I did my sheild and not only did it turn out great but I had fun. It only took a soldering iron and a few practice panels on a Pmag.

Turned out great and took less than 30 minutes to do a solid job on the pistol.

I did mine as well...was very satisfied with it, until yesturday. 5 hours of uspsa stages in the 110° oklahoma sun and my middle finger was rubbed raw. It seems I made the stippling to aggressive, especially under the trigger guard,so I took a file to de-stipple it a bit.

You did a good job on yours Blacktide.
