My Review of the Pachmayr Tactical Grip Glove for Full-Sized Glocks

I was thinking of trying out some of those Rubber Decal Grip Stickers on my Glock 22, but then I noticed that Rubber Slip-On Grips more or less accomplish the same thing. Because of this, I decided to try one out instead. 

'Slip-On Grip Choices'
When it comes to these rubber slip-on grips, there are basically only two major brands for it: Hogue, and Pachmayr. I chose the Pachmayr over the Hogue mainly because of the type of rubber used. These two manufacturers use different types of rubber raw materials and/or blends, and their grips end up with slightly different properties.

Hogue has this sort of "wet" type of rubber that tends to stick into your hands better, but feels a bit messy or "juicy" to me. I got to handle one a lot before on my father's 1911, and I didn't like it very much. Pachmayr, on the other hand, uses a "drier" type of rubber that doesn't stick to your hand as much, which for me is better.

(Video) My Glock 22 in its Machine Pistol Mode Part One

They said a picture is worth a thousand words, so a video would be even more so. That's why I decided to take a video of my Glock 22 in what I call its "Machine Pistol Mode" so people can capture a bit more detail that just the words and pictures I have posted here thus far. I intend to make a couple more over the next couple of weeks or months, depending on how much more detail I feel I can share more with videos.

Forgive the mediocre camera focus, I used only a Samsung PL120 Digital Camera. It works very well with still pictures, but apparently not very much with indoor close up videos. I hope I can rectify this on my next videos. So now here is the video itself:
