I see guys using alot of different things to help keep their grip in hot humid sweaty conditions. What works best to keep your grip?

[G-ManBart]

On a 2011 I'd say a stippled grip, for a Glock/XD/M&P Tru Grip tape and with either add Pro Grip cream for your hands when it's really humid. R,

I hate using it but Pro Grip works 100% get the lotion not to impressed with the spray.

I use ProGrip cream. I realized that most of my grip-slip problems were the fingers of my support hand slipping on across the fingers of my strong hand, and no amount of skate tape helps that.

[J-Ho]

I would ask your avatar. She apparently knows how to handle situations like the one you describe.

[Get'em Duck]

J-Ho, I know what she uses

and I think I'll stay with the synthetic stuff.

Guessing you shoot a 1911. I don't know a thing about this outfit but I dig the grips anyhow. Check out the "Black Canvas". Add stripling or even skateboard tape to the front strap and your "grippy".

For no slip 1911 grips try simonich gunner grips. When shooting the glock I have started using rosin and it works pretty well.

[Just Thinkin]

I don't have the problem but I know many race drivers and motocross riders use anti-perspirant on their hands and even their foreheads. May be worth a try. It works for them.

[Bergie]

I use rosin.

You can get in a shaker bottle here.

It works great.

[Scoterbeast]

Prefer rosin bag - cheap - like $1.49 at bowling supply place.

I'm with G-man. Stippled grips, no need for anything else.

That's basically what Pro Grip is, just concentrated and with out the perfume.

[Holshot]

Pro Grip Cream mainly. I keep some hand wipes or baby wipes in my bag to clean my hands occasionally which seems to help also.

[FLL1911]

Sometimes it is oil that dripped into the grip. I do clean the grip at home before the match and at the match I use rosin to keep it dry and oil free. For the hands, rosin, Pro Grip or hand sanitizer (alcohol gel) they all keep the hands dry and oil free. For the grip there is another option: tennis racket overgrip, like Tourna grip, Gamma grip and similar overgrips. It works pretty well for me playing tennis or shooting here in South Florida. You can find it in any sports store, even at Wal-Mart.

If you are not familiar with tennis stuff, here is how it looks like: http://www.amazon.co...s...amp;x=0&y=0

Lets see,,,,,,,it's in my bathroom and cheap. The wife will buy it for you without question. You don't have to go to the high priced sporting goods store, and my friends haven't smelled my hands in quite awhile

[Mike Singer]

I get a great grip whne I use pro-grip

[smokshwn]

Stippling doesn't seem to work worth a damn when it is wet regardless of the level of "bite". I have settled on Pro Grip cream on the outside of my dominant hand and the inside of my offhand with TruGrip tape on the grip. Haven't been with too little grip since.

Just a heads up.
When ProGrip is not available, PrinceGrip seems to be the same stuff and is found in the tennis dept of most sporting good stores.

You beat me to it. I get that at the local Dick's Sporting Goods and seems to work well.

Yep, Prince Grip works great.

I use Dry Grip anti perspirant

No white residue left over

[Get'em Duck]

Thanks for the replies, I'm just looking for a little extra grip I run a kimber 1911 with VCD grips and a grip tape front strap. I was mostly looking for something to keep my hands dry. I bowled for years maybe I'll break out my rosin bag and give it a try.
