This is a really great idea. It works better than stippling and 10 times better than skateboard tape. I know about 20 people who have had Brett enhance their Glocks and Sigs using this technique. They all swear by it. I had him do my SA 1911 grip panels + front strap and the results are better than 30 lpi checkering. You can see pics of my gun on the Springfield page. Since this technique does not modify the gun in any way and it can be removed, it is legal in SSP. -Capel www.gadpa.com

It isn't clear to me from reading the rulebook. It isn't skateboard tape, and it isn't removable grip panels either. In fact I'm not quite sure what it is. I don't have a horse in this race since I shoot CDP, just wondering out loud. Ken Reed

Since it can be removed, you have not modified the gun. It is thinner than skateboard tape, but has more traction. Think of it as spray-on skateboard tape. Don't let the micro-photographs throw you off. -Capel www.gadpa.com

Could you really articulate that this is a non-permanent modification in the same way that skateboard tape and inner-tube hose is?

A $60 week long round trip is a whole lot different than a peeling off grip tape or a sleeve. Sounds about as near to permanent as possible, without actually being totally permanent. This is sounding closer to a stippling job all the time. Steve Koski

This process does not seem in the same league of putting on a different grip panel or back strap. Don't get me wrong, I might be interested in this treatment for my CDP Glock, especially if they could match it up with my camo finish. But I wouldn't speculate that it would be allowed into SSP.

There is nothing in the rule book to say it's not legal, but it is pretty revolutionary. It won't turn you into a National champ, but it does give you a better grip. IMO this enhancement won't start an equipment race anymore than fibre optic front sights and they are legal in SSP. I would recommend this for any carry gun, especially if you are concerned about retention. Ken, I know Brett can do this in just about any color, maybe even camo pattern. Send him a pic and see what he says. -Capel www.gadpa.com

I can't find any reference on the website about pricing, but 2 X round trip firearm overnight freight alone will run you in the $120 range. Koski
