Twilk73 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Anyway to add weight to a pistol grip when there is no back strap or slot to add to. I’m thinking maybe some sort of tape but whatever it is it has to be solid. So glue and tape lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronemus Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 You might try adhesive wheel weights (intended for aluminum wheels) - very good adhesive and fairly thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhittin Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I haven’t done this yet but I’m going to try JB Weld mixed with tungsten granules and/or tungsten powder. Bought granules on eBay and powder is available on Amazon (it’s used to balance golf clubs). Who knew! I’ve used JB weld on lots of 2011 grips with great results. I think this will work to add extra weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a steel guide rod and I run an x300 for idpa on it. So I was hoping to balance out the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
season94 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 On my GSP, I drill out the rear of the grip palm rest, fill it with lead then put standard plug in it. It's completely legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwhittin Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Not yet. It’s on my list but been too busy. We are hosting the Colorado State match next week. Should have time mid to late OCT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
