Thanks. It cost a bundle to do.   ;)

It's non-skid tread tape for stairs and doorsteps (basically skateboard tape). Got it at Lowe's for like $5.00 for a 8" x 24" sheet. Very sticky. Just cut it to fit, cleaned the front strap with denatured alcohol and stuck it on. It's held up for over 5 years, and I still have plenty for when it needs replacing. Also cut out a set of side panels for a friends Glock 22.



 ;D    ;D    ;D   I hear Bill Laughridge of Cylinder and Slide has adopted your technique......I love it!!

I do that to all my 1911's.  I take the grip panels off and leave the deck tread long so it's covered by the grips when put back on, just to help keep it more secure.  Not that it's going anywhere.

Maybe we need to start a "Helpful Tips & Tricks" thread............. ;D
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

That's the way I do it too. I bought a whole roll of it that's 2" wide.

Maybe this dosen't exzactly fit here, but my dream carry / woods gun would be a Smith & Wesson 586 converted to .41 special.  8)
There is room for all of God's creatures ....., That would be on my plate right next to the taters and gravy.
