Agreed the high prices are ridiculous for something that normally would sell for a few dollars, but it's all about supply and demand. I feel fortunate that I was able to secure a med from one private party, and just did a swap with another person for a small, so I am pretty much set for around $20 total for both. Otherwise, Ebay is the place to find them for now - or they pop up on armslist occasionally as well.

Before I paid $45 or even $60 each like the ones in the classifieds I would just get the standard $2 stippled, honestly.

That ******* above ripped me off!


Just kidding of course.......enjoy the backstrap 78.

I have med and large available and need some Ameriglo I-Dots for my Glock 34........hint, hint.

I paid 10$ for a wood burning iron with a fine point, and stippled all my backstraps....

Just an FYI.

And this was the first I did which was my compact small one, which I never use.

Lol hey a deals a deal . It's amazing how S&W has inadvertently created a sideline market for these - Prasko's got the right idea, for those that don't have one, just stipple away - practice on the one you don't use, then go to town on the correct size. Honestly, I think a well done stippling job on the stock backstrap is probably better than the core one - it's not like it's that much more aggressive. Just has that factory look I guess.

That golfball stippling Rastoff has looks pretty awesome, imo

Yea, that golfball stuff is amazing, but damn it takes skill.

With practice I feel I could replicate it. Hell, I could replicate the "C.O.R.E" backstraps right now. They are pretty much the same as mine but less aggressive. They are a step up above the stock ones sure, but they don't add that much more grip.

Those that shoot "stock" competitions would be the main market for the core backstraps as stippling is against the rules if I'm not mistaken.
