Awesome Job , I like that a lot . How Long did it take you to do it ?

Couple days on and off. I keep wanting to try a good boarder but that worries me that it’ll be weak. Kinda like one of those plastic sheets that you just push the parts out of.

I thought about having it done but simply couldn’t accept the wait time.

Stippling, professional or DIY, creates an almost mystical and unbreakable bond between the pistol and the owner... especially when the owner tries to sell the pistol.

Haha glocks are so cheap it’s about worthless to worry about resale. That being said my second try at it I ended up selling for more than I paid for the gun. Not because I was selling it but because a guy at the range offered me cash for it

Looks pretty good to me, great first try.

Not bad at all Tomcat! I am trying to find a place that will laser stipple. Examples below.

Right here is who done your examples. Might as well get it done by them, right?

I just buy talon grips and its all done. Most of my 10 handguns have them and for the minimal cost they are great!!

Yours is the first stippling ever that looks good !Congrats.Now for those who think that all guns should be stippled know this,if you ever decide to sell a gun that was stippled there is a small audience of buyers that are interested in these mods.I have passed on deals that were horrendouslys stippled,again congrats great job !

Looks good! I just got my test grip module in the mail, already made a rough sketch on it of where I’ll stipple.

As someone who has never tried stippling, your project looks pretty good to me. Some one mentioned that the texture can grab clothing. Has this been an issue for you with this project?

Very good job, Tomcat10. I would've never guessed that was your first.

Happy Holidays.

Looks fantastic! Wish my first try was that good or even close to it...

if its for concealled carry your clothing will prob latch on like velcro now.. had a s&w 2.0 that was nice while shooting but while in carry mode tore skin on body and shirts stuck to it like glue. one of the reasons i parted with it. the sig 320 in its factory config is about best of both worlds as you can get imho

Agreed, I put a talon grip with the sandpaper texture on my g36 when I first got. It was great for shooting the gun, But just like you said horrible for c.c. like wearing a wood rasp against your body. And cover garments hung up on it constantly. They lasted about a week.

Thank you , If you look at the top area above the Sig Sauer letters it looks a little funky , because I started the stipple with the fine point . I didn't like the feel , and look so I started over with a different tip .

Silly question. Why potentially harm a firearm, when you can get some stick on talon grips. They come off, you can clean off the remaining residue in the event you may actually want to sell it someday.

I have to mod the stock Glock grip to work for me anyway . Undercut trigger guard , remove finger groove humps . I have large paws , and the stock grip doesn't work for me .

Thank you , I haven't had that problem . Maybe my cover shirt material is different .

Thank you , Your too kind I just try and not get in too much of a rush .

 

[Quicksteel]

That's the key don't get in a rush!

 

[epd2658]

Tomcat10, your stippling looks great.....what tip and technique did you use?

 

[Core781]

This is my first try . I think I need a bit more practice , but I do like the aggressive texture , and feel .

Not bad. I use a smaller tip, it's more sticky but I like it. I like the shape of yours, so far my favorite is the Valkyrie Combat DragonScale, but I like my own style. I've stippled a Walther, numerous AR grips, angled foregrips, and about 35 pmags so I feel experienced now. I use a Weller Station, with standard tips nothing fancy. I find the technique yields a consistent look. I'm planning on doing a older XD Tac but I'm debating the pattern and whether I should remove and re-shape the grip. I have never re-shaped a grip, just stippled.
