I rarely post any of the grips to the ODT, but thought I'd list this one, since it isn't a standard Tractiongrips product. I'm making these as a side project, one at a time, to order. If interested, please let me know the model and I can advise if it's one we can make with this material. I'm including a picture of my Glock 42 wearing one of the grips, along with a picture of the grip pre-cut for a Glock 43X or 48. The lighting in the two pictures was a lot different, so the colors look a bit different. The picture with the G42 was taken under brighter lighting. The cork material is very comfortable to wear against bare skin, yet grips very well, especially when shooting with wet hands. I've been switching out the grips on most of my pistols to various cork grip tapes. They seem to perform better than rubber grips, wear much more comfortably than any sandpaper grip, and offer the best grip in wet conditions. The super-thin cork also absorbs recoil a little. There's a reason cork is preferred by many fishermen for their fishing rods.
The grip is $14 picked up locally. If shipping is preferred, I can ship for an additional $4, anywhere in the country. I'm in Jackson County, and can meet in the Jackson County area or Athens. I'd also be willing to trade grips for factory loaded, brass case 9mm ammo.

Are these grips natural cork or some type of synthetic/rubber material? Are they available for full size M&P9 2.0?
They are made of natural cork from Portugal, with an extremely thin fabric backing added to keep it from flaking. the surface is embossed with the pattern. We add a self-adhesive backing, so all you have to do is peel the backing off and stick them on. We can make them for the M&P9 M2.0, but that particular model doesn't include a piece for the back. S&W uses a polymer that contains phthalates to make it feel rubbery for those back straps, ad the chemical leaches from the polymer and will slowly dissolve the adhesive o the grips. The regular M&P9 grips include the back piece, but we found it's best not to try covering the back of the M2.0, since it ends up resulting in a sticky mess when the adhesive dissolves.
