Yes, electrical tape seemed to be quite popular as grip material with our clients, also.Here are a couple of budget blasters from years back, my FFL ended up with these the other day:
An Intratec 9mm, I believe it is a Cat 9 (?). A straight blowback 9mm pistol, the slide took quite a bit of effort to pull back completely.
The grip is almost Kahr-like, but the edges of the grip frame were squared off enough to make this an uncomfortable shooter. This, a heavy trigger pull and an almost useless narrow groove down the top of the slide for “sights” makes it about a three to five yard proposition.

The second gun he dredged up was one I saw at more crime scenes and stuffed under more front seats than just about any other gun in the 1990’s, a Lorcin .380.
This one wasn’t in too bad a shape, I’ve seen much worse.The Zinc (Zamak?) slides were usually chipped and often cracked, the grips were commonly held on by electrical tape (if they were even there) and the recovered guns had often choked on at least one or two mismatched-brand fmj rounds in the magazine before the gun was dropped on the sidewalk as the crook fled the scene.

In "The Godfather" movie, wasn't Michael given a snubby with the grip wrapped with black electrical tape so he would not leave fingerprints on the grip?

Maybe friction tape, electrical tape is pretty smooth and would probably take a nice print.
Probably wouldn't matter today with DNA testing.

Yeah, probably was friction tape.

Apparently such distinctions require more effort than the average hoodlum is willing to expend--"tape is tape."

1952 Daisy BB gun, a present on my 8th birthday. Still shoots hard when you dribble a little oil down the barrel to lube the piston. The holster was made by R. T. Frazier of Pueblo, Colorado over 100 years ago for my grandfather.

Young US Marine with captured "Iranian" HK G3 rifle in Iraq.
7.62x51 NATO.
It was probably liberated from the huge militia of Ayatollah "Atari (games)".
