I decided to "stipple" my grips and think they turned out fairly nice.

Anyone ever tried making soft rubberized grip sleeves out of bicycle innertubes or similar materials? I saw someone on another forum (can't remember which) who had done so on a compact .380 auto. I'm thinking about trying it. Perhaps cut a piece of the tube to fit, rubber glue it, and stretch it on? Input?

Bicycle inner-tube works great and you shouldn't need glue, just stretch it on.

I cut up one of the "Handall" sleeves to cover the base of the magazine.
