Many years ago I had friend who was a nat'l ranked smallbore coach, and he was having trouble getting and keeping a good grip on a pistol.
He wrapped the grip and back of the pistol tightly in a plastic bag, covered his kitchen table with newspapers, and put a lot of Bondo on a paper plate and worked it with a putty knife until it was a thick dough consistency. Then he slathered it on the pistol grip and grabbed it tightly with a plastic gloved hand, and used his off hand to position the gun just so.
He scraped the excess Bondo off such that he would be able to release his fingers. Since he had "worked" the Bondo until it was almost set, he held the gun until it was fully set, not a long time.
Final work was done with a file and sandpaper. Gun was butt ugly because he left the Bondo its natural color; but, he got the grip he wanted.
Never felt the need to do something like this. Has anyone else done something similar to this?
