I had bicycle innertube wraps on my saddle horn, but never on a pistol.
I've seen it a few times in passing, I think in the Bruce Willis movie hostage I think he had a whole mess of rubber bands around the grip of his G26 but since then I've seen it a few more times here and there and was just wondering if it was an old cops trick or semi common or well known practice.....
In the absence of rubber slip on's like the Hogue I could see people back in the day doing it to modify the grip and get a higher more positive grip. I might try it out even though it's ugly as sin....
Bicycle tube does wonders. The diameter of the "hole" is base on how "diagonal" you cut the tube. Square across, you get a small ring; the more "slanted" the cut, the bigger the space. To wrap around an M-1 (Steel) Helmet, you need about a 60-70° cut on the tube, so that there's about 8" between the two.ok, i’m sold. what size inner tube does everyone use the the most universal applications?
So just stop by a bike shop and ask for a couple of tubes (with holes/leaks) from the trash.ok, i’m sold. what size inner tube does everyone use the the most universal applications?
This. It's what I thought the thread was about.I seem to recall this being done to 1911 type pistols to by pass the grip safety back in the 70s.

Cloth electricians tape works also.Never seen rubber bands, but it looks like it would work. I've used sections of innertube on several rifles and handguns in the past. It provides a better grip while adding no significant girth to the grip.
