I swore I would never modify a Glock frame, but was looking through the EE and came across this Glock for sale that has a modified frame, the nicest looking frame mod I have ever seen. I am calling them Monday, want my 17 to look like this.
Hammer Gun Works, owner Wayne Hammer. Any feedback on this company?  Attached FileThanks, 77 |

Works at/for MLS firearms in Tulare, Ca. Every picture of his work looks great. For reference, getting a 19 chopped to a 26 and full frame work package. |

A wood burning kit can accomplish that. I have done several grips with factory type results. Getting the correct tip and timing for the material along with a perfect border is the trick.

That is nice looking. Seems there are more and more talented stipplers out there.

Kent at Polymer Refined used to work some magic on frames.
Anyone heard if he has a new buisness partner in the works yet? |

I've done some stippling on mags and extra backstraps. I realize where I fall short of people who do it professionally. I can checker a 1911 front strap, it just takes a file, I'm no Ted Yost. |

Don't think so. I have the puzzle matrix pattern on my G17 and that thing still boggles my mind. Still no clue how he gets that pattern. Took said G17 to a Haley strategic course, and everyone who saw it was amazed at the work. I was one fo the last frames kent worked on - if he opens up you can damn well guarantee I'll have an order for him. |

Laser etched or not, that is fantastic looking. I have a bunch of Zev's but now I want one just like that. I love the battle worn NP3 finish and the amazing texture of the grip combo.

That's what I was thinking when I saw what they released. The stippling on the sides doesn't really do that much to enhance the grip. Surprised they left it alone. Can't say I'm super impressed off initial glimpses. Any idea how much the WC work will cost? |

Been trying to find out who will be a suitable replacement. Landers Weapons Systems has a pretty interesting looking 'carry' texture. |

I have to say I can be extraordinary with my hand skills, woodworking is my other hobby. But I have learned over my 59 years there are certain things you pay a professional to do, i.e.: cutting down trees that are within the fall radius of your house, pouring and leveling concrete, changing garage door springs....stippling a Glock frame will fall into this category. Other than these hand full of task, I will tackle anything. 77 I understand experience helps but they're doable on your own. |

To the OP: As a fellow stippler, Wayne at MLS does outstanding work. He hand cuts those borders, and his work is very consistent. You'd be well served with one of his jobs.
Getting things as clean and consistent as he does is not something most first time DIYers can manage. I know my first gun looks nothing like some of my recent work. Any pro will tell you it takes experience and experimentation to get things right. Alex Pappadia of SG Armory also does nice work. Matthew Doster at The Sharp Shooter, too, if basketweave is your thing. If you're on FB, join the Weapon Stippling page. Many good pros on there with various styles and textures. |

I am thinking about getting a wood burner or small soldering gun and work on some Magpul mags... May hold off on sending pistol, the Gen 5 had distracted me. Just finished cutting the yard, getting ready to leave the house and go searching for a Gen5. 77 |

Take a look at OT Defense's website. They offer some nice tips and kits. A bit more money than a Home Depot soldering iron, but much more useful.
