Built a 80% glock a few months ago and it needs a grip reduction, mag release scallop, trigger guard relief scallop and reshape.

Curious as to what you stippling pattern is your favorite and why.

Can be looks, grip, whatever.

IF you don't like glock (or other Polymer pistol stippling that's ok as I don't care.)

I am partial to the gator  skin or waffle patterns.

I think stipling looks like shit, but then again it's not for looks.

I'm not a fan of stippling but I like RYG's laser stippling pattern.

skateboard tape isn't for looks either.  it also works better and you can replace it when it wears out

with stippling, all you can do is keep fucking up whatever it is that you're stippling

If the gun is blue, I'd go with the waffle pattern.  Plenty of examples online if you look around.

Stainless...

The frame is already ugly so stippling isn't going to hurt anything

I love all the jackasses on Armslist that think stippling adds any value to a firearm.

Now if it was dickbutt, I might be tempted to buy some cheap plastic to have a dickbutt stippled gun.

As it is, all of my handguns are steel.

Low cost low skill alternative to checkering.

Lower value.

Stippling has the unintended consequence of being a dirt and crud trap/magnet, and is very difficult to clean. I'd investigate other options.

Making this modification on one's pistol might have adverse warranty consequences.

Easily-cleaned checkering on a seldom-used rifle stock is one thing, but stippling on a often-used pistol is something different.

Some firearms have easily-cleaned grips/surfaces.  Witness the original checkered 1911 grips, which are grippy, but easily cleanable.

Ruger pistols'  grips are noted for their readily cleanable, but useable OEM grips.

FWIW, there is a school of thought that goes against the aggressive grip concept of pistol grips, and that school thinks it best to have some wiggle room in assuming the final grip on the pistol.  That's one of the reasons why 1911 grips are offered in slick side grips.

This anchoring of  one's pistol with an initial grip versus being able to adopt an improved grip while the pistol is being used/aimed/ is at the heart of the construction/ concetpt of pistol grips.

Many of the old Masters of pistol shooting would opt for smoothgrips on their pistols, because they had the experience and practice that allowed them to do so.

I can't recall any of the old Masters making a specific call for a more aggressive checkered pistol grip/front strap, and so forth.

OTOH, I have heard a great bleating from the dirty, ill-educated, and untrained proles for more aggressive pistol grips.  

Witness the debate amongst users of Ruger single-action pistols between the original "plow-handle" style of grip, and the revised 'Bisley" grip.   The former required the pistol sliding in one's grip in order for the user to re-cock it, and then the user's hand/lower fingers had to  bring it back into firing position,.  The  Bisely grip had a different hammer spur, and trigger, and all of the  above was simply done because the grip never shifted, the hammer spur was longer, and the pistol was in a position to shoot faster than the old "plow handle' type.  the Bisely revolver is a FAR better revolver because it is more controllable, and so more useful to the savvy pistolero.  Both grips are smooth-sided, but are of very different configuration,

This pistol is a custom build there is no warranty.

The trip is uncomfortable in the original configuration.

I might try a smooth refinish after I reconfigure it.

And come on it's not a nice single action it's a copy of a Tupperware gun.
