How a gun feels and functions in your hand is a very subjective matter. Ask two fellow shooters what gun they like to shoot the best and you\u2019ll probably get two different answers: One loves a Commander-sized 1911, the other a CZ-75. They\u2019ll both talk about history and reliability and accuracy and all that, but usually you\u2019ll hear a comment about how it \u201cjust feels right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sometimes we carry guns that function \u201cgreat\u201d but only feel \u201cgood.\u201d These could feel better in hand. And by feel better<\/em> I mean getting a better grip, for comfort or purchase (grip quality). If you have a gun that meets all your defensive requirements and feels good in hand, you\u2019ve found a great gun and fit. If you have a gun that meets all your defensive requirements but could use a little help in the feel\/fit department, consider these five ways of improving the grip.<\/p>\n

1. Wrap-On Grips<\/h2>\n
\"Get<\/a>

The stocks on the Kahr P45 are good as-is but they’re great when wrapped in Talon Grips — the rubberized version. Talon sells theirs for around $20<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Wrap-on or wraparound grips, such as those offered by Talon Grips<\/a>, provide a second surface you wrap around the stocks of your gun. They\u2019re custom-fabricated for specific gun makes and models and provide either a rubberized surface or sandpaper-like surface to improve purchase. The grips adhere via a sticky backing and, after they\u2019re on, you warm them up with a hair dryer to more or less seal them in place.<\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong> The grip surface adds virtually no girth to the stocks of the gun and there\u2019s no interference with any of your gun\u2019s accessories or holsters. You can peel them off if they wear out or if you want to change to something else.<\/p>\n

Con:<\/strong> This is not a permanent solution. The wrap adhesive and bonding will eventually loosen and you\u2019ll have to do the whole process again.<\/p>\n

2. G10 Grip Panels<\/h2>\n
\"Get<\/a>

These good-looking blue grip panels are made from G10 — a very strong polymer. The ridged pattern increases purchase, even though there’s no change to the gun’s front strap or back strap. VZ G10 grips<\/a> range in price depending on your gun and the style you choose.<\/p><\/div>\n

For guns with removable grip panels, adding G10 panels, such as those offered by VZ Grips<\/a>, in a scale-like pattern or texture can yield a significant increase in purchase. G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate \u2014 in other words, a very strong composite plastic \u2014 that can be formed in myriad patterns. Adding G10 panels alone can provide a helpful increase in purchase, but you might want to also consider adding or changing your gun\u2019s front strap and\/or back strap to increase it even further.<\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong> It\u2019s always nice to change out an actual part as opposed to merely adding a second surface to a gun. Also, unique designs abound.<\/p>\n

Con:<\/strong> Some G10 patterns sport very aggressive textures and, while they increase purchase, they might actually reduce comfort.<\/p>\n

3. Rubber Grip Sleeve<\/h2>\n
\"Get<\/a>

Pictured above is aHandall Jr. small size grip sleeve in pink, it\u00a0retails for $9.95<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Rubber grip sleeves, such as Hogue\u2019s <\/a>Handall<\/a>, require no adhesive but simply slip on a gun\u2019s stocks. They don\u2019t slip on easily, but the brief wrestling match you\u2019ll endure to get them on will reward you with a sure and solid grip with a lot of purchase. Grip sleeves might include finger notches in the front strap, a higher-riding back strap, palm swells, texturing and more.<\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong> Whatever the features, the rubber alone does a great job of increasing purchase no matter the temperature, moisture or other conditions in which it is used.<\/p>\n

Con:<\/strong> Sometimes clothing can hang up on the rubber, not allowing a covering garment to drape down and over the gun.<\/p>\n

4. Skateboard Tape<\/h2>\n
\"Get<\/a>

You can purchase skateboarding tape <\/a>for as low as $2.50 per foot. But apply it at your own risk.<\/p><\/div>\n

Moving into a bit more of the DIY realm, some shooters have cut pieces of skateboard tape and wrapped it around their gun\u2019s stocks <\/a>to increase purchase. Generally, the sandpaper-like surface of skateboard tape (or the similar version of Talon Grips) is meant for use in competition, where a rock-solid grip is essential to fast and sure pistol manipulation. But some people use it on their carry guns too.<\/p>\n

Pro:<\/strong> A sandpaper-like grip offers superior purchase.<\/p>\n

Con:<\/strong> Clothing (or skin) in contact with this material gets abraded. Plus it can look horrible. And use it enough and it will eventually wear away, requiring replacement at some point.<\/p>\n

5. Home Stippling<\/h2>\n
\"Get<\/a>

Here’s my personal Glock 19, a gun which has a number of customizations, including its third stippling job done by yours truly with a soldering iron and a sanding block.<\/p><\/div>\n

For those OK with physically modifying a gun\u2019s stocks\u00a0\u2014 in the case of a polymer-framed pistol, actually melting and reforming it \u2014 stippling kits <\/a>are available. Basically, a glorified soldering iron with various patterned tips, a stippling kit allows you to put the ultimate customization to your gun.<\/p>\n

Pro: It\u2019s your design and no other gun will be like it. You\u2019ll get outstanding purchase.<\/p>\n

Con: You might seriously harm your gun in the process, void any warranty and increase your liability should something bad happen. And you can also easily wreck the look of your gun.<\/p>\n

My Favorites<\/h2>\n

As a side note, many guns now ship with additional grip accessories, such as modular back straps, to aid with fit for larger or smaller hands. Sometimes, this is all that\u2019s needed to improve fit\/feel.<\/p>\n

\"Get<\/a>

The CZ 2075 RAMI.<\/p><\/div>\n

For the record, the best feeling gun out of the box for me is a CZ 2075 RAMI with the aluminum frame and rubber grip panels. No changes needed. Perfect fit. For all the other guns that have made their way in and out of my world, I\u2019ve used all of these means of improving grip quality. And I\u2019ve discovered they all have their strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n

My favorite grip improvements are the G10 panels, especially for 1911s, and the stippling, which I\u2019ve done to my Glock 19 more than once. Yep, 1911s and Glocks are regular carry pistols for me, despite their differences, and each can benefit from a bit of grip customization. If I\u2019m not up for stippling a pistol grip, then I\u2019ll opt for Talon Grips (the rubberized surface) and just plan on changing them out every so often. I do enjoy a rubber grip sleeve, but only if I\u2019m open carrying in the backcountry. But I can see how police officers and military personnel would benefit from such an accessory given their harsher environments. I tried skateboard tape. Once. For about an hour. I\u2019ll only use it again if I\u2019m going to compete with my gun.<\/p>\n

What is your best fit\/feel gun out of the box? If you\u2019ve made changes to your grips or stocks to improve purchase, what\u2019s your preferred solution?<\/p>\n
