Sweaty hands and shooting

[odugrad]

I took my son to the range the other day and we were shooting my Walther PPQ. His hands were pretty sweaty and he was complaining that it was effecting his grip. Anyone have any tips in reducing this? I've heard of some people putting grip tape on their grips.

Thanks!

Yep. If you don't want to get the frame professionally stippled, talon grips are the best direction

Yup,and make sure you clean and install them EXACTTLY like they recommend. I have a set on my CZ 07 and they have been on there for at least 5 years & this is my EDC/main range gun ! They hold up well if you do your part.

I use 3M Safety Walk, way cheaper than TalonGrips.

Alternatively, climbing chalk is a pretty popular solution in USPSA.

Or get a bunch of Captains of Crush and get working on those. The long way around, but the best way.

Spray on grit is my favorite. I have used Brownells version and a few different types marketed by paint and adhesive companies.

I would recommend antiperspirant, less likely to get in the action than chalk.

Yep, 3M grip tape has been my solution for years. Aggressive grip texture helps too if that is an option. My Colt Government wears VZ Gunnar grips, a checkered MSH and grip tape on the front strap. My hands get a good workout almost everyday which does help.

You can always rub some dirt on your hands in a pinch.

I've always had the sweaty hand problem. Grip texture only does so much because my main issue is that the support hand fingers slip on the backs of my strong hand fingers when sweaty. A bit of climbing/gym chalk on the back of my strong hand has helped.
