    Now... last range session was over 150 rounds, and no problems, no slipping. Having problems uploading photos, but will post photo when tech. glitch is fixed.

        I have the Brooks Tactical A-Grip on my P9, and although I was skeptical before making the jump I love them now. Although they don't provide any kind of finger groove, they feel like a suede material that improves my grip considerably.

            Another idea is spray some hair spray on the plastic and inside the slip on grip before you put it on. When it dries it will be tacky and should keep the grip from slipping.

            That's the way I put hand grips on atv and dirt bike handlebars and it holds up well.

                What he said! Your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, probably has a can in the bathroom. You don't need much. It also aids in sliding the grip in place before it dries.

                  +1 I have the Limbsaver on my CW45 and it makes a world of difference. It doesn't have finger grooves and it doesn't move around at all.

                    he is right about the hair spray. thats what I use to put grips on a motorcyle to make em stick. When it's wet they slide right on and after a few minutes it sticks like glue. If you dont want to use that try a couple of rubber bands on the grip first then try to slide the grip over them.

                      I just ordered myself the A-Grip wrap for my CW9 for the same reason you describe. I have it on my full size FNP9 and absolutely love it. It keeps the grip checkering from tearing up your hand, eliminates any slippage from sweaty hands, etc., and makes the pistol feel great. I just ordered it online for $25 or so and expect it here this week.

                        I have shot 100rds with no issues with the backstrap or any aggravation to my hand at all.I must hold my gun different. I like it just the way it is. Now shooting my 357magnum ruger sp 101 revolver with 158gr. FMJ, after 20 rnds I have to set it down till my hand stops tingling:4:

                            I never feel the backstrap until I shoot around 200.. then it really starts to get grating.

                              Wait till you try my hot 180 gr bear loads in that SP101. They'll get your attention, as they're rated at 1400fps and I have no idea what length bbl was used to get that.

                              The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.

                                I have a Hogue, Jr. on my CW9. I put it on upside down, that way the finger ridge fits my hand better. I am confident that I have better control than without the sleeve. It is probably the most comfortable CC I've ever had, and amazingly accurate.
