| My p30 grip seems to get slippery when my hands get sweaty in this Texas heat. Any idea how to help with this will stippling the grips more help |
|
I hate the slipperiness of plastic frames when they get wet––or when my hands start to sweat, so all of my game guns (and my duty weapon) wear skateboard tape. This works fine for guns like 2011s, and GLOCKs, as the sides are flat. When I started shooting a P30, I had a difficult time getting the tape to adhere for more than about 3 weeks at a time of shooting and dry-firing because the grip is so round and contoured.
The most effective coverage I got looks like this: 
I finally got fed up with the tape coming off, and switched to this: 
46 grit rock tumbling media adhered with 2-part epoxy. It's more aggressive than it looks (the light colored stuff in the grit is my skin), and I really like it––and it doesn't come off. Probably not a good idea for a carry gun, though. |

In the first, is the mag unseated or that an aftermarket extended one? |

Have you considered stippling the side plates as they are easily replaced if you aren't happy with the results? I usually shoot my P30LS with gloves but I've thought about stippling an extra pair of side plates for mine.
The funny thing is most folks online bitch about how rough the grip is. They must not shoot much

They must not shoot much Or we are carrying IWB with the grip rubbing directly against bare skin.

I carry mine IWB with a t-shirt between me and the gun and I haven't had a problem in over a year or daily carry. |
