Welcome from Ohio.
From what I can tell, it looks good but better pics would help.

Welcome from Texas. Looks pretty interesting, but hard to get full effect. Update with more pics if possible.

Welcome to the forum. Don't let the responses to your stipple job turn you away from the forum. Lots of good advice here. If the stippling works for you, that's all you can ask for.
That being said, that stippling is ugly as sin.

Welcome to the forum. We can, at times, be pretty harsh critics. Overall, it's a friendly and knowledgeable bunch.
If it's improved your grip and still functions, mission accomplished.

Picture turned good on my PC started out really small but then opened full screen. Looks like it will work well but makes the gun butt ugly but then for SD I doubt the bad guy is wanting to admire it.

Don't worry.Leonardo da Vinci probably made a lot of gravel in his early days.

I'm not into stippling, but your rendition is very different from other stippling jobs I've seen.
The only drawback to stippling, as mentioned, is limiting who might be interested in buying it, should you tire of it and go to sell/trade it.
Now a pistol like a Kel-Tec (or P320?), where the grip is not part of the frame is different. When you go to sell it, simply buy a new (Kel-Tec) grip for $35 and you're back to original. 
Oh... Why did you need to snap the picture in your car? 
Does your Wife/GF/Mother/Significant Other not know you have the pistol?
Is it not allowed into the house/apt?

I would call that striated rather than stippled.

I like it, looks like you put some thought into it. Have you had the chance to shoot in some heat, get sweaty hands? Interested in how it works.
