Davidp1911 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) I wanted to know what shooters are using to cover the new STI aluminum grips. Trugrip tape? Brooks Tactical System AGrip? Machine checkering? Edited August 24, 2009 by Davidp1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I put Tru-Grip on mine. It was just too squirmy to me without it. BTW, mine is a small grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidp1911 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks SLM for the reply. I will most likely purchase the smaller version. How long have you had the Tru-Grip on your frame? Have you had to replace it after a few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had to replace it after a few months? I just put the grip on a bit over a week ago. I shot it in an indoor three stage match and didn't really notice the "squirmyness" of it in that match but next day was a five stage outdoor match. That club has a bay that has 25 to 30 pieces of steel and you often shoot 20 of them with just a little movement to shoot around vision barriers. I had to almost stop to regrip the gun it had twisted around in my hands so much. I put the tape on and shot the MI Section this past weekend and it was a TON better. How long it's going to hold up... I don't know yet but I cleaned the grip with 99.9% alcohol that I get from work so there wouldn't be anything on it.

00bullitt Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Tru Grip is no longer but there is a relacement called Gorilla grip made by Millenium Custom. Forum dealer CPWSA carries it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Tru Grip is no longer ... Really? I talked to Manny just over a week ago and he told me S_I Tru-Grips were being lasered as we spoke and he should have them in a week. That would make it now. Color me confused.

You're right,sorry....that is not 100% correct. They have been totally non responsive so one can only assume they are done. I would not expect to see much of their product.

Where do I find Tru-Grips? http://www.ericwesselman.com/store/STI_SV.html Thanks guys for the recommendations. Which one is the better buy as far as grip feel and longevity? TruGrip or Gorilla Grip?

00bullitt Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The Gorilla Grip is a new product that Derek at Millenium Custom is cutting. They are cut from a slightly differnt type of grip tape. To me it seems a little more durable and a bit more aggressive. The Gorilla Grip is to new to attest to its durability and longevity....but it is readily available. The Gorilla Grip is cut pretty much identical to the Tru Grip also.

shooterbenedetto Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I use skateboard tape? work in all my guns!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P. Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I bought a box of 20 sheets of the same skateboard tape. I make all my own grips PLUS, I have enough extra to put on my garage steps to help my 15 year old dog make it up without slipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTrout40 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Has anyone tried the Caspian grip tape from Brownells? I know that Caspian is a little slimmer than the STI so I would think that it would fit the S grip, but I'm not sure about the B grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austex Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Has anyone tried a strip of tape along the bottom of the trigger guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt2ace Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have never seen a need for it on the trigger guard of my Al grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
