Not sure if the photos are still available on another thread here or not but I did have the balls to stipple mine and hells yes! I started out stippling a couple of similarly polymer knives to get the technique down and walla! Trick is to only go so far, just lightly indent, the "gripping" power comes not from the "holes" put in it but from the tiny ridges created when you make the indent. And if your ridges turn out to be a lil more sharp than you like, hit it with super fine sandpaper. So far I have stippled 1 Glock (my own), and about 5 edged weapons (not all mine). Also I use a $10-20 wood burning kit from Lowe's lolI want to buy a glock for this exact reason haha. Some people have their own designs that look amazing but unfortunately I don't have the hands for that. I want to do my Sig grips but that means I have to drag out my duracoat again.
lol! When I saw the word stippling I flashed back to my high school drama classes and the stage make-up technique. :D
I thought you could buy different grips for guns. Wouldn't be easier and safer to just get a textured grip?
It has been a bit tempting to stipple a glock but I know ill hate it after a while, wish I just listened to james yeager and had left it stock.... lol
Chris Costa says to soak your hands in dish soap with a bit of water and then try to shoot your gun. That's what it would be like to have your hands covered in blood.
Maybe the next time someone puts a deer down they can pop off some rounds to try it out...
You can always fill the holes with a poly resin and then sand it back down to a too smooth to grip.. er.. grip..You mean like a stock 1911? Sorry had to go there! :trolling:
If the gods wanted stippling on a Glock, then Gaston would've done so. ;)
No I have bfg projects on my truck, my dad's friend has something like that on his though. I think they might be coopers but they have that distinct pattern.Not the slide.... please.... lol
I bought the Glock for this very reason. The next step is to fire up my mill and cut into my slide
Not the slide.... please.... lol
Plus once you hack the slide you expose untreated metal to the environment, effect the weight of the slide which will contribute to reliability issues to some degree and... you become a guy with a hacked up glock.
I hear you. To each there own. I've never had grip issues on a glock slide personally.Not the slide.... please.... lol

Well I would cerakote the slide of course, I won't let it just rust away. I'm not sure on the reliability aspect. I have seen some slides that have been milled to nothing and they still function. I just want to mill some grooves in the front for extra gripping power since I can't just stipple the slide haha
