    Here is what i have done. I bought some grip tape at a skate shop, traced out my patent, and cut it out. It's pretty sweet. I really like it. Now that I have my own patent if anyone needs them, let me know.

    Yeah, Google has been saying that about xdtalk the past few weeks or so. It makes it a pain to use. I wonder what happened...
    Oh well, I spend more time here than there these days.

    Probably more permanent than you're looking for, but I took a dremmel sanding drum to mine and got rid of the waffle bumps then followed it up with a few hours of quality time with a woodburning tool. End result is permanent built in grip tape. I'll try and remember to snap a pic of it, but it looks good and feels 100% better.

    Try out some talon grips. I have them on a glock 22. If you dont like them you're only out 10 bucks.

    Just weighing in on some other options - I've used ace bandage in the past on my glock, as well as innertube. Ultimately, I spent $5 at Harbor Freight for a woodburning kit, and stippled. If you can work up the nerve, I recommend stippling.

    I have the same issues with my "Winter Carry" XD's.
    Those rascally pistols are a tad slippery.
    Went out and picked up a Pachmayer Tactical Grip Glove for my XD-45 and it made quite an improvement.
    I will get another for my 40.
    Around $15 at Specialty Sports.
    I think it was worth it.

    I used a die cut grip tape from Cheaper Than Dirt for @ $8 on my G-lock 27 and Im happy with the grip. Only used the right hand side so it don't rub my love handles! IM WORKING ON THEM! HAHAHAHA
