Try some adhesive-backed black coarse sandpaper. Trim to fit with an Xacto knife.
Looking to put some grip to the front strap on my Kimber Compact. I saw Pachmayr grips that wrap around the front but they weigh 5 ozs. Has anyone else found their fingers slipping down the front of the hand grips during recoil? I'd like to find a quick fix but I like the stock grips and think checkering must be expensive.

Have someone stipple the frontstrap for you....Its not that expensive.
25 LPI checkering. pricier....Skateboard tape, cheap.
if you dont have a skate shop near you... and you want to actually feel it before you buy... it is sold at lowes/menards/homedepot as non-slip for stairs.

+1 on the skateboard tape. 5$ got me a piece that is 9 in x 33 in. That's what I trimmed and stuck onto my carry gun. I never had an issue with recoil retention...but sweaty hands, adrenaline, tachycardia...preparation for perspiration is always good.
The only issue I have had, and it might be the quality of the skateboard tape, is the tape starts to peel off after hitting the range usually 4-5 trips with cleaning....easy enough to re trim a new piece...if you can afford stippling I would do that. If you can't, skateboard tape away!
God gets blamed for a lot of things now days, they ask “why would He let this happen?, Why doesn’t He stop it? I really don’t know, but I wonder if He wants to ask us the same questions. All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing
I use skateboard tape too. I have no problem with recoil but I like the feel of the security of having and extra grip.
