I would love that for my P-95, it's the old style smooth polymer |
Here is a pic of the P97 I just got. I wanted to add some texture to the grip without using a slip on grip such as the Hogue Handall, nor did I want to use a stick on grip. I used the same woodburning tool I have used to do my Glocks and HK. I liked the look of the factory grip, so I just added some texture to the portions of the grip that are in between the grooves. It retains the look of the factory design, but adds enough texture to greatly improve the feel.

| Thanks guys. It took all of about 15 minutes to do. Since there is actually very little surface area that got stippled, it went very quickly. The hardest part was keeping the tip of the woodburning tool from going down into the grooves. When I started I figured I would have to do the front and back straps too, but once I got to this point I checked the feel. I was very happy with the grip. The deep groves that are molded in already give a pretty good grip, the stippling adds just the right amount of rough surface to make it feel more secure in your hands. I took it out to the desert last week and shot it on a 100 + degree day. You can bet my hands got sweaty and the pistol never once felt like it was too slippery or anything like that. |
