Who uses grips or Tru grips??

[syncro]

Hey guys, i currently have an m&p9 and i would to change the grip feel of the gun. I've bought a big roll of skate board tape but then i discovered a product called tru grip. It is essentially grip tape cut out into very exact shapes and sizes to fit specific models of pistols. So i thought why not try to use my existing tape to replicate this product before i go ahead and spend more money.

My question to you guys is: What is the best way to get exact measurements/ shapes and sizes of the gun so i can accurately cut out the skate board grip tape??

Or do any of you know a site where i can find some kind of template to print off and reference??

I;m being a bit of a cheap skate but i really just want another small DI Project to do on my m&p.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Musky hunter, how did you get perfect dimensions for your glock? was it trial and error or did you use a template?
