Greetings,
New poster here.... My wife and I recently traded in our old guns to get matching M&P 9mm (my fns 40 and her Ruger LC9). We scored a good deal on black friday from cabelas (400.00 out of pocket for 2 guns). So far we like them but plan to put apex triggers in them. We prefer the crisp break. Im considering stippling my backstrap but I have noticed many people do entire grip. Would the backstrap offer enough aggressive traction to the grip or does the entire grip need to be done? |

Unless you just really like stippling, I would consider a set of Talon rubberized grips instead. They take the slickness out of the grip and add no thickness to it. They may even cushion the felt recoil a tiny bit. Try these out. IMHO they fit the best out of all the decal grips, and they have a few textures available. I use the original as a template and cut my own from skateboard tape now, and that has worked great. I just started stippling my own guns, and prefer it, but for 16 bucks, you can see if you need extra grip. Stipple your own backstrap, and try the above grip.....its a great combo. Apex kit is nearly a must, not because the stocker sucks, but because the apex is THAT nice. |

I've stipple a dozen M&Ps. I have sweaty hands and live in Texas, so I prefer stippling the entire grip. However, stippling just the backstrap will still be an improvement. If you decide you don't like it then you can get a replacement for $3. ETA: I stipple duty and competition M&Ps. I wouldn't stipple a CCW piece that would be against the skin. |

Buy a soldering iron ($15 from Amazon) and practice on the backstraps you aren't going to use. If you screw up the backstrap you plan to use or you just don't like it, you can buy a replacement cheap enough. |
