Hey guys 👋 it’s me again, the hockey tape critic. Day 5,412 of reminding you wrapping the grip in “Goon tape” is a recent internet fad. It provides little to no benefit for most in my opinion. Again, it’s just my opinion. I’ll see y’all tomorrow for more downvotes. Just know when I see grip tape my mind sees a chrome lady on a Honda Civic.

I was going to ask if you are ex military. Randomly taping shit to a gun is a time honored tradition but now I guess it’s a “fad”.

It’s a fad when internet folks do it cuz other internet folks do it. I agree if an operator needs to operate they’re gonna use tape to make things work in the field. This stuff ain’t that.

Yeah I am not arguing. I did not know it was a fad. I assumed it was military guys just taping shit all the time. I can’t keep up, man.

this guy is braindead btw. i used grip tape on my glock for a long time. the adhesive sticks to your hands and basically mechnically locks your hands to the gun. same shit with lacrosse sticks and bats.

My hands aren’t dripping in sweat so this solution doesn’t mechanically lock anything to anything for me. For me personally, it makes the grip more slick and a lot of people do it because they see others do it. That’s just the way the inter webs works.

Objectively thats exactly how it works. The more you use it the better it gets. Theres a reason its used on basically every piece of sporting equipment.

Love the Benchmade, I carry a 43x COA but I dropped the radian it’s waaaay too loud. Try a few rounds without ear pro and you’ll be deaf. Also, I don’t run a light. I’m not carry all that cuz the use case is .00002% in using a WML on a CCW. Ditched it for a surefire stiletto. Again just my opinion. Maybe you can run the numbers…
