SCCY CPX-2-TT
My SCCY CPX-2-TT fits my hand very well, but the grip texture could be more aggressive for wet hands. So I applied GT-5000 rubber grip tape to both side panels and backstrap. I only used one piece of tape, with enough leftover for the front finger grooves if desired. The results of the $1.67 cost are a much more positive feeling grip, a more rugged protective cladding, and it even looks better!For the side panels, I made a pattern using 2" HVAC foil tape (it was the only 2" tape I had). I traced the outline with a blunt tip, pealed it from the gun and stuck it to paper, then cut it out with scissors, continuing to trim for better fit. Then I traced that outline onto the GT-5000 backing, and again cut it out with scissors, continuing to trim for better fit. I used the same pattern for both sides, flipped over to conform for L/R sides. I didn't need a pattern to cut a strip with rounded corners to fit the backstrap.With the three pieces cut to fit, I cleaned each grip section with 91% isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free rag. Then pealed the backing off the GT-5000 and stuck it in place. I massaged the tape into place, then heated it with a hair dryer and continued to press it down all over. I was in no hurry (~100 minutes), but could do it quicker next time. Excellent results!UPDATE: After firing over 300 rounds, the grip tape is still in-place, with no sign of slipping or pealing, and has not degraded in any way. Still very much recommended.

Great Feel and Price
This product is perfect to enhance your grip on everyday items. I use it for my computer mice, and it works perfectly. It sticks very well too. I have a mouse from 3.5 years ago that still has the original grip tape intact. I highly recommend this product!

Impressive start
I'll need time using these to be sure, but they look good after some work done one recent evening. I used some painter's tape to get outline done on objects then cut the outline off of the back of the tape prior to peeling off and applying. I was a bit concerned about it being ugly around some curves initially. After applying some heat and pressing and prodding the tape formed up nicely. I'm initially impresses with the feel and look on all of the areas applied. Time will test how good this stands up compared to other products. For simple appearance sake The Talon grips are definitely a better option though far more expensive. This product can also be used on grip extensions that Talon fails to think of. I added this to a few grip extensions for an XDS and they match the look and feel of the Talon. You can also use these to the base plate of magazines for some added purchase, but cut out the section where you will be disassembling these eventually or you'll have to eventually destroy your good work.

Buy this, it works.
This stuff is the best. I recently bought a Walther PPQ and found it had several area that were smooth and felt slippery. Found this tape on Amazon and tried it versus the Talon grips due to the fact that some said Talons were a little like sandpaper. Spent about an hour tracing templates from the grip and cutting out the pieces, applied them, and was amazed! Imagine a S&W M&P grip texture but that practically sticks to your hand. Very comfortable, grip right where I want it, easy to apply, and so far it had stayed right where I put it. Highly recommend.Update: Went out to an IDPA match today cause I am horrible at anything but slow fire and needed to get a baseline for how horrible. The tape kept the gun in the same place in my hand every shot. No issues, no wear on the tape, nothing peeling off, works great. Still highly recommend. Now I just need to remember front sight, front sight, front sight...

This stuff is awesome. I didn't want to buy a case for ...
MORE THAN AWESOME **Updated my review after 4 years of use**As stated below, I put this on my phone and after 4 years it is still stuck on the phone like the first day I put it on. That's incredible to withstand the daily abuse a phone gets and constant handling. I'm moving to a new phone so cannot give a report long than 4 years use, but I wrapped the back and sides and even that 90 degree bend withstood the test of time. Amazing. You can see in the photos the texture is worn down a little after 4 years but it still had plenty of grip for my fingers. The line down the back was a seam from when I first put it on and joined two peices.This stuff is awesome. I didn't want to buy a case for my new Pixel 2 XL. So I thought I'd test this. I made a paper template of the phone and then cut the pieces. I was a little concerned this wouldn't stick well to the phone (or would start peeling off). After a few weeks of being in my pocket, desk etc. I see no signs of it coming off even on the thin sides of the phone.One key installation tip. wipe the phone and your fingers down with rubbing alcohol first to get rid of all oils. This will make sure it sticks better.

Ahhh... makes good even better.
I had anticipated only putting this on a pocket pistol and a compact. However, I really loved how it feels. I ended up putting this on all of my polymer pistols. One of my full sized polymer pistols had a very, very aggressive grip already on it. I actually placed this over the top to tame down the pokiness of the factory grips... and feel that I have a better grip than ever. It is fantastic on my Glocks. I can't imagine shooting them without the grip tape. Look, the price is very low. If you don't like it, you're not out much. There probably isn't much chance of not loving it! Just make sure you follow the directions. I wiped my pistols down with isopropyl before application and used a heat gun to ensure a good adhesion. I haven't had this come off any of my pistols yet. LOVE IT!
