Also did the bicycle tire inner tube wrap on the grips on both. My only FTE came from me limp wristing during a four point draw exercise where we were shooting from the 2 position.
Those bicycle tire inner tubes don't get slippery when your hands are sweaty?
No, and my hands do get sweaty. They do take some work getting on. If you don't like them your cost is only a couple of bucks and the sore fingers from putting them on. :mrgreen:
That's interesting. I wonder why they don't. I wouldn't want to put them on any of mine because they would probably make the grip too big, but that's interesting.

Better sights are a good improvement. I'm picking up a set of Trijicon HD night sites this weekend, hopefully. They ordered them on Monday and said they'd be here by the end of the week, but I haven't heard from them yet.
Got my sights installed yesterday and they're great. I wish the tritium dots were bigger like Meprolights, but that front sight, with the orange around the tritium is very easy to pick up quickly. The guy that installed them warned me about shooting them for at least 24 hours. I told him I would do my best, but couldn't promise anything. It was nice being able to see my gun on the nightstand in the dark again last night.

I'm not sure what you mean by better grips. Do you mean learning how to grip it better with your hands because there's not really much else you can do with a Glock's grip.
