[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2385845, member: 2989"] Lowes sells a roll of 3M Safety Walk tape in rolls. Best kept secret if you like grip tape on your firearms. The gray tape is thicker and rated for both indoor and outdoor for shoes and bare feet. The black tape is the same as skateboard tape essentially, but more durable and rated for outdoors with shoes and not as thick as the gray tape. It's about as thin as paper and once it's on the firearm, it feels like it was part of the polymer. I use the black tape. The best thing about it is that the tape seems to have a plastic or polymer coating on it, so unlike skateboard tape, you don't have to worry about the grit "wearing off" like sandpaper. The best part is I have lots of this stuff and can experiment to my hearts content on how I want to add grip tape to my guns. I carry IWB and typically don't wear a shirt underneath, so as much as I would like to slather grip tape on the support hand side, I can't unless I like having a bleeding and raw right abdomen. With the tape, I can put tiny strips of tape in strategic placements on the support side grip that gives me just enough grip with my support hand, yet allows me to carry IWB and not worry about the gun chewing through my skin. I even put strips of this tape on the slide. On my Glocks, I put a thin strip on the very end of both sides of the slide right where the serrations end. On my HK USP, I actually have thin strips of grip tape in between the spaces of the serrations. I also have a strip of tape on top of the slide just in front of the rear sight to help with 1 hand manipulation type drills on all my pistols.
