I installed a set of Dominic Notaro’s rubberized red grips on my 22/45 a couple of years ago. I loved them. The grips changed the whole feel of the gun, making it more hand-filling, with better ergonomics.
When the grips got dirty, I made the mistake of using a cleaner that contained alcohol. The alcohol attacked the surface of the grips and made them sticky. When you’re shooting steel, sticky isn’t necessarily bad and I put up with it for a while, then I ordered two more sets. They’re only about $18 each.
While I was waiting for them to arrive (I think Dominic waits for orders before making his grips) I ordered some red skateboard tape. Soaking the grips in 91% alcohol for a couple of hours pretty much dissolved the rubberized coating on the old grips and the skateboard tape went on without a hitch.
The tape does a good job. It’s not the same as rubber, but I like it. It’s cheap, too and easy to apply.
