M&P Shield Stippling

dwymer · Apr 1, 2022

Has anybody worked on the aggressive stippling on the grip of the Shield Plus? I carry IWB at 4 and the side against my skin just plain hurts and the outside acts like velcro for every type of fabric shirt I have tried. Anybody tried to tone that down some?

I have the Shield 45, which has the same grip surface. I should say "had"... I simply used sandpaper and toned them down to a less-aggressive finish. All that was necessary was a damp cloth wipedown on the areas I hit afterward.

I did the same as GerSan just on the left side. Doesn't take much. Also be careful around the back of the mag release as this black coating will come off with sandpaper. Ask me how I know.

I went with a Talon rubber grip on my Shield Plus. IMO it is less sandpaper like than the factory texture and more comfortable for both carrying and shooting.

A few passes on the offending area with 220 grit sandpaper will let you smooth it to your preference. I would rather a grip start out as to aggressive rather than slick. It's easy to make it less aggressive.

I bought a extra Med palm swell and smoothed it down a little with Emory cloth. I admit for me the older M&P 1.0 and SD9VE fells a lot better

Count me as another fan of the Talon rubber grip. Very thin, feels great, doesn’t permanently alter the pistol.

Hogue Handall is another option. This one is on my Hellcat but I've had them on Shields as well.
You'd have to have some really aggressive stippling to grip as good as rubber does. And the rubber Handall isn't going to chafe your hip.

I'm a big fan of the Brooke's tactical Agrip grip wrap. It looks and feels sort of like suede leather, but is really thin and flexible. It's smooth against your skin and grippy wet or dry...
