Sticky Grippy Stuff??

**Animal_Mother556** · 03-14-09, 08:31

I am looking to do something to my plain jane Glock 21 and 22. I have seen that many people have some kind of gripping material that sticks to the slide and grip. Where can I buy this? It looks to me it's almost a sandpaper type material.

Thank you in advance

Sounds like you are talking about skateboard tape. Some guys use that on the grips, but it is kinda course. It can make your hands kinda raw after a good shooting session. But hey, if it keeps you from dropping your pistol in a gun fight it might be worth it. There's also just regular industrial grip tape which is used on stuff like ladder steps. It's pretty much just like skateboard tape and you can pick it up at Lowe's.

Thank you Marcus. Yup. Thats what I was talking about. Not only will it help me hang on to my pistol...I will FINALLY have something in common with the "skater boyz". Thank God.

I like skateboard tape vs. the industrial stuff as I've found some of the industrial type tape is thicker and coarser than the skateboard tape.

I used non-skid tape I found in the paint section at the hardware store.

I've used this too, but it's pretty rough on the hands. As mentioned above, skateboard tape seems to be a little finer and thinner. No skateboard shops in my town though. That's a good thing, right?

Here's a link i found with free shipping and various colors, even camo. Pink tape is what convinced my wife to let me get her her first Glock...

Trugrip is the best grip tape I have ever used

You heat it up and stretch it around the pistol grip.
The stuff stays on forever (almost)
