Did these awhile back, the pictures are crappy, but they turned out really well.
I did the one on the right first and liked the way it looked and it made it more grippy. Did the one on the left and it took a lot less time, and is waaaay more grippy.  </a>" />

I did some Pmags a while back too...I did inside the panels like the one on your right...but I didn't think of doing it the way you did the left one...I'm gonna do some of my others that way! I like it!

Last 1911 I did. Provides more grip without being abrasive or aggressive.

That is the 2nd 1911 with that style of "stippling" that has shown up here on this thread. I give you guys credit for courage...it's one thing to stipple a polymer grip...it's easier to fix if you make a boo boo. But, taking a hammer and punch to a pretty 1911 like that...that takes some stones! Nice Work!

M&P 9c. I only did the front/back straps for now, may do the sides later when I decide on a pattern.

Wow! You are a patient man. That looks like it took some time and care to get that so even. Well done. How does that feel? Looks like it might be a bit more aggressive than I would care for but it is all in the "hand of the holder" so to speak. I like the overall look though. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I needed the complement. thanks I have heard that with some of the more aggressive textures you can end up with little points on the edges of each "crater". Kind of like the tip of an ice cream cone from where the plastic pulls up as you pull the iron away. I hear that if you go over the whole thing with fine sand paper to take the points off it takes some of the "bite" out of the texture but doesn't take away from the grip. If that makes sense. Over time they will probably wear off from use anyway but you might like it even more if you take them off now.

Thank you ,
I was pretty careful to make sure the heat iron was moving as to not burn thru & keep the look & more importantly the feel when all is said & done consistent , I was really careful following my lines that I had sketched first on the frame & also careful around the glock insignia. It works great. I had a chance to run the guns some more yesterday & I can't get over what a difference the stipple & removing finger humps did for me. . . I Like the look of your 29 , I would definitely need some stipple on 10mm , looks good. |

Once you feel the difference it is easy to want to everything. Thanks. I went with a texture that made it easier to grip over stock, but wouldn't become uncomfortable in extended range sessions. I am quite happy as to how it came out. 
Yup, it is a bit addicting. lol. Right now I have a pile of P-mags and AFG/VFG's that are gunna get stippled.

Here's one I cerakoted and stippled, guys if you are wondering what I used to make that nice border its called a veining tool used for wood checkering, but get a good one! I asked all the top guys to give me that information and they acted like it was a secret from God. So I figured it out on my own after some experimenting.
So here's to them!

And no problem this will cut your time as well, it really doesn't take too long, first make a light scratch to give you the line path you want then come back with a deeper cut to finish the groove/border. The other checkering tools work well for the straight sections too. My first attempt was using a razor blade, I made one "V" cut then another making a "V", that was a pain the ass, but it worked and took hours. lol Then I remembered cutting linoleum in art class and I tried one of those cutters, it worked well but I often had to sharpen. The good veining tools are made from hardened steel or carbide and work extremely well. |

Very nice work everybody. I sold the two that I started this thread with at a gun show about a month back. Got a new Gen 3 G19 and G26. Now I have something else to stipple. Just have to decide what to do...oh who am I kidding...I'll probably go with the same texture. It was super comfortable and very grippy. |

Just got around to doing a little work on my 19 and 26. Didn't cover as much area as I had done on the 23 and 27 that started this thread. I only did the front finger grooves, the left side "thumb depression" and the spot just in front of the take down lever. I also hit the base of my 26 mag. Sorry the pics are with my phone...hope they are not to fuzzy.       |

Decided to go a little further today. Put some texture on the surface of the factory texture on the backstrap. Not very noticeable visually, but what a difference it makes in the grip! Now I think I'm done with these two. Need to get out to the range and try them out! G26 before:  G26 after:  G19 after:  Edit: Here is one more of the 26 not so close up. Really don't notice it until you hold it!  |
