Just curious...how easy is it to take the rubber or sandpaper grips off of the pistol if I decide they aren't for me? I didn't see "those" instructions on the card. Thanks so much!

A dab of mineral spirits cleans most tape adhesive right off. On a polymer surface, I'd suggest then washing the area off with denatured alcohol, followed by soap and water. I do not know whether the polymer would be damaged by the mineral spirits residue or not, but I would not want to find out, either.

Thanks for the great info. It's always such a relief to know that there are firearms experts on this board willing to share their knowledge with all who ask. Have a great night and thanks again!

ANOTHER QUESTION: I have a DefCon and MaxCon from Gary on order. Does anybody know if I would have a problem holstering my pistol if I put the grip tape on the underside of the trigger guard?

Thanks!

I have the rubber TractionGrips on my XD-45ACP, and to be honest they do rub my back a bit when I use my IWB holster. Still, the additional grip is worth the slight irritation...

Cheers! M2
