Get'em Duck Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I see guys using alot of different things to help keep their grip in hot humid sweaty conditions. What works best to keep your grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 On a 2011 I'd say a stippled grip, for a Glock/XD/M&P Tru Grip tape and with either add Pro Grip cream for your hands when it's really humid. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2A Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) I hate using it but Pro Grip works 100% get the lotion not to impressed with the spray. Edited July 13, 2009 by John2A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay870 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I use ProGrip cream. I realized that most of my grip-slip problems were the fingers of my support hand slipping on across the fingers of my strong hand, and no amount of skate tape helps that.

J-Ho Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I would ask your avatar. She apparently knows how to handle situations like the one you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get'em Duck Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 J-Ho, I know what she uses and I think I'll stay with the synthetic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Guessing you shoot a 1911. I don't know a thing about this outfit but I dig the grips anyhow. Check out the "Black Canvas". Add stripling or even skateboard tape to the front strap and your "grippy". http://www.vzgrips.com/ Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustin Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 For no slip 1911 grips try simonich gunner grips. When shooting the glock I have started using rosin and it works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Thinkin Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I don't have the problem but I know many race drivers and motocross riders use anti-perspirant on their hands and even their foreheads. May be worth a try. It works for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergie Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I use rosin. You can get in a shaker bottle here. http://www.ithacasports.com/rosinpowder.html It works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoterbeast Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Prefer rosin bag - cheap - like $1.49 at bowling supply place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm with G-man. Stippled grips, no need for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holshot Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Pro Grip Cream mainly. I keep some hand wipes or baby wipes in my bag to clean my hands occasionally which seems to help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLL1911 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Sometimes it is oil that dripped into the grip. I do clean the grip at home before the match and at the match I use rosin to keep it dry and oil free. For the hands, rosin, Pro Grip or hand sanitizer (alcohol gel) they all keep the hands dry and oil free. For the grip there is another option: tennis racket overgrip, like Tourna grip, Gamma grip and similar overgrips. It works pretty well for me playing tennis or shooting here in South Florida. You can find it in any sports store, even at Wal-Mart. If you are not familiar with tennis stuff, here is how it looks like: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_sg?url=s...amp;x=0&y=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokshwn Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Stippling doesn't seem to work worth a damn when it is wet regardless of the level of "bite". I have settled on Pro Grip cream on the outside of my dominant hand and the inside of my offhand with TruGrip tape on the grip. Haven't been with too little grip since.

DonT Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just a heads up. When ProGrip is not available, PrinceGrip seems to be the same stuff and is found in the tennis dept of most sporting good stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get'em Duck Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks for the replies, I'm just looking for a little extra grip I run a kimber 1911 with VCD grips and a grip tape front strap. I was mostly looking for something to keep my hands dry. I bowled for years maybe I'll break out my rosin bag and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
