Stipple or not to stipple
Hey everyone, I have a set of CrimsonTrace grips on my first edition M&P 9 and I
m wondering if any of you have stippled these grips. Kind of worried about affecting the electronics inside. Any advice oh owners of great guns?

Stippling weakens the property and make-up of polymers .Makes them brittle.

I skate tape the outward side. Sand over a bit to reduce bite. You can take off if you hate it. A roll costs $5.

Pretty sure Talon makes pre cut grip tape specifically for your model. Probably costs like $12 bucks

Personally I wouldn't stipple it I put a set of Talons on my shield and they are just fine. Pre cut easy to apply and cost 17 bucks.

Don’t ruin the value of your gun unless you want to keep it forever... cause nobody else will want it.

I find that a piece of bicycle inner tube works great for additional gripping feel without having to make any permanent changes. Might want to give it a try.

Skater tape. Couple bucks at the hardware store. Cut it to suit you. Works great.

Stipple a polymer receiver? 
I would not stipple a polymer receiver. To improve gripping, either a slip on rubber grip or apply skateboard tape.

I'd go with the not-to-stipple. Too many other options out there that don't hurt/ruin the value of the firearm.
