I am sure there is a how to thread on stippling but I cant seem to find one. If someone could point me in the right direction I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks. jgalvan |

The short version is to get a cheap soldering iron ($7-$20) and get after it.
There is however a craft to it, I'd suggest practicing on a Pmag or something similar first. The better irons will come with several different tips that will obviously mark the plastic in a different pattern. |

the stippling will sometimes leave sharp edges on the grip of the gun and can tear up long sleeve shirts and concealment garments. The new hotness is to spray on that rubberized bedliner stuff instead.
Either way, theres a guy named dale honeycutt that runs a company called grip reductions who can do that for you as well. |

Is the bedliner stuff removable? I've only used the fine grit grip tape. mm Uhh, i dont think its removable, but then again, grip stippling or the sandpapery texture jobs arent either. Just about any of these grip modifications are going to be a permanent deal once you commit to them. However, just about all of them will improve your hands adhesion to the grip, its just a matter of personal preference on what you go with. I think the sandypaper route will give you the strongest grip in all conditions, rain sweat, blood ect. The rubber is second best, but if i had to go back and do it again, i would go with the rubber grip stuff since I pretty much exclusively wore long sleeved work uniforms and when i carried my glock, it always left the inside of my right sleeve looking like a damn Q-tip... Im sure Dale Honeycutt would have examples of both that he could show you. |

I just got my Glock stippled by a pro. Method Burn located in Dallas. Fair price and fast turn around (Monday to Friday).
I figured by the time I bought and soldering iron and screwed up a couple pmags I would have spent the same money as a professional job. I picked the parts I wanted stippled and they did the rest. It looks better than my poor picture taking skills can show.
