Shield .45 grip stippling too rough

[lgjhn]

+1 on the Talon Grips (rubber style)
I've got em on 4 of my guns, including a Glock 30 Gen4 that the stippling is so rough, it would draw blood from between my thumb and forefinger after about 3 magazine loads. The Talons made it much more pleasant to shoot...almost like a different gun. Just put em on my shield 9mm a couple of days ago and rattled off over 200 rounds with nary a bit of issue...love em.

Bunch of wimps!....Just kidding around, don't dog me out.
I love the texture on mine!

Niiiiice color

Thank you! It's a mixture of burnt bronze and armor black cerakote. For me the burnt bronze was too 'pimped out' so the black helped subdue it a bit.

I put some Talon Grips on mine, they work great.

I really like the grip on the 45, but the body side grip was rough on the skin, and the outside grip kept snagging on my cover shirt.
I ended up buying a 4X8 sheet of rubberized grip tape material on eBay for about $4.50 and covering just the sides.
Still have the factory grip surface on the front and rear backstrap, but not as rough on the sides.

OK, I'll be a contrarian here. I actually like the factory stippling. I have over 2200 rounds through my Shield .45, (including some 200 and 250 round range sessions) and it doesn't bother me at all.

Dude....yer a beast

Dude....yer a beast

You're close. Mrs. swsig occasionally calls me a "son of a beast". At least I think that's what she says. My hearing aids are not always tuned to her frequency.

I just shot my new .45 Shield for the first time the other day and really liked the grip texture. For me the REAL test is shooting it when my hands get sweaty, which hasn't happen with this pistol yet.

I was so impressed with it, I'm thinking about getting the 9mm Shield, which I would get the Talon grips for, or maybe the Hogue sleeve.

Talon grips, rubberized version.. fit and work great and adds almost ZERO size.
