Looks good, great job!
Have you shot it since you did the work. I know I love the Talon grips, because it was too rough before I put them on. Seems like the stipple work would make it too rough again. Post pictures after the cerakote. I really want to see that.
I don't mind a good looking stipple job...but i hate the ones that look like someone took a fire-poker to the frame followed by an angle grinder (there is one in the classifieds that's a good example, not to mention WAY overpriced )
chezuki has posted pictures of his stippled M&Ps and it is probably the best looking stipple job i've ever seen...i'll see if i can find them. Maybe he will pop in a post them for us, allow me to make the chezuki call...MTAC!!!!!!

I use the Talon rubber grip tapes on all of my Glocks. Stippling can look good if done well, but most are not. It's not really an issue though, as you don't buy a poly gun for looks. If you think it will help improve how the gun feels in your hands, then go for it. The biggest downside of stippling is that it kills resale value unless done really, really well. If you are Ok with that, the go for it and please post photos when done.
Yep, makes me wish Glocks were like some of the pistols where the frame is not the "firearm", but rather the trigger mechanism is, etc. Some Sigs, and I think the Beretta Nano may be like that. That way frames would be cheap and could be tossed if it did not turn out.
Also the cool part about M&P's, is the rubber backstraps that can be stippled but easily replaced.
