Decal grips?

Decal grips - sand paper or rubber? Which ones do you guys prefer?


I have always, ALWAYS run Houge slip on grips on ALL of my Glocks, even my large frame .45/10mm ones. I'm finding with my two Gen 3 G30 that the Houge slip ons are either forcing my fingers where I don't want them, or it's the Pearce baseplates on my mags that are not letting my fingers sit where they want to in order to get a better grip on my G30 like I DO get on both my G21's and two G20's (ALL six guns are Gen 3's) The big ones fit my hands great, the two G30 are the problem. :( PS - I have large hands with long fingers BTW.

I want to try a set of the decal grips and see if they help any? I do NOT carry either G30 and if I did it would be OWB, so the sandpaper gips rubbing on my sides would be a non-issue as they are for some I understand?

Anywho, for those that use them, WHICH do you prefer, again sandpaper or rubber decal grips?

Thanks -

Eric

Having fat palms, with stubby fingers, I don't want to increase the size of the grip - so I use tread tape. I just buy it from the hardware store and cut to fit.

Also, I don't use it on the dominant hand side. I want my hand to be able to rotate around the grip to depress the magazine catch.

I rather use the sandpaper style Talon Grips. I like the aggressive surface. I've had mine for about three years now and they are holding strong.

Talons! In Rubber! Absolutely excellent brand of stick-on grip! They fit well, work really well, don't come off unless you want it too, and are decently priced. My highest recommendation.

I have used the Decal Grips in Rubber, they work best for me.
On some of them I put the Pachmayer Grip Glove over the decal grips. It makes the grip thicker for my long fingers, and softer for carry against my skin, when I carry the G-19, and G-23.

I'd just simply get AGrip™... but... i'm also pretty biased... and not afraid to toss in a little shameless plug, now and then. Hey, it's for the children... hahaha...

"Decal grip *under* the "slip-on" grip? Never heard of that, before... but, hey, whatever works. Better that than it slipping around. But you could wrap over it with AGrip and it would keep it in place and eliminate any snagging on the rubber.

Cloth tape works... and it's cheap, initially, but in the long run it will prove way more expensive... and... it won't work as well, at all. But, it will work, and that is why the hockey players use it. But they have to pay for it by buying new gloves all the time... and rewrapping their sticks regularly.
