Best way to make Glock more grippy?

I have one word for you: rubber.

I like the Talon rubber tape on plastic guns.
I went a while with a 3M rubber stair tread tape on the front strap of my 1911s.

I have a set of Talon Grips that @TC215 sent me for one of my 26's and it works fine for me. The 3M tape has a "sandier" slightly more aggressive feel to it, and it's inexpensive enough to change out as needed.

I appreciate the comparison - I would probably would at least want the 3M variety then for sure.

You need to decide do you want a texture that is optimized for shooting (sharper/coarser) or better for carry against your skin. In wet and colder conditions, more traction is desirable.

Overall, I think the G4/5 texture is pretty good as a compromise. I also have LTT stippling and Boresight.

I want something more optimized for shooting. I almost always wear an undershirt. When I spoke about the few grip experiences I didn't like (RTF2 and Skateboard tape) it has to do with how it feels in my hand and not necessarily against my skin in AIWB. That being said, I don't want it so sharp that its abrading clothing either.

Of the stippling you have had done...do you think one fits more in that goldilocks zone?

Most expensive, but the Boresight level one duty package with the sharp texturing is my favorite. Keeps the stock grip angle but has a trigger undercut and other nice subtle improvements.

I've had Boresight do 6 or 7 guns for me and prefer his work to all other options. If you just want texturing and no other work done the Competition Series package is pretty reasonable at $165.

Got it. Thanks!

Tried stippling, and found that I strongly prefer rubberized decals lke Talon or Tractiongrips.

Athletic tape or strips of skateboard tape work but they can migrate or come loose, causing malfunctions or worse.
