Stippling

Hey guys, recently I took some sandpaper to my Shield Plus because the texture was scraping me up pretty good during concealed carry. I lIke the feel of the grip now (maybe a 1/10 or 2/10 aggressiveness, and can actually shoot it well but want to reintroduce a bit more texturing. I have considered Hogue, or Talon (Pro Texture), but wanted to see if anyone know a good company for Stippling that was not too aggressive. Thanks for the feedback!

I second this one. I always wear and under shirt tucked in and a loose larger button up. Makes any texture a non issue and helps with concealment more at the same time.
Its hit or miss with me. When cold enough I do, and when hot enough (believe it or not) due to the "stickiness" of Florida humidity. But sometimes it does "bunch" and disturb my draw. That gets annoying.

Get some masking tape and a Dremel or soldering iron and set yourself free.
Undershirts protect both the gun and you, and keep you cooler, too.

Maybe for you. But where I am in Texas, two layers don't work for me.
Is it more hot and humid there than on the coast in SW Florida?
(Asking because I don’t know.)

I played in McAllen Texas back in the ‘70s in a show band, and was there a couple of times in the ‘90s at conferences (San Antonio, and Houston) and it didn’t seem too bad.

But then; I grew up down here in the pre-A/C days, and back in those days everyone (men & boys) wore undershirts, because it does keep you cooler…

I think this may differ from person to person. Doing that just makes me hotter.

We have less humidity than you, but more heat.

I grew up in South Louisiana, so I know what humid is like.

IMO it’s really splitting hairs. I have lived in NW Florida all my life and when it’s 112° and humid it often feels very similar to Southern Florida (I have family down there). Sometimes the coast can make it better (ocean breeze) and sometimes it makes it worse. Believe it or not the toughest days are when it’s like 95° with 98° humidity. The direct heat isn’t as bad but it’s difficult to take deep breaths. And getting your mail requires you to take a shower.

I have, on a couple IWB holsters, added a piece of leather to the back side (that contacts my skin above the belt). This was for the hammer fired CZs carried cocked and locked. Between the hammer and the extended beavertail a standard holster would result in a pretty good/bad jab when sitting in the car/truck.

I bought some additional "screws" of the type they use to clamp the back ends of the kydex holster together, or to attach the kydex to the leather on holsters made that way, or used a combination of the screws already on the holster with maybe one or two more (all depends on the way the holster is made) to attach the leather to the holster. So far it's worked great for me.

This is my CZ75 Compact holster.



You can see the hammer spur and beavertail pretty good here.



Not an issue with a striker fired pistol. Nice smooth/rounded back end on those.

edited to correct the spelling of compact and to get the right pistol picture.
