Ideas to improve grip on Pocket Bushman?

[wahoowad]

I'd like to do something to improve the grip on my Pocket Bushman. I am considering some type of griptape (skateboard/stair) or.... maybe stippling it using a Dremel or drill bit?

I'd try the skateboard tape . Used on a couple of my 1911 and works their

What about applying a brushed effect? What would I use to do that? I have a wire brush that goes in a drill but think it is brass/bronze and not likely to do a good job on stainless steel. I also have a bench grinder with a wire brush wheel - not sure that scratches deeply enough.

Or Do some folks just use sand paper?

Stick with the tape. If you don't like it you can take it off.

+1 for the grip tape. I mostly use it on my pistols but it works great. It also peels off clean if you don't like it.

Get some "agressive" tape, so your CSPB doesn't "slide" when your hands get sweaty etc.

I would stay away from brushes on grinders because most people don't realize that the brush can "impregnate" softer stainless w/ whatever you brushed last.

If you knock the rust off a cross-peened 3 lb. forging hammer, and then hit that softer metal w/ it, your stainless will start RUSTING...overnight.
