I posted this over on the Walther forums, but this board is much more active and it really pertains to any polymer handgun so here goes.
I love the way the grip feels in my hand, size is perfect, but a little too slick. I was thinking about taking it down to the place that does the rhino liner sprayed in truck bed linings and seeing what he'd charge me to put a thin coat on my grip. This shouldn't change the shape to it at all, but would add a rubbery grip that would slip less. What do you guys think??
The only drawback would be it's pretty permanent. Would this void any warranties??

Thanks

On my Steyr M9 and Springfeild XD, the grips are the same as you mention, nicely formed yet slick after perspiring or cleaning.

A really cheap, non-permanent and fantastic solutions was to place a strip of skateboard tape along the backstrap area and fringer groove if needed. Ask you local teen where to get some.

I put some on 6 months ago and have not had to change it at all.
It peels off when you want to change it and the residue can be lifted with a little goof-off.

I had used a small piece of bicycle tire inner tube as a slip on grip. It's thin, no finger grooves or swells to worry about, easy to put on & take off, inexpensive, you can custom cut the piece to your requrements and works pretty well too ;)

3M stair tread from homedepot. costs $1 for about 1 ft. cut it to size.

i put one line up the backstrap and three small pieces in between the finger grooves.

makes all the difference in the world.
