I plan on building up my LP10 grips for a better fit to my hand. Would a semi-flexible material like cork or minicell hard foam be allowed? Would grip tape be allowed? Skateboard tape? (sandpaper like adhesive paper). Yes, I have looked at the rules I could find on-line.
Your suggestions will be appreciated.

No rules on material of the grip in the rules, but it needs to be safe.

If it's soft enough for your hand to form it, l would say no.
You would get a curve in the not allowed direction on the palmshelf.

Re: Allowable materials for air pistol grips?
I'm not sure a soft material would give a stable grip anyway at 10m air pistol. It needs to deal with moist hands too.
Most people would use a slow hardening 2-part epoxy putty of which there are many brands. Form with a latex gloved hand and stipple with a carpenters nail while soft .
Of course what feels good at the time may feel bad next day. Its also very easy to suspect the grip when its just plain technique - I should know, I never had any.
Medium grit sandpaper glued on the shelf should be within the rules.
