How-to video on making a paracord grip for a M&P

[Bug Splat]

Being a new member and receiving some great help on an old revolver, I thought I'd throw something on the offering plate and contribute to the forum.

I made this video a couple months ago after playing around with paracord. I'm happy to report I've put about 500 rounds through the pistol post-wrap and it has not move at all. Its been rock solid and I love the feel of it.

Well that's different.

I don't think that is something I would do, but to each his own....

I always wanted to try tennis racket grip tape.

Different indeed . I don't like rubber grip wraps or grip tape. Love the texture of paracord. I have an AR and a couple knifes wrapped in it and I have used them for year with great results, figured why not try to wrap a pistol. I'm very pleased with the results.

A very attractive alternative to grip tape.

Different for sure, good job Bug.

Different yes, I'd have to try it. On a purely aesthetic note I would rather it look weaved somehow than just wrapped.

Maybe incorporate the same style wrap as seen on a samurai sword... hmmmm......

While I never thought of doing this to a pistol, it is the same way to make a fishing pole grommet which I have done. Good idea
