Palm Swells

[selfgawd]

I picked up some Goon Tape to re-wrap my grip, looked at my Glock 17, and thought it would be nice to have some palm swells.
I looked around and remembered I had some leftover bar tape, so I cut it into two teardrop shapes—one larger than the other. I stacked the smaller piece on top of the larger one to create a gradual taper, stuck it onto the grip, and wrapped it with the Goon Tape.
I have to say, it turned out better than I expected. The bar tape is soft enough to conform to your palm, filling that gap really well without feeling bulky or any hot spots. It also gives me a consistent reference point and helps me get the same grip every time I draw.

Nothing crazy just figured someone might want to try it.

In the future, save a ton of money and buy hockey tape. Goon tape is just repackaged hockey tape with a huge markup

Yeah they claimed it was different. Got it in, looked at it and said to myself It’s the same shyt.
However when wet it does tend to be a bit more tacky than the hockey tape I have.

Anyone know of a rubber tape instead of the cloth ones?
