Stippling

[maxmayhem]

What is with this? This is just ugly if you ask me...but to each his own...those of you who do it or want it....what is the deal

Grip .....

I have never really been a fan of the dimpled melt process for strippling, although one does catch my eye every now and again.

The process I have developed for my M&P's and even my Mossy 500 is what I like to call the True Grit grip enhancement. I think that it gives a much more refined or factory look to the texturing process.

Here are some examples...

It makes the grip more tacky... in a good way. My hand sticks to the gun more and it doesn't jump around in my hand causing me to have to re grip between shots.

I just do it on the panels that are there from the factory.

I am going to stipple one of my M&Ps soon. I held one the phylodog(spelling) did, and I felt like the gun had a great grip.

I for the most part agree...99% of the stippling jobs look like crap. I have seen some good ones, that are not over done or looks like someone with a hot fireplace poker did it.

Otherwise, I have no problems with the grip on any polymer handgun I have owned.

I mean look at this crap-

You have to Ray Charles to look at that not think it looks like crap.

That's not bad at all. That I could live with if I felt I needed it.

ok i get it on the m and p because the backstraps can be swapped out but on a glock it is permanent ...gen 3 or earlier..but hey it is your gun

 

[D2VW14_20]

Youd be surprised the amount of difference it makes though. Id rather have "performance" over "glam" on a carry gun.

Wow that looks good! Looks comparable to the factory stippling on sig sauer's pro series polymer handguns. You do it yourself right? Any thoughts on stippling for other members or doing a how to? ...perhaps you already have. I'm on a cell phone so I don't know yet. Id sure love that kind of stippling on my polymer guns.

Thanks for the compliment.

Before I do any True Grit upgrades for anyone else, I want to compete a long-term durability test. I need for the texture to be 100% intact after several months of daily carry and various extreme environmental tests. I am sure that it will do just fine over time, but I would not want my name attached to something that does not hold up to years of use.

I can only say that the materials I used are PERMANENT.

Without that, how could you do THIS??

..To each his own right? More grip and I actually think it makes glocks look good!

Everyone who has shot mine has enjoyed it.

 

[Fordtough25]

I stick with Talon grips or something simliar if I need more grip, I don't mess with the gun itself personally. Nothing wrong with anybody else doing what they are comfortable with though!

Looks like honeycomb........YUCK!

Those look really good......

That a great idea. I have never thought of bedazzaling my guns before.

 

[malern28us]

I can see the purpose behind it. If it helps you shoot better, who cares how it looks. I just didnt know so many of you had sweaty palms!
