So here is my first attempt on a pistol, (tried two pmags this week).
Good, Bad, Or ugly? Any suggestions?

I'm not a fan of stippling personally (just a personal opinion and not a reflection on you) but it looks like you did a nice job.  

How did you do it?

Filed off the checkered spots and took a soldering iron and just started making dimples. It is aggressive, most opinions I've got locally are the same as yours, it looks like it should but they don't like it. Kinda a bummer

It's yours, as long as you like it...
Definitely not for me or my PM9.

Gotcha.  I think you did a nice job and put some nice effort into it.  It's just not what I prefer.  However, I can't fault your workmanship!!

You could have painted the gun with pink paint and it might have been done well...but it wouldn't have appealed to me either!!

Looks fine if it's grippy. I'm more concerned w/ the function aspect, most guns need grip tape/stippling or something. Put some oil/sunscreen/whatever on your hands to simulate blood and shoot.

Im personally a fan of smaller stippling, but if it works go for it. Also if you think its too much, sanding down a stipple job really makes a lot better imo
