    Skateboard tape will work. I had the Hogue "rubberband" slip on on mine and it worked well. I dont recall what size it was and I had to trim the band for the grip safety but it did ok. If you go that route use a little Windex on the band-it will help it slide on a ton easier.

    I've used this on my Glocks for years. Cheap, precut, and the grit isn't as aggressive as skateboard tape.

    I use skaters tape on the front strap only for XDs and 1911s. The local hardware store carries it in different widths. I've tried it on the back strap of the XDs but it doesn't work as well. Never been a fan of tape on the side panels.
