Why add traction to the trigger guard?

[cornstalker]

I ask in ignorance. Why stipple the bottom of the trigger guard?

Depending on your grip, it can add a nice friction point to assist in locking down your support hand.

It can help to lock-in the support hand. I don't think it's a big difference, but I've sometimes put some skateboard tape on the bottom of a Glock trigger guard.

I will try that. I have never noticed slippage in that area, but I guess that you don't know what you don't know.

Thanks for the replies.

I do not find it helpful. Adding grip to the upper support hand side of the grip is much more important for me.

That's for when a busted up Glock knuckle is just not enough and you want to add a busted up Glock phalanx.

After taking a class that didn’t stop for minor inconveniences like torrential downpours, I learned I want all the grip I can get. I want aggressive texture everywhere my hands touch the gun.

Granted, I’ve got pretty callused hands from working construction.

Hey dude...

Some shooters apply a "pinch and roll" technique where they contact the underside of the trigger guard with their support hand and then roll it onto the strong hand and gun. Stippling or grip-tape helps prevent the support hand from coming forward away from the strong hand at all and it can help lock the hands together. That being said, I've tried it and didn't like it too much.
