Favorite M&P Shield grip enhancements.

[Damn_Yankee]

What are some of your favorite Shield 1.0 grip enhancements? They are pretty slippery when stock. Talon and Traction grips are the obvious choices but I was wondering if there is anything else I should try.

I have a some Brooks Tactical Agrips on one of my Glocks and it works very well. It is a felt type material that is very thin and hardly adds any bulk to your grip. Where it really shines is when your hands get a little wet or sweaty and the gun just sticks to your hand; its pretty amazing.

I put rubber Talons on my Shield and they were a big improvement. I now have a 2.0 and like the rough grip texture to the point that I'm switching my other guns to granulate Talons.

Stippled mine and undercut the trigger guard. Feels 100x better

This may be the route I take. I’ve gotten pretty good at stippling.

That shield was the first gun I ever did. I'm confident I could do much better now that I've got a few more under my belt now.

Nice work! How did you get the recess on the borders?

Bicycle tire inner tube. Always been my go to for a little bit more grip.

I haven't had any problems with mine, so it's stock. Maybe I have sticky hands...

I put Talon rubber grips on my shield after their black Friday sale.
Planning to carry a 2.0 compact but not before adding the Talon grip to it as well. Don't want to have a raw spot on my side or t-shirts with holes in them from a super rough grip.

Used a Dremel with an inverted cone bit to cut the lines, then a ball cutter to dig out the inside of the border a bit.

I used a sanding drum to remove the factory texture. Just FYI the m&p polymer is very hard and hard to work with. I much prefer Glock polymer.

I picked up a Hogue beaver tail grip sleeve and what a difference. It fills the palm nicely, which is what I like. Highly recommended.

I've been thinking the next upgrade I'll make to my Shield 2.0 will be...

convert it into a Sig P365.

The P365 looks like it could be a great pistol but I'll let others be the beta testers. That price is going to have to come down considerably, as well.
