The tip I use is a modified soldering tip. It has to be checkered by hand and requires very specific, expensive hand tools to do it. It is not easy and took me two tries to get the tip right. The technique for using the checkered tip is also very hard to master. And it is not faster to use for stippling. I have to keep it cleaned out and wiped off for best results. Compared to the other stippling I do it is more difficult in every way. But it does give a texture with an aggressive grip that will last a long time.

nice work everyone !
I would like to stipple my plastic shotgun stock where the checkering is. Do I have to sand off the checkering or can I just go over it? |

The texturing isn't quite as uniform as I'd like on one side but I'm a perfectionist. Getting the front strap flat was also worrying me, but it ended up being pretty easy. If anyone is thinking about removing the finger humps, it isn't nearly as hard as you think it is. A dremel with a 120-150 grit sanding drum and some patience will get the job done, and you can turn out a pretty good result. |

Friend bought a Glock and had me stipple the frame. He chose the pattern and wanted to retain the finger grooves. Here it is (with my 32 slide mounted) and my 23.

How would you go about stippling a grip with a lot of serrations such as the XDm 5.25, which has a lot of large serrations. Would you shave it down? Or fill it in? I would worry that shaving it down would make the grip small and if anything I would want it a little bigger.
Thanks |

p4R4d0x I like the shape of the stipler that you used on your 23, that is different! Loots of good ideas on this thread. I got a new woodburning kit in with some stuff I bought at an auction this past summer. I didn't know what I was going to use it for.I think it will get put to good use soon.
