Skateboard Tape is Awesome!

[dross]

I know many of you already know about this, but I put skateboard tape on all the places on my CZ P01 that I would like to have checkered, and the effect was amazing! My accuracy went way up due to my ability to hold the weapon more securely. When I tried to grip tight in the past, my hand still slipped around, I think. Anyway, it helped tremendously.

I have it on my Kimber. It does feel better with grip.

I'll bite. Here's mine:

Worthless? That's harsh. Perhaps not as good, but without any worth? I'll try to get some pics up tonight.

I would like to see some pics. Did you have any problems getting the tape to stick on front and backstrap?

How easy is this tape to remove? Or to adjust if you put it somewhere you really didn't mean to.

Does it snag on clothing when carrying concealed?

Krylon Textured paint works wonders on Rifle mags....

Can you pop some fat ollies with the handgun after the grip tape is attached? (former skaterboarder WAY back in the day..)

Does the skate tape ruin the finish after being left on or does it easily clean up? I have a park'd finish on my 1911 and would maybe like to add some personal touches to it.

Edit if I would get different grips. Or should I keep the hogue?

I know we used to have problems keeping the stuff on our skateboards. Some brands were a lot better than others though. So I suppose it would depend on if it was cheap tape or not. Either way, I don't think you'd have a problem. Nothing a little acetone couldn't fix anyway. (just take off the grips before using acetone!) The sticky stuff is almost like a gummy/rubbery sort of glue and doesn't dry on.

I did my hi-point C9 back in the day (last November). It did work great, but tore up holsters

tape

i have had it on my nite stand gun for years. really helps, not only for the way it grips your hand for shooting but also for gun retention. hold it and have someone try and pull it out of your hand with and without. if anybody near franklin needs any i have enough to do every gun on this site. its free if you want some

Use it on my Glock for shooting sports. Prolly wouldn't work so well for carry.

That is was i was going to ask. If it is your carry gun wouldn't the left side rub on your skin (for right handed CC). Also you think if this did happen, only tapping the right side would help with the grip?

Get with the program and order it from this guy TruGripUSA.com CNC machined, used by the FBI, made by a shooter for shooters. 1911, Glock, XD, S_I, Sig 226/9, M&P

That's what I use on my Buckmark Camper. I bought the cheapest version of Buckmark, then realized that the slide wasn't designed as well as the more expensive models. The serrations were at the wrong places, not where I'd grab them, and there's no "grabbing ears" like on a Ruger 22/45 or other Buckmarks:

So I used some Black Magic grip tape to fix that, made by Shorty's(Shorty's Skateboards - The Most Complete Hardware Company in the World), which supposed to be the best out there. It makes chambering the first round, especially when the hammer is not cocked, that much easier...

Here're some pics for those that lack imagination (just kiddin')

I also added a HiViz front sight, just what my aging eyes need...
