Cheap way to improve the grip on the BG 380.

Realize that the BG 380 has a hard .75 inch grip for a reason...small means better concealment.

However, the thin backstrap in particular makes it a wiggly handgun to fire rapidly...as a person might have to do in a CCW situation.

Tried aftermarket grip sleeves and none of them would stay put, so cut three grip length pieces of old bike innertube and cut out mag release area to not interfere and installed.

Dramatically increased "gripability" while only adding a very small increase in grip width. Cost: zero.

Still working on other issues with this tiny titan but this one seems solved.:)

The Pachmayer grip sleeve stays perfectly still with the help of a drop of super glue on the bottom of the front strap on my bg380.

I put the Pac grip sleeve on mine as well. It was tough getting it on but it does stay put w/o any problem. It was a bit too long so I used an Exacto Knife and trimmed the bottom. The fit is great.
 
you know I wondered if the Pac grip (that was way too big!) that I purchased from Cheaper Than Dirt was packaged incorrectly...as in a full sized grip put into the 380 package. Actually called them and they said "there is never an issue like that." Reading the responses on here makes me think that I was right. Oh well. However the innertube grips look great, fit great and give a great feel...at no cost.

Thanks for the responses.
