Grip Improvement

[Ohsheepdog]

I've owned Kahrs for almost 20 years...a K9, a P9 and several PM9s. My only complaint with the design was having a better purchase on the frame when firing. They can become rather slick when my hands were sweaty or during rapid fire.

I recently decided to do my own Glock grip reduction with application of a bed liner material instead of stippling. I didn't care for the way the stippling felt in my hands or against my skin.

The Glock turned out so well I decided to apply the liner to my PM9 as well. After thoroughly wiping down the frame with rubbing alcohol, I taped off the sections where I wanted to border the lining. Then I taped over the logo on each side of the grip and cut the tape around the logo's outline. After applying three layers of the liner and letting it dry, I carefully took off the tape and Voila!

I'm amazed at how much of a difference the application made. It's very rubbery and adheres to the hand due to the grit inside it and texture I gave it, but I don't even notice it carrying it against my skin while inside the holster.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/4eff9535e945f953b88f3292d7e4b2c4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/40f3092f450185d59da9888054bb27f9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/49a7842688b475cd39546fcbca8c0d48.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/5146f31330c32b9f9a5367238d65ff0f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/86a4fe046bda13cd7ea004149707726f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/3edb1a6bc0f423d31d2d884d892e9f52.jpg

Thanks, guys. It's whataliner industrial with grit. It actually does look a little shiny when you paint it on, but I dabbed it on with a brush to give it more of a robar like texture. If you're in the SW Ohio or N Kentucky area get it to me and I'll take care of it for you.

If you go to their website, they'll send you a 4 oz sample can for free and all you do is pay $8 shipping. It has enough for probably 20 or 30 guns! Here's their website

I got the 4 oz sample enroute, should be here soon. I did the order but it seemed like it messed up so I emailed and got a quick response. Nice folks. Said he'd take care of it. Wanted to know if it was for a gun. They must know what we're up too.
Don't know what I'll try it on but I'll think of something.
Thanks for the info sheepdog.

Thanks for the info sheepdog.Great! I applied it to a friend's duty Sig. Works better than the skateboard tape he had there.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180528/823caa1a4912c42d3d2603e84ae3d3af.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180528/1c5e5d7b3d72853b259e6c8f394ff8ea.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180528/72e5d22ec094c1997235c30121795ed8.jpg
