Are you referring to grip tape? If so, you can buy it as skateboard tape, or super-cheap as stair tread tape from any hardware store.

Yes Iam. Thanks for your help.
The stuff i seem had lots of little raise pieces on it,the man had it cut into about 3/8 inches wide strips, 6-8 of them place where he like them. He said this really stop the gun from moving around! Will be at the stores tomorrow.

There is a company that pre-cuts sticky grips for many different pistols, MidwayUSA carries it. Some of the skateboard tape can be pretty aggressive, hard on the hands. The right stuff makes for a secure grip tho.

I think "aggressive" is a bit mild....LOL! Had some tape on a duty gun many years ago and it played hell with my uniform shirts. Almost wore out the inside of my right shirt sleeve below the elbow and the right side of my shirt along the belt line. Once I discovered what was going on I took the tape off the side panels and just left it on the front strap. Tape was great for competition, but don't recommend it for everyday wear.

I've gone to the hardware store and bought some strips that are used on the leading edge of stairs, usually in a commercial building or in marine application. Yes, they are rough, but they work quite well on my Ruger MKII 22 for bullseye.

........Use the skateboard tape on my P95. Simple fix for the rough grit, black finger nail polish. You can get it at wally world for a buck or two per bottle. One coat will usually tone the grit down to the point it will not cut into clothing. .... :lol: ......Buster Cat..........
