pachmayr grip slipping. help

[srice425]

hey guys, i used a pach #4 grip on my kahr pm9. while shooting it, the grip slips quite a bit and gets turned, etc.

anyone had this problem or know a remedy?

I can't seem to find the thread now, maybe it was on a different forum but I did read where a guy using the bike tube as a grip sprayed some hair spray in it before slipping it on and once dried it held really well. Others agreed that it worked well. Might be worth a try.

does it hold up well?

I have a Hogue Handall Jr on a P9 that works great. Somewhere I read that you might have to trim a little off the bottom for a PM9, but that grip really helps the overall feel and grip.

A couple solutions that I've heard are;
* Spread a bit of clear fingernail polish under the grip.
* place a layer of clear packing tape around the grip, followed by a layer of plastic electrical tape, both underneath the grip sleeve.

I use the Pachmayr as well, but mine stays put, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

Sounds like the #4 is to big, use the Hogue Handall Jr. I found using the Jr. on most small grips works great. For an easier install soak the the Jr. in cup of hot water to get it on with less effort.
