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.
This video demonstrates a DIY stippling process for a Glock firearm, aiming to improve grip. The creator, a novice at stippling, outlines areas on the frame and applies a dot pattern to create a sandpaper-like texture. The process is shown on PMAGs first as practice before moving to the Glock frame, focusing on areas for the thumb and finger rest. The creator emphasizes safety and notes that the stippling is particularly useful when wearing gloves.
This guide details how to create a custom pommel and palm swell on an AR-15/M16/M4 pistol grip using RAT grip pads.
