There are many old posts on how to stipple and/or create a sandpaper grip finish. Relatively few talk about using a smooth finish. Is this a perception or reality? Let's find out!

I have no prefference because I live in a dry climate and my hands tend to sweat very little so there is no difference. When I am out at Camp Perry or other points where humidity is a factor, stippling really helps. Isabel.

It's the way you worded the question. I have used gritty media on parts of my grips, but not the whole grip.

I would have picked Gripy media and smooth if I could have. AP- I made my own with epoxy and sand. Did not want to try and stipple the bondo. On the FP smooth seems to work best since the grip holds my hand and it makes it easier to remove my hand after shooting

Which Grips?

The next question should be how many people prefer the grip because it's what came with the pistol? I'll bet the majority have not ventured into something different.

Whew... that's a GREAT point. Probably worthy of it's own poll.
