Thank you!
me too!
Make that 2 new subs brother.
@@hartshot8455 make it 3, and man what an appropriate topic to discuss for me.
Thank you for the ending. I felt so much relief and ease in my body. 🙏🏽
I stumbled upon your channel. I am very impressed so far! I like when guntubers do different stuff instead of just copying what everyone else is doing. Keep up the good work!
I really hope you see this comment. For the last several months I have been messing around with the different grips like Talons, skateboard tape, and hockey tape. With all the shooting and concealed carrying I do, I did not find a grip that both lasted quite a while and didn't eat up my skin and clothes. I turned to TH-cam to see what others were doing and found this video. I decided to give Element 26 a try, even though I was skeptical. I got it in the mail a few days ago and applied it to a Glock 19. From the initial feel of it, I really did not think it would beat the more aggressive grip textures because there was nothing notably special about it. Man was I wrong. I shot a few hundred rounds with it on a hot 93 degree Arkansas day and I did not feel my grip slipping as much as I have experienced with other grips. I decided to test it further. I went home and got four Glocks that all had different grips on them (Talon Pro, Talon Granulated, Hockey Tape, Element 26) and went to the kitchen sink. I got my hands equally full of slippery dish soap and applied my shooting grip to all of the guns, squeezing my hands tight and applying as much torque as I could. To my amazement, Element 26 did not make the gun slip or rotate at all, whereas I felt my hands slipping over the grip in the three other ones. I can't thank you enough and you're going to save me so much money as I'm pretty much sold on this grip. I will keep putting it to the test but so far I'm incredibly impressed. You have a new subscriber! Two questions: Do you apply any heat to the tape after putting it on, and do you stretch it tight as you apply it? It has stayed on well with the few hundred rounds so far but just wondering what you do. Thanks
I just stretch it tight while applying, and right after I put it on i grip the gun like I normally would for 20-30s to keep it in place. It frays at the edges every once in a while, I find myself replacing entirely ablut every 6 months. It’s so cheap compared to everything else it’s not a big deal
@@citizenresponse thank you! god bless
Came here to watch the review on the grip tape, and I ended up being encouraged by your opinion on contentment. God bless America and You sir🙏🏼
🙌🏻👊🏻
I carry a P365X and went with the Wilson Combat grip module and it's the absolute best grip texture I've ever had on a pistol. I have zero need for any additional texture. I completely agree that the Glock texture is mediocre at best and needs all the help it can get. I'm definitely going to be looking into this grip tape for my Glocks! Your comment at the end of the video is fantastic and should really hit home with a lot of people, so many people these days are consumed with immediate and instant gratification and don't want to or can't put in the work it takes to follow through on anything. They want it all and they want it now, you must have the dedication and drive to build a solid foundation of faith, family and friendships to have a well-rounded life. Be present in your life and your relationships.

I just moved to Texas and am now going to get more into firearms. Just ran into your videos. I moved to Austin.
Glad to have ya!
Saw this video a week ago, and ordered those right away. Got 'em a couple days ago and love them. I have the M&P 2.0 with the heavily stippled grip. However, I've always put black athletic tape over the grip or else my shirts would be shredded (IWB carry). Athletic tape was "okay", but this stuff is great. It's thin enough so that you slightly feel the stipple (thus grip), but thick enough to protect clothes (or your skin if you don't wear an undershirt). Plus, the grip has a textured grip of its own. It also tears real easily--no scissors needed. Thanks!
Yessir!
Amen brother. I just bought a canik and spent way more than I anticipated when I could have been content with my FN 509 which is a phenomenal gun. We keep learning the hard way but I'm tapped out for a while. More important things to do including training instead of buying another gun that I don't need at the moment. Blessings to you. That helps me to stay focused on what matters at the moment so thank you for sharing.
I recently found my faith and the ending was very nice !
Amazing bro
Had to come and say the word Contentment was 💯percent on 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Tried this out and works great! Thanks for the tip!!
Glad you posted this, somehow I forgot that I had subscribed
And I see numerous other videos that I should be checking out
Bro when you started talking about contentment #powerful that message hit different #Thankyou
🙌🏻👊🏻
Thanks for the info and liked your short talk after. Contentment 👌🏽
The biggest benefit of this for me would be increasing the thickness of the grip. I think that’s a big part of the reason I feel not quite as confident with it compared to a Glock 19 size gun
100% man. Give it a shot
@@citizenresponse I just got my 43x stippled though and it looks sick so it makes the decision tougher cause I’d have to cover it up😂
@@BrassBangin ahahaha brutal
I got big paws so my jam has been Talon Grips with a layer of goon tape over. Feels nice and tight and doesn't feel so slim.
Love this! I noticed my Wilson grip on my 365xl was rough in my skin so I sanded it down, but this should add that tack tile ness back to it.. can’t always liquid chalk up in real life lol
Hey brother hi you doing first time watcher really enjoyed the video cuz I was thinking about getting the same tape for my ruger American 45 compact went with the talon grip instead but besides all that, that last part was really inspiring because I actually be questioning that same thought about being in a place where God wants you at the moment you just gave me a good Outlook on how to accept that situation keep on keeping bro and good luck with the channel
Thanks for the info. I purchased some of this tape a few weeks ago after I DM you.
