After much deliberation and practice on old ar grips, I finally worked up the courage to stipple my g19c. Took about 3 1/2 hours to do, half of which had my hand cramping...

Re: My stippled glock

Your picture lighting is off, hard to actually see the job...

Did you use a soldering iron? I think I need to do mine.
 
Re: My stippled glock

Sorry about that.. they're from my camera phone.

I used a 30 watt soldering iron and a couple different tips. The grip is a huge improvement.. I also took a little off the finger grooves.
 
Re: My stippled glock

On my Glock, I eliminated the rear gap in the magwell and stippled that part over. It gives a much better purchase to the grips. Nice job, but it sure sounds like very tedious work.
 
Re: My stippled glock

Looks pretty good. I've only had enough nerve to stipple the backstraps on my M&P's.
 
Re: My stippled glock

Looks great, I just don't think I could bring myself to do that unless Glock frames were more easily attainable.

So you think you will make 100 before you get a time out??
 
Re: My stippled glock

Looks good. I bet its crazy grippy but the stippling under the trigger guard makes my middle finger hurt just looking at it.
 
Re: My stippled glock

I ended up using some pretty fine sandpaper and going over it to smooth it out a little bit, especially under the trigger guard. I'm thinking about taking a crack at another glock I own.
 
Re: My stippled glock

Thanks. I definitely encourage anyone looking to do this on their own to practice on something else first (I used the old ar grips), because there was definitely a learning curve... or at least for me.
