Yeah! Stippling crew.

I also found this video which I am going to order. Should help a lot:

Actually simpler than I thought....

You can stipple polymer rail cover too for your long arms...

Just as an FYI too, Redwolf now is selling "Airsoft Surgeon" pre-stippled grip for Hi-Capa...I am more interested actually in the trigger guarde undercut, but its an interesting product for the masses...

ILLusion · December 30th, 2009, 09:45

I do the trigger guard undercut with a Dremel tool, and it's quite effective. It really helps in getting your hand higher up and closer to the bore for recoil management.

After handling a couple of grips done with grip tape, dot stippling and "tree bark" stippling....I much prefer either grip tape or the dot style stippling.

I like how grip tape seems to "wear down" to a certain point and then stays constant. A shame that the piece that RM gave me got torn up a bit on my field gun at a game (I'm still using my field gun as my comp gun).

After handling JR's GBBR with the rail covers/vert grip done up with the dot stippling...it's just an awesome feel. IF you're wearing gloves. If you're not, I wouldn't want to be shooting real steel with sharp mini "craters" like that. If they were knocked down a bit to remove the sharpness a bit it'd be great.

I'm not confident on my skills doing it, but I've got an extra Hicapa grip and I'll give it a whirl for the next race gun build.

Here's a much better video that doesn't make you buy it on ebay

I actually ran the rail cover over with some sandpaper to just to "debur" the real sharp stuff, so its just a surface texture after. It can probably be clean up more, right now it feels like 150-200 grit sand paper. The Glock one actually isn't that bad, mainly because the way I dip the tip into the grip that rolls the material away, but not form a real sharp tip at the site. It is rough, but I don't think it cuts. There are some spot that may benefit from a bit of sandpaper work though...

I agree though, grip tape looks cleaner, and its replaceable....

Shock, thanks for the video and forum link, all the info I can get my hands on is helpful.

What drew me to the video I posted is the pattern he creates using a large head on the iron which saves time and creates a more even and professional pattern.

I'm also interested in more than just stippling.

I would like to try the following mods to a Glock:

• grip reduction
• stippled grip 360
• finger grooves removed
• mag well cut outs
• rounded trigger guard 3/4 stipple
• stippled thumb rests
• contoured front and rear of slide
• forward cocking serrations

The last two mods intimidate me the most.

RacingManiac · December 30th, 2009, 14:18

Are you doing that to plastic slide? For metal ones you probably need to machine it no?

ILLusion · December 30th, 2009, 15:32

Milan, if you want slide work done to a metal slide, I can get that done at the shop. Something to consider if you want a custom slide machined to high precision.

MilanWG · December 30th, 2009, 17:31

Definitely something I will be interested in.
Also, what Dremel attachment are you using for the trigger guard undercut?

I finally got my hands on a soldering iron.

I sanded down the ribs on some KAC rail panel covers and tried my first attempt at stippling:

I use the 40W setting. Seems to work best.

Danke · February 15th, 2010, 15:56

I just started on some rail covers, this is a gloves only pattern though.

I too would like to do a Glock up like the Bowie Tactial one (is their site down for everyone?) I just got the laser grip on my G19 and it's a bit greasy feeling.

Baows · February 15th, 2010, 16:39

I definitely like the stippling effect on the grips, but I couldn't bring myself to do it to one of my own..
