SNORT! I haven't heard of that stuff for ages!Had to select "Other type not listed!".
If I were forced to select a glocK I think I'd have to go with Mr. Zog's Sex Wax.
My hands looked like that when I used to golf twice a week. Been single no girlfriend for several months now but still not that bad.
Perhaps he could change to a different type of hand lubricant...You forgot a poll choice option:
Get rid of your smooth and slippery lady-baby hands, and get some grippy calloused up man-hands!
I guess that could be, "other"….. LOL
I was thinking of other man-stuff, like building something without wearing gloves, but hey…. you do yourself!Perhaps he could change to a different type of hand lubricant...

I'm not quite sure if there's a vague reference to Richard Nixon in that post….Again there is no right answer if it's something like a double stack Glock where the grip is already big I'd lean towards stippling even though it destroys the value. I found sometimes it's just something different feels good. I've found months later when I take the grip tape off im usually fine with the original grips. All the tricky Dicky doodads in the world won't make you an expert shooter if you don't get out and shoot a lot, And if you get out shoot a lot you find you don't need to tricky Dicky doodads.
The kind that makes your gun smell like Christmas is my suggestionPerhaps he could change to a different type of hand lubricant...
I use both the Talon tape and a stippled palm swell on my full sized M&P. It isn't a concealed carry or EDC gun, but does see 2-4k rounds a year plus a lot of dry fire. Tape lasted about 4 years before it needed replacement. Correct installation, including surface prep, is the key to tape lasting longer.Stipple. The tape grips can / will fail and you have to keep replacing them. I like hogue rubber grips on metal guns with replaceable grip panels. I used to use the Handall slip ons, but they slip too much. On gen 3 Glocks I used to cut a piece of bike inner tube and stretch it over the grip, before I just started going to stippled guns.

On my M&P, I stippled the back strap, and stippled memory pads for my shooting thumb and support thumb. On Glocks, I'll do full grip stipple.
Fitting the "Other" category though - just buy a gun with factory grippy texture, like an M2.0 M&P, or the new Walther, or a classy metal gun and put some nicely checkered wood or micarta grips on it!

The Walther's texture is grippy without being a clothing shredder. Glocks sand-paper like RTF grip on the fish-gill guns was good.
Stippling done right is superior to grip tape, rubber, or smooth guns.
