Here are a couple of before and after of Pmags...really does add a significant amount of "Grippyness" to the surface.

I made a stupid video of how I stippled an image into a polymer mag loader.
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv70H5_0dX8 |

Hey that's a cool idea. I never thought of using a stencil, I was just following the lines of the gun or mag.

The tip I used is pointed but not real sharp. I hold the iron kind of like a pencil and just lightly tap the tip up and down. I hardly lift it at all, very small movements and very light touch. I also don't have the tip exactly perpendicular to the surface being stippled. Both the object and my stippling hand resting on the table so I can control the small movements and not accidentally touch somewhere I don't want to. Once that iron is hot it only takes the slightest touch to make a mark.
 I hold it like this (only with my right hand)   Hope that helps. By the way, I really like the job you did on the M&P...like how you followed the lines of the gun. Looks good. |

I will have to check on the wattage for the iron when I get home from work. I'll let ya know.

It is a 30 watt iron. However, I bet just about any one would work just fine. If it is hot enough to melt solder, it is hot enough to melt polymer.

Man that looks really good! Did you use a pointed tip and drag it like a pen, or did you use a chisel tip? That pattern could look real good on the grip on my AR!

Yep pointed tip and started with a bunch of 45deg lines in both directions and then did horizontal lines and let the other lines move it.
Hard to explain lol... |

how do you guys get a good finished edge where you stop on the grip of the gun?

how do you guys get a good finished edge where you stop on the grip of the gun? I was just really careful and went slow around the edges. I tried to follow the natural lines of the frame wherever possible. I have heard of guys using a fine tip sharpy to draw the outline first. I think you could also use masking tape to outline areas that don't have a clear cut edge. Mainly just take your time and don't rush. Like I said earlier, make sure your stippling hand is resting on something steady so you can really control your movements, it only takes the slightest touch of the iron to make a mark so you don't want to have your hand slip at the wrong tiime!  |

Thanks, ya it is way more "Grippy"...not that it was bad before, but now feels like the gun is locked into my hand...very secure! Like you said..."like skateboard tape." Feels good in my hand, but if I wear it concealed against skin...hmmmm...need an undershirt!

did the backstrap of my M&P9c. haven't gotten my method or style perfected enough to try the whole grip or take a chance on my Shield yet, not sure I even wanna try the whole grip myself yet, this shit it hard, tedious, and time consuming.

Well...you don't exactly "press" a gentle touch of the iron results in a small puff of smoke and a stipple get a soldering iron and practice on some plastic. maybe those black plastic trays 100 primers come in or something |

I'm trying to find the solder attachment that would allow me to do a custom stippling job like this

Grind that end to a 45 degree angle...like if you cut a pipe at a 45... and it should work great. Good luck Darren

Nice work everybody. I haven't had the stones to try it. Get a couple old A2 grips and practice away. It really isnt to bad just takes time to complete. Just use tape or a pencil and ruler to mark off your edge lines and set the iron down easy for a short amount of time until, you get the desired hole. In mine above there is very little pressure or time when applying the iron. |

I've been putting off doing this for a while because I knew it was going to take a while. First I undercut the rear of the trigger guard to get a higher grip on the weapon. Then I relieved the magwell to ease in clearing type 3 malfunctions. Finally I stippled the grip and side of frame. Oh and I also installed a set of 10-8 performance sights with fiber optic front post.

Oh I see...I thought you still had both and could just interchange them depending on the occasion. (Perhaps that is not legal? I don't know) I am sorry to hear the lighter color one is no longer with us...I thought it looked damn good! R.I.P. But the one you have now looks really sharp as well! Good Job! |

Yea, I wanted to keep it for both and if I pressed the issue they may have sold it to me but the person i spoke with said I have to send my old one in. I bought a viridian light and wanted to use it so I gave in lol.
