Hands hurting with grip tape!

[Luke]

Didn't kniw Where to post this, but figured gamers would use grip tape more than normal carry guns.


I have an alma grip job, it's the 40/70 (or something close) grit job he does. Basically it's like a fresh piece of talon or springer grip tape all the time. My hands are killing me, mostly my strong hand ring and middle fanga. This isn't the normal case of "keep using it you will get calluses". This is my calluses hurt post I work with my hands so have good tough hands, nothing crazy but I'll never be mistaken for a desk jockey after a handshake.

It's the part of the strong hand ring finger were a ring would ride, that's my main hot spot. It's like it pushes the callous over and stretches the skin in the joint making it painful. I've been using as much lotion as I can but its not helping. Anybody have any suggestions? Or is this a job for the local nail technician

No thanks. I want the rough texture. Just need to fix my hands. Plus this is permanent to the grip. Alma (team sig) does the grip jobs.

I probably should read more carefully.

Sometimes if your callouses build up too thick the thickness provides leverage to tear the underlying skin. I have sanded down a few.

If I understand Alams grip jobs he adds grit to the grip rather than stippling so I'm guessing sanding down wouldn't help.

Try this, go to Walmart, buy a bike inner tube - cut a grip sized length and slip it over your grip. This was a staple for cops with Glocks before stippling or fingergrooves.

1slow I think this is what needs to happen. Gonna figure out what to use next!

Hope this is of some help.

When I was doing Dan John's 10,000 Swing Kettlebell Challenge (500 swings each of 20 workouts), I had to trim callouses. Currently doing deadlift, DB rows as part of my workout this seems to help keep some callous. I try to keep some callous but not let it get too thick.

The times I was at Rogers Shooting School I was running GL17s with 3M stair tape. It took a while for my hands to harden to it. Lots of daily dry fire draws help keep callouses in place.

I notice that my shooting hand ring finger, little finger get callouses a lot from being crushed into the grip by my strong hand.

Soaking my hands in brine when freshly abraded seems to help as well as nightly treating them with Tuf-Foot. Used brine a lot when I was doing a lot more impact training 20 years ago. It seemed to help. Tuf-Foot was mentioned on a website about foot conditioning, seemed to help my hands.

I have a Canyon Creek XDM with this kind of grip.

Despite having hands toughened by the sharp VZ grips on my CZ pistols, I never could get used to it pinching enough to hurt in certain places.
