Grip enhancers

[Bmans45]

It’s hot in Tennessee now and I shot yesterday but suffered from wet hands . One guy I have shot with said he used pro grip . I am considering using using that but it made a mess of his gun . When I ask how hard it was to clean up he said he didn’t know he didn’t clean his gun very often. So what do you guys use and how does it clean up?

I use the Pro Grip but use just enough (trial and error) versus some guys who put a huge amount in their palms. 

 

If I need to clean it off and I’ll clean it occasionally, I use 91% isopropyl alcohol and an old toothbrush to scrub it and blot it dry. Comes out clean enough.

Tried Fast Grip but like Pro Grip better, you don’t need much of it.

I just bought some Gripz from DAA.  It's good.  Doesn't leave any white residue on anything.  Still makes your hands white, but it doesn't seem to get on anything else.  Plus I think you get quite a bit more for the price.

In direct comparison to pro grip in humid Louisiana weather it works about half as well.

I mixed 50/50 pro grip and 91% isopropyl alcohol and it doesn’t leave a lot of the white residue on my grips. It’s a lot easier to clean my palms and saves me more money since a bottle lasts longer too.

 

Give it a try.

 

edit- just make sure you shake it very well prior to using it.

Pro Grip will leave white residue on your gun.  Difficulty in removing it depends a lot on the grip itself.  My limited gun was both not very grippy and impossible to remove the Pro Grip from; I forget who did the texturing.  My first Pro Sx with a Bob grip, was a lot easier to clean.

 

You have to ask yourself whether you care about residue, so long as the solution works for you.  The only way I recall the ease of residue removal is from when I put them up for sale and wanted them to look purdy.

I stole an idea from a rock climbing friend I use something called

Metolius Eco Ball Alternative to chalk Leaves no trace on rock

 like a tennis ball sized rosin bag without the white chalky dust.

Very interesting.  We haven't had too much humidity yet so I haven't had the same experience.  Thanks for the heads up.

I use pro grip in the Florida heat, not a problem and I don't use so much as to get white everywhere. 

[Beef15]

I use Dry Hands, residue will build up in a Glock grip, or carbide eventually, wipes right off anything else I guess cause it's not there.

Liquid Grip is the very worst one for coating your gun's grip all up.

 

I've tried rosin, climbing chalk, home brews and pro grip. I keep going back to pro grip, but the deoderant one, not the spray.

I'm in Florida; I use Fast Grip and it works really well. Leaves white residue on hands but not on anything else. I see others using Pro Grip too.

So I recently ran out of Liquid Grip and decided to try Pro Grip. Very first practice session last week my grip is covered in residue. Liquid grip never did that for me in the last 2 years of using it on variety of grip texture.

 

Residue doesn’t matter to me though so I’m going to keep testing the Pro Grip now as initial grip impression was good. They are cheap

enough, test them all or try a friends.

Gamer grip and a towel

I use some liquid grip stuff that I bought at Academy. Works very well. Just use a few small drops before each stage. Seems like people use way too much of this stuff at one time. I didn’t have any white residue problems.

Another vote for Pro Grip.

[Captiontom]

I use liquid chalk and an antiperspirant lotion. I don’t drench my hands in liquid chalk and my gun stays clean

There was a similar thread last year, & there were several suggestions for pole dancer spray grip, don’t know which one. 

[Sarge]

I have a small container of pole dancer grip I keep on hand for shooting in the rain.  I think it’s a bit too strong for just sweaty palms. It’s not really sticky but makes hands feel waterproof.
