Could you snap a pic of the tip that your using so that I can get an idea of what I need? Thanks! |

Here is my first attempt.
Thanks to the OP for the method, took about 1hr including making the screw and practicing on some Pmags  |

Has anyone tried this on the grip section of a polymer rifle stock yet?
Thinking about trying this out to add some grip instead of using some sort of resin. |

I did it on both my G36 clone forearm and on a Savage .17 stock. Unfortunately I don't have them anymore and I never took pics of them. But it's the same exact process. |

I enjoyed doing this.
I'm considering doing a few backstraps and trying to sell them. AEnemaBay: I used you method would you have any issue with me selling a few? Thanks |

If anyone wants to use this method for anything they can think of, do it. More power to you if you profit from it. Good luck! |

Would love to see what the modified screw head you guys use looks like. Speaking of which, you could probably sell modified screws for people to do their own custom stippling. Like $5 to $10 per tip. Just a thought.

Also did some KAC rail panels that turned out just like Devilock's. The golf ball pattern did not make a big difference on the rail panels, but the OP's method sure does. ETA: Finished the front strap stippling: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/topgunpilot20/Guns/MP9Pro_01_web.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/topgunpilot20/Guns/MP9Pro_texture_01.jpg That looks great. Which method do you think gives a more solid grip this, one or the job that fourrobert3 did in his thread using the Harbour and Freight flat tip on his M & P 9 ? 4R3's job used the flat tip and has the appearance that it would stick in your hand very well. Your job gives me the same impression. All I know is I prefer the pistol to lock and stay there. Looks like a hard choice between the two. Steve Steve |

Steve Steve I haven't tried his method, so it's hard to compare. However, the above method is very solid especially if you do the entire frame like my most recent pic. Grip inserts are cheap, so it may be best to stipple an insert using each method then compare the two directly. |

Still running the black magic skate tape on the glocks for the moment. |

This belongs to a buddy: Cavalry Arms lower that has had it's length of pull shortened by almost two full inches, grip reduction/reshape, trigger guard undercut, grip stippled and had the outside of the magazine well stippled. All that was followed by some CeraKote OD and a custom made rubber butt plate. Only the right side, front and back straps of the grip were stippled so the texture does not drag on skin, clothing or gear.
