too. I was using the spray kind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtecpaoche Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I also use ProGrip from the bottle. The annoying thing about it is that it leaves white stuff everywhere but I feel like every grip enhancer will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it stays sticky for quite awhile though. You can also go old school with stickem or even deodorants will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Try climbing/gym chalkYou can mix it with isopropyl alcohol as wellSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJer Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Gym chalk, but Pro Grip works great and I should grab a bottle to toss in my range bag. Chalk tends to make a mess, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlvrDragon50 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Pro grip, have chalk too. I am tempted to try the pole dancer stuff since teh chalk ends up all over my mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 This is the pole dancer stuff I use in the rain https://www.amazon.com/iTAC2-Dance-Extra-Strength-Grams/dp/B0047WVACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limitedgun Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have used pro grip for 20 plus years. Especially with a metal grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjsmith223 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 i used dry hands for a while and it worked well but turned everything white. i have recently switched to pro grip. I don't think it keeps my hand as dry but it doesn't turn everything i touch white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcfoto Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 At make ready, I wipe my hands across my pants before touching the gun to load. That and grip tape works for me, but I’m not cursed with sweaty palms. For rainy days, I use a golf towel before stepping to the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’m a fan of just using a rosin bag, I’ve tried pro grip and while it works very well it’s not available locally, the last time I ordered some one bottle came in and was already dried out.
