    Default Stippled Glock

    I am now a convert to the club of stippled Glock's. This is my first one to ever have stippled and I love it!! Way more grip than grip tape for providing for me. Really impressed with the results. I wish I could say I did the stippling, but I didn't. I don't have the skill or patience for it. Colorado Shooting Sports did it for me.

    Also a first for me on the xs sights. Really digging them so far. Only shot about 100 rounds with them though, so time will tell.







    Started as one of the police trades from Jensen's.

    Stippling is pretty cool once you actually commit to it.

    The big thing holding me back is I'm afraid that the stippling would be pretty abrasive against my skin when I carry concealed. I imagine sitting in my truck and having the grip pressed into my back/side just driving me insane.

    If it wasn't my carry piece I would be inclined to give it a shot. I need to pick up a police trade in one of these days and maybe I'll try it out.

    It is for sure more noticeable. I always try to wear a tucked in wife beater between my holster and my skin. Never an issue that way.

    Nah, I wear wife beaters under all my clothes anyway.

    I was thinking the same thing, but went for it. This one is not super aggressive. It is better grip than skateboarding tape, but probably less sharp friction in regards to rubbing skin.

    I sent two more in to be stippled but asked for more aggressive stippling. I also wear a tucked in wipe beater when I carry, and I never have had any issues.

    you can sand the stippling to what degree you like, for comfort and grip.
    You should post a pic or two of the stippled LCP.
