This guide details how to apply silicone carbide grips to firearms for enhanced traction, similar to skateboard tape. The process involves using JB Weld as an adhesive and 46-70 grit silicone carbide powder, with careful taping to define grip areas. The modification is described as semi-permanent for polymer frames and easily reversible on firearms with replaceable grip panels.
This video details the process of applying a silicone carbide grip enhancement kit to a Glock 19X. The instructor demonstrates preparing the factory grip, masking specific areas like the magazine well, applying the mixture, and forming custom features such as a gas pedal. The resulting grip is described as significantly more tactile and grippy than factory or stippled surfaces, though it adds slight girth and can interact with holsters.
