I am looking to do something to my plain jane Glock 21 and 22. I have seen that many people have some kind of gripping material that sticks to the slide and grip. Where can I buy this? It looks to me it’s almost a sandpaper type material.
Thank you in advance
Sounds like you are talking about skateboard tape. Some guys use that on the grips, but it is kinda course. It can make your hands kinda raw after a good shooting session. But hey, if it keeps you from dropping your pistol in a gun fight it might be worth it. There’s also just regular industrial grip tape which is used on stuff like ladder steps. It’s pretty much just like skateboard tape and you can pick it up at Lowe’s.
Thank you Marcus. Yup. Thats what I was talking about. Not only will it help me hang on to my pistol…I will FINALLY have something in common with the “skater boyz”. Thank God.
I like skateboard tape vs. the industrial stuff as I’ve found some of the industrial type tape is thicker and coarser than the skateboard tape.
I used non-skid tape I found in the paint section at the hardware store.
I’ve used this too, but it’s pretty rough on the hands. As mentioned above, skateboard tape seems to be a little finer and thinner. No skateboard shops in my town though. That’s a good thing, right? 
Here’s a link i found with free shipping and various colors, even camo. Pink tape is what convinced my wife to let me get her her first Glock…
Trugrip is the best grip tape I have ever used
You heat it up and stretch it around the pistol grip.
The stuff stays on forever (almost)

I second the trugrip choice. All of my Glocks wear them. I can’t recomend them enough!
Skateboard grip tape or you could also check out the grip tape that goes on the magpul mags from Rainier arms.
Do you guys just stick it on over the already grippy surface of the Glock? Or do you have to file that smooth? Thanks again guys
clean the grip real well and then stick the trugrip on
nothing to it
Another vote for TruGrip. I shoot competitively and have tried just about all of them but TruGrip is by far the best. The skateboard grip tape sheds and the grit isn’t as “sticky” as the TruGrip. I change it out once a year but I shoot a lot, it will certainly last much longer than the skateboard grip tape. There is also Agrip, it has a strange kind of velvet feel. I used it for a while and liked it but after a three day class in the rain I started looking for other options.
Why not just look at www.boresightsolutions.com. Ben’s work is great!
My local Menards hardware store has the stair tape in the black coarse skater material and in rubber. I put the rubber on my XD 45C over a year ago and it is still holding strong, even with it being my carry gun. I tried the skater style and it was tearing up my clothes.
+1
I agree completely! thought I only use it on my USPSA guns…

I will post pics of Ben’s work when I get to a computer:
Thinner grip, full stippling either as subtle or aggressive as you like, a molded mag-ramp for reloads and a 1911 grip angle. I couldn’t be happier.
