Thanks for the replies guys
I have a few questions about the talon grips, they have ones that are just skateboard tape stick ons and they also have the textured rubber stick ons. which one would give me the closest feel to the stippling?
fredj338- do you have any pics you can post?
I'll have to take one & post it, but you can google grips stippling, lots fo cool textures have been done. I prefer stippling to rubber, rubber just grabs everything & a grip can be too sticky just as it can be too slippery IMO. Coming out of the holster, get the grip off a bit with rubber, it stays off thru your shooting. Get it wrong with grip tape or stippling, an adjustment can easily be made by just relaxing the grip. To each his own, that is just me. Plus if you CCW, rubber grabs at your cover garment, you are always adjusting things. Also rubber adds to the bulk of the grip, not good on the XD unless you can palm a basketball.
With stippling or tape, you can adjust how aggressive you want things. With tape, just rub off the texture to your liking. With stippling, go small dots or larger, depends on how much grip you want. I find all plastic frames guns slippery, unless they have aggressive checkering.
