Great Little Grip for CM9

[Rainman48314]

That might be a good question for Barry <qwikgripusa@yahoo.com> . . . the owner.

I'm guessing a size 2 would work because it fit my CW40 so well and they are similar in dimensions, I believe. But, Barry is more likely to know than I am.

I wrote Barry and he says a size 3, not 3a. Remember this is the 9mm, not the LCP .380

LOL That's funny. I thought I was the only cheap B that would make grips out of an inner tube. I have put a few "tube grips" on before. I made on for the cm9 and it's great!! I will admit it does slip a bit at times. Not much and not often but it can. Not really a problem but it does. I think a dab or two of rubber cement will do the trick. Very thin, very tactile and very cheap. LOL I may get a store bought one later but these really aren't so bad.

I had the inner tube grip on my PM45 from the very first range trip. I later broke down and got a store bought Hogue but they got nothing on the innertube. I kind of like the palm swell but many don't and I could get along fine without. As Tilos said they are so thin the grip texture shows thru which just improves the grip but eliminates the harsh bite. Sort of like a Pit Bull with rubber teeth so to speak. I intend to get a qwik grip one of these days. I just think they are the cleanest and nicest fitting grips I've seen for these Kahrs.

Yeah. I have a Qwik-Grip on my CM9. It fits perfectly. But I also bought two Agrips for it, and I intend to see if they might be an improvement. (Someone said that one is so thin that the grip texture shows through, but two smooths it out while not being bulky.) As I understand it, they are smooth when positioning your fingers and hand on the grip, yet provide a super grip when squeezed. I find the tackiness of the Qwik-Grip hinders my hand placement on the grip a little bit.

Edit: But I definitely want something to cover the cheese graters on the front and the back.

Does anyone know how to do stipling?

Do these folks make a size for the P380?

At the moment, mine is sporting an inner-tube. I just cannot stand the stock grip surfaces on most polymer pistols.

I've taken Armor All, the stuff for shining up your dash board and sidewalls of your tires to rubber grips before. It takes away some of the tackiness, some say I'm still tacky but my grips ain't.

Just want to make sure you don't over do it so they become slippery, like the running boards on Jocko's Hog.

Has anyone used rubber cement to help hold the inner tube grip in place? It stays pretty well but a bit better would be nice. I was wondering if the rubber cement would harm the poly.

[Bawanna]

Seems like I recall someone using hair spray. It helps slip the tube on but then makes it kind of sticky once it's in place. I'm not sure if this provides a dippity due bounce or lots of body but suspect it probably matters little.

I don't think I'd be putting rubber cement on any of my guns but it might work fine.

You may be right. A guy said to use double sided tape. The thin clear stuff from a store like Staples. I may give that a try. it diesnt need much just needs a little help.

I use hairspray for my motorcycle grips and they don't slip, just let it dry overnight. Also might try the skinny 27" x 1 1/4" tube, took a little heat(2-3 secs over a bic) to work onto my pm9 but I don't think it's going anywhere.

Yeah I think mine are 1.95's. That smaller tube may be just the ticket.

I'll wait till they accept PayPal. Hopefully soon.

I'll wait till they accept PayPal. Hopefully soon.

Depending on the size, you can often find them on eBay . . . usually offered in the sizes for Glocks.

Check out Talon Grips as well. Fits to the gun very nicely. On sale, $10.99 with free shipping.

Buy a smaller size tube and wet it with alcohol for installation.

If you want it to stop sliding around, just roll up the bottom and put on a little HAIR SPRAY and roll the tube back down on the grip...I use AquaNet.
Stop by any bike shop and ask for the tubes they threw away...they will have many.

just sayin'
