Stippled wood grips

[Zundfolge]

I've got a Dan Wesson 14-2 that currently wear a wonderful set of grips made by LB Custom Grips (in fact mine are the prototype for his "Speed Grip" he sent them to me since the design arose from a discussion we had on the Dan Wesson forum).

The grips are beautiful, made from Black Cherry wood (which looks nothing like it sounds) and I love the feel of them and the angle of them.

BUT I don't like to carry the gun with them on there because, well they're slicker than snot on a glass doorknob. Dry they slide around in the hand and if you sweat even the slightest bit the gun all but jumps out of your hand.

I've considered sending them off to be checkered or engraved but frankly that would cost too much (at one point I'd even contacted argonstrom after seeing his SIG grips, but the wife threatened me with a long run on the couch if I spent what he was asking ... which frankly was a better than reasonable price ... but alas).

So I finally broke down and grabbed my all-purpose firearm bubbification device (aka Dremmel) and went to town.

Getting a smooth line at the edge of the stippling was difficult, but the stippling itself was pretty easy. They feel great in the hand and my grip now feels very solid and I don't think the stippling took away from the beauty of the grips ... at least not too much.
