Yes. You can use backstrap or sanding dust as filler.

Pic no longer works, but which company? I’m semi local and saw one place up there did custom work that didn’t look too bad.

Just finished this for a buddy at work.  I was nervous as piss cause it' a Vickers edition.  Aggressive stipple texture, finger groove removal, and undercut trigger guard.  I thought it turned out well

Still have to do the finger pads

I do like it a lot but not totally blown away by it.  The slide cut I think is one of the best looking out there, not overly aggressive, looks classy but not boring.  The slide cut combined with the lighter recoil spring and stainless guiderod makes the gun shoot very smooth with a mild recoil impulse and the slide tracks faster than stock.  The stipple job is really well done, all the frame work is top notch.

However, trigger job is not that special tbh but people who have shot it have said that it definetly feels better than stock (I opted for the 4.5lb trigger).  I started getting occational light primer strikes so I swapped the TTI striker spring with the stock one which made the trigger pull weight go up so  I'm considering installing a flat faced trigger from Fowler Industries in the future for hopefully a better feeling trigger.

The waiting was the worse part as I'm not a very patient person and 24weeks which they quote now is a long ass time.  I had a thread about it: https://www.ar15.com/forums/handguns/Taran-Tactical-custom-build-lead-time-UPDATE-It-s-finally-here-/13-177445/

But the tradeoff is that TTI is a bit cheaper than other places like Agency or Fowler.

Overall I'm happy, but if I had to do it again I would prolly just buy a ready made agency so that I wouldn't have to wait.  Hopefully this helps.

Thank you for providing so much info. All area's that I had any concerns with, were addressed.  The reason for my leaning toward TTI is they're in southern California so they're local. Good honest info. Thanks again. I will check out your thread in the morning. . D

Edit:
In the end through all your troubles it is good to hear that they sent a new slide after the inn perfections on the original slide.
Good read, Thanks for providing the link to your thread.
Cheers, D

17 was my first and second attempt (before and after removal of finger grooves and undercut)
32 was my third attempt and used a different pattern. This time I sanded the factory texture completely smooth and started fresh..

Go to OTDefense.com and there’s several pics of the tip.

Tips? I’d say just experiment on a practice piece and get your technique down with that tip. I’ve done quite a few frames with this same texture, so I’ve refined my technique.

Paint the frame first.  The cut the borders and do your prep work.  That will remove the paint in the area to be stippled.

Either that, or you cut your border first and tape off the area to leave the factory color. Gotta be tight on those borders to do that though.
