Thoughts on Stippling

[jhawk19]

I am working to customize my M&P 9mm. I've stippled frames in the past (using a simple $10 WalMart soldering iron) and sometimes they are a bit too aggressive and wear on my hands during training sessions.

I just finished this frame and I like it soo much! It's not too aggressive, but the grip has definitely improved.

What are your thoughts on stippling?

Here is one I did that felt too aggressive to me.

Looks really good. I wouldn't have the stones or the patience to even try that on one of my guns.

Time for an undercut!

That looks really awesome..I go with A2's. Would love to get into it myself.

I stippled one, turned out pretty nice. Next one I put Talon rubberized tape on,, liked it better..
Plus rubberized grip is much nicer on clothes and body if you're planning on carrying..

I had David Bowie do my M&P 45

And I plan to have him do my other two as well over the winter



His approach gives a much improved grip but is not overly abrasive.

I did it to my shield. Love the way it feels. I did it to my taurus too but the frame material is different because it didn't take to well. No biggie though. Just covered it with grip tape.
