Have ya tried getting a hole punch or even a grommet hole cutter etc to make friction “dots” from skateboard tape ?
I put em on my slides and such if surface area is slick and no purchase can be obtained for chamber check, grip etc ...
I degrease the surface, clean again with isopropyl alcohol or like product. They last me for decades of carry and work very well. Big sheets of different surface grit are cheap. Assorted hole punches for dots or cut to desired shape to enhance the griping surfaces.
My new Glock 35 came in today so applied such to front sides of slide for that and going to range tomorrow to wring out the new combat tupperware before I CHL/CCW such.
Plan is to modify that with a KKM aftermarket 357SIG barrel so I have the 40 Short & Wimpy caliber and 357SIG proprietary caliber sibling from SIG. My advantage arms .22 Slide conversion for my Glock 34 fits the Glock 35 really well. Goal is to finish my mods on the Glock 35 and ultimately have a travel rig w/ 9mm, 40S&W, 357SIG and .22 Long rifle.
Also have an old Grendel P30 in .22 Mag, seeking the new variant from Keltec PMR30.

The Keltec version is new . Can’t find one locally yet so will wait to compare the two.
Hope yer Mom’s days are easier.....Stay safe !
Once my barrels from Bar-Sto arrive, my Sig P229 will be configured like that. They say they're in the mail now.
I just bought six different brands of 9mm ammo, weighing from 100g to 82gr. Pricey little devils. Ball ammo is our best friend.
Once I get the ammo/recoil problem licked, I'll look at the "slippery" problem, which doesn't mean a thing if I can't find proper ammo. If any high-paid magazine reviewer says the Solo digested everything up to 147gr +P with no end-user problems, I'll contract out g'nad to provide him a workshop in proper firearm evaluations.
