Folks:
Many try to put tape on or stipple the P guns, but here is a quick fix even if you don't have much skill with a wood burner.
Use a small tip to produce a slight touch to each of the little nubs on the backstrap. Amazing how grippy the backstrap becomes, which is the WORST part of the P 07/09 grip. No tape needed.
It allows your hand to get a real bite where it needs it and the front strap is not too bad to begin with. This way you only risk the backstrap and if you mess up its a cheap fix.

That is the one major problem I have with the P07/P09 handguns. The backstrap has good texture right down the middle, but that bare area on each side causes my hand to slip around. Wish they would texture it more like the P10 back strap!
-
True on the P10.
The P07/09 stippling on the back strap is lame. Its WAY too slick and yes if it were wider and like the P10 it would be good.
My point it that this is EASY, takes 5 minutes max, and doesn't change the look at all.

Here's my po9 I did about a year-and-a-half ago. Round small tip on my soldering iron, first time I ever did this.
It was a little too aggressive oh, so I took down the sharp edges with 600 grit paper.

Again, for those who don't want to "go too far" because you cannot go back, you CAN stipple the backstrap and even in a way that stays to the pattern, and give you much better purchase on your pistol.

I had to do mine because I have very clammy hands all the time oh, the grip I have now with that po9 stippled is fantastic. You can send it down to the group that you want aggressive or softer.

I would really like to see some pictures of your backstraps so I can really understand what you did!

the backstrap is in the picture I did the same on both sides.

For the first few years, with my P07 .40 S&W, I just chuckled when people said the grip surface was either too rough or too smooth. For me it was "just right."
Then, one day at the range when it was in the 90's with humidity about as high, that .40 P07 was slipping all over the place in my hand. Every 2 or 3 shots I would find myself getting a better grip on it. Sweaty and slippery as it had never been before.
While I didn't stipple mine I did buy some of those talon grip panels and install on it. I've not had an issue with it since.
Just saying, everything is "good" till it's not. Conditions aren't always perfect, sooner or later you may find what has always worked, just doesn't when conditions change enough.

WRONG PIC. Imgur is a mess. But... this is what I had already done on the P07. Not bad, and again, you don't have to do much area.
-
That looks pretty nice Brian.

Sorry for the ridiculously large pic, but Imgur is harder than yuku.
It is pretty amazing how sticky the existing stippling is when you just tweak it with the wood burning tip - this may end up being what i go with. Again, OTB, it is too lame to help the gun stick in the hand.

I totally agree. I recently had the front and back straps on my P-07 and P-09 textured and that?s all that is needed. Both pistols really lock into my hand now and I don?t get any movement while firing. CZ shooter Mike Pannone turned me into that and I?m so glad that I didn?t have the whole grip stippled. Saved me $ and I don?t have to have a super rough grip side panel grating against my fat gut now while carrying appendix Hahahaha

Stippling on my new CZ P 10 C is a bit harsh for me. I didn't want to molest the Gun so, I found a simple answer for myself. A Wilson Golf Glove. No more sore Trigger Finger and no more irritated hand.

The golf glove is good if you only use the pistol for the range.

Trigger & stippling only starts the bother my hand around 100 rounds. If, I got into a situation where I needed more than a 100 rounds for a gun fight well, it would be time to run away pronto.

Some nice and interesting stippling being shown here :)
I did the back strap on my P-09 using a tip I found on Ebay. I think the tip did a good job compensating for my lack of skill. Here's the tip I used:

Looks really really nice Greg👍👍

I agree! Link to the tip? Did you smooth the nubs first?
-
smart man. In the same boat here, I had all my CZ polymer done with a soldering bit and I am super happy with all. I might upload pics when I can one of these days.
-
Stippling it's so easy to do. If you make the grip too aggressive, just hit it with some sandpaper. Not aggressive enough? Hit it with a soldering iron again.
My quick tip when stippling is don't do directly under the beaver tail, or the bottom of the trigger guard.

Thanks :)

If you search for "Waffle Stipple Tip" on Ebay you will turn up quite a few that will fit different style irons. The one I used is from ladygirl98.
It's been a while since I did this, but I'm pretty sure I just stippled over the nubs. I did practice on one of the back straps I was never going to use (it actually turned out quite nice) before doing the one I wanted to use. The stippling goes pretty quickly and I found that the transfered heat plus my handling changed the fit of the strap. It was a little loose on the gun when I reinstalled, so I took it off and warmed it up a bit (from the backside with a heat gun), then adjusted it it for a tight fit. I've had no issues with it.
Regards,
Greg

I really like how that backstrap came out! Good work man!
-
Just got the waffle tip.
If you follow the existing stippling pattern carefully you can get a supergrippy blackstrap that locks the pistol into your hand without over doing it. It really changes the feel of the p09. Makes it much more secure. Also, if you keep the back strap on the pistol it won?t warp out of shape.
Thanks again for the ?tip?.