Goodlooks bud!! Been looking for a good grip!! Appreciate your videos.
Thanks for the addition of your testimony and insight on your faith in God. I would love to hear more of your options on the Shield Plus . Like the different options for red dot optics . Thanks
Do you have any tip on getting it to stick better. It sticks to the gun well but the end won’t stay stuck to itself and starts to come undone. Have you had this issue? Or has anyone else? Maybe it’s just bad rolls that didn’t get enough adhesive. Idk. Opinions greatly appreciated thanks
Yeah eventually the back end will fray a bit, i jsut tear the “bad” part and re attach. I replace the tape every few months.
I have this issue. Still trying to get it to stick after I wrap the grip.
He says 6 months to one guy then a few months to you. Just buy the talon granulated grips. $12 lasted me 7.5 months now no issues EDC
Good word, brother. Thankful for your biblical message, and your practical solution for keeping things simple and effective. God bless you!
Thank you for your help and video. I have used Talons grips on my M&P for the front and sides I stipple the back palm swell for increased grip. With my Glock the grip is slippery and thin as said with hands especially my palms I had to get some BJJ finger tape.
I going to try the tape mentioned cause the finger has short adhesive life.
Thanks
Hey man. Great video. Thanks for sharing your faith at the end, it was very timely what you shared.
Guys! Thanks for the help.
Just subbed. You being a vocal Christian was also a pleasant surprise. Keep it up and God bless brother!
🙌🏻👊🏻
I was laughing along with your video because I went through the same thing. Stippled grip lasted about a year of heavy use. Tried Talon PRO grips and they are dying fast. Goon tape is too slick. I know this vid is 7 months old, have you found anything better in the mean time? Or is Element still your go-to?
Element is still on all my pistols
@@citizenresponse Nice, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the vid, man!
how does element feel compared to hockey tape? i do like talon granulate tape. it felt really grippy, reminded me a bit of less aggressive skateboard deck tape.
You should make an updated video on your rifle and if you have made any changes!
I will soon
very helpful. thank you.
Hey, old video that I came back to as I've been considering adding this to my Icarus metal frame. Do you find that this makes your shirt stick to your grip more when concealing? I could see this printing a bit more. Cheers brother
Does the Element 26 leave much of a residue on the gun? I’ve been contemplating trying the Element 26 or Howie’s Pro Grip tape, which is used to wrap hockey sticks. I like the flexibility to add it and remove it easily. I also had a similar problem with the Talon Grips in that they started to slide on my gun during matches in July and August in the south. If you really want a secure grip while you’re shooting matches checkout ProGrip - Pro Grip Enhancer Lotion. It’ll leave a residue on the gun, but it cleans off easy enough, but if you rub a little bit on your palms and the back of your dominant hand, your grip will not move on the gun. I’ve used it for years.
If it does you can easily get it off with some rubbing alcohol
Like Alistair Begg has said many times...." Grow where God plants you "
Thanks man.
I tried it and everything you said was true BUT the stuff doesn't stick to itself very well, I can put it on and come back a couple hours later and the ends will keep coming unraveled . I had to heat it up with a heat gun then I went and got it wet a little bit and let it dry, now its staying on there not coming unraveled at the ends . I don't know if I'm going to buy it again we'll see.
I don't shoot as much as you so the $20 grips might be better for me . But you're right the $20 is expensive.
Idk I run this grip tape on all of my guns, change it every few months if I feel like it
@@citizenresponse
It was good but just came loose for me . I'm trying the same style of tape but it's made by
*_Renfrew Pro_* and it's been working out better for me , it's a little more expensive but still way cheaper then the pre cut grips .
If you get the chance to try it I think you might like
@@Drawde907 cool I’ll check it out
Goontape will leave a sticky black residue on your hands as soon as they start sweating smh
Goontape is trash
@@citizenresponse I bought some of that element 26 and it’s wayy better than
Amen 🙏🏼
I'm at work and can't watch this video. Which stick on stippling the best?
Element 26 tape
Contentment is it a struggle for me
Hey brother how is it against the skin on your waist when carrying it? My USP Compact used to eat my sides up but over the 5yrs they’ve soften up but I need to slap some tape on my S&W M&P shield
It’s the best. Not rough at all
@@citizenresponse Thanks! I'll definitely order some right now.
You use harrys? Fix your lid? Generic stuff? How you getting your hair so mf slick boiiii
since you have the non mos g43x do you run a edc light
I would carry a handheld even if I had a wml.
Would this work with a gen 3?
Works with any gun
@@citizenresponse thanks man really appreciate your channel
GUYS
Goon tape ain't that bad either
It’s very slick imo
@@citizenresponse does element 26 leave a residue when removing? Only thing leaning me towards goon tape is it’s non logo unlike element 26 and I’ve heard it leaves no residue at all when removing. But it’s pretty expensive compared to others
@@user-pz5ju7mw3k I haven’t noticed any, but I also use alcohol wipes to clean the surface so it sticks better when I replace it
👌🧂
I have talons on my g43x and it's like sandpaper, ripping my skin and clothes while holstered.
This will be better
