Posted October 5, 2008. Graham Smith said: Stippling is forever. In practical terms, that means that stippling is a permanent alteration to the frame which may disqualify the pistol for some sports and may effect the resale price for the same reason. Grip tape, on the other hand, comes off if you don't want it. +1.
The black diamond grip tape is the best I've found, it will stay put for several months even with heavy dry fire. If you want it pre-cut you can get them from Dawson Precision (3 for $15) or you can buy rolls of the black diamond skateboard tape and cut your own.

Quote the USPSA rules please. 8.1.2.6 When applicable, the grip safety may be disabled provided that the primary safety as described in 8.1.2.5 is operable. Production and Carry Optics division handguns are explicitly excluded from this rule (See Appendices D4 and D7, item 22.1).
- Skateboard mob grip tape - Dawson grip tape - 3M safety walk tape - Talon grip tape. What I use 100% now is Talon grip tape. They are more expensive, $9.99 for 5''x7'', but they have just the right thickness and grit. Dawson has good grit but way too thick.
21.4 allows us to apply grip tape in approved areas of the frame defined in E4. 22.2 says we cant add or remove material to alter the factory profile. At what point would the addition of tape change the profile. Is tape exempt from altering the profile. If the factory profile grips are installed ...
No doubt that the grip tape on the slide would be a modification when viewed from that regard. Here is the applicable rule for USPSA Production: 21.6 Aftermarket grips which match the profile of the OFM standard for. the approved handgun and/or the application of grip tape or rubber. sleeves is permitted.
My thoughts are 1) Try different skate board tape. 2) Clean the area with something that absolutely will not leave any residue. 3) Your grip panels are not smooth so you are loosing a lot of area for adhesive to stick. 4) Sand paper my be leaving fine material that the BrakeKleen does completely remove.
Stippling was a no go for me as well mostly because I dont like how it looks! I found Glockworx's silicone carbide grip treatment appealing so looked into it. $165 plus shipping the gun (still not clear on if i had to overnight it or not) so another $100 or so.
I usually wrap the tape around my gun and rubber band, shock-cord, or para-cord in place and leave for a few hours (this is before removing the backing just to get the shape of the grip), then gently heat with a blow-dryer and apply as directed. Then re-wrap and leave overnight.
