Stippled Glock

[banks74]

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.

all my polymer guns, i have stippled. i wear them up against my skin. doesnt bother me. i also stippled the LCP my wife carries, i put a full length leather body guard on the holster when i made it.
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.

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.

Never an issue that way.

That is until temps get over 90°

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

Well another option post stippling (mostly because you'll have some pretty sharp raised area's) is to use a fine grit sand paper and hit the high spots or just the grip area in general. You won't really lose anything in the way of grip unless you get too zealous with the sand paper, which if needed you can just touch up with the soldering iron again anyway
