I just finished up with putting Agrip material on my S&W 3953's grip today. Makes a world of difference.
For those who don't really know what it is, I'm not really sure myself:D It it a grip enhancement material (overlay), similar to skateboard tape, but much more supple. It almost has a velvety feeling on it.
I've had the Agrip material on my XD-45c for about a year an a half now. Hasn't peeled off anywhere and still offers a very sure, tactile purchase, although the velvety feel disappeared long ago.
I like this material because it works, and works well. When I grab the pistol from the holster, there is no slipping of any kind. Also, their claim that it works even better when you hands are sweaty is indeed true from what I've found. It adds much less thickness than a rubber slip-on grip and preserves the pistols thickness. I haven't noticed a problem with it catching on clothes, either. It doesn't eat up clothes, pants, or holsters. It will go on any carry piece I own. I remember when I first got the XD-45c and having to readjust my grip or grip with much extra pressure once my hands would get a little sweaty a little further into a range session. The Agrip material has significantly reduced that issue.
If you've never heard of it, I'd highly suggest you check it out and make up your own mind about it. I really like it and it also is completely reversible (no permanent modifications to the firearm).
Has anyone else tried Agrip? Would love to hear your comments. Have you tried any other grip enhancements? I'd love to see what others are using.
