The Hexmag HXGT Grip Tape is a popular accessory designed to enhance the tactile feel of Hexmag magazines and tactical grips. While it's specifically die-cut to fit the signature "Hexture" pattern on Hexmag products, its versatility has made it a go-to for adding a non-slip surface to everything from cameras to electronics.
Key Specifications
- Quantity: 46 pre-cut hexagons per sheet.
- Compatibility: Optimized for Hexmag Series 2 magazines and Hexmag tactical grips, but can be trimmed to fit any flat or curved surface.
- Colors: Available in Black (HXGT-BLK), Gray (HXGT-GRY), and Clear (HXGT-CLR).
- Texture: Rubberized (not sandpaper-like), providing a solid grip that isn't overly abrasive on skin or clothing.
- Durability: Waterproof, heat-resistant (up to 130°F), and abrasion-resistant.
Application & Performance
To get the best results, users generally follow a specific "heat-set" process:
- Clean: Wipe the surface with rubbing alcohol to remove oils.
- Apply: Peel and stick the hexagons into the recessed Hexture pattern.
- Heat: Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm the tape to roughly the temperature of a hot cup of coffee. This softens the adhesive for a permanent bond.
Pros and Cons
| Feature | Benefit / Feedback |
| Customization | One sheet can fully cover both sides of one magazine or partially cover two. |
| Ergonomics | Significantly improves handling when using gloves or in wet/sweaty conditions. |
| Visuals | Excellent for color-coding magazines (e.g., using Clear tape on FDE mags or Black on Gray). |
| Nitpick | Some users note that the "Gray" tape is a lighter "Urban Gray" rather than a dark "Stealth Gray," so it may not be a perfect color match for all accessories. |
