For the love of God..stop stippling your Glocks!

[Newfoundlandrover]

First off, It's your gun, so personalize it as you see fit....but...don't expect it to sell for a premium. Again my expectations take a hit as I answered a classified ad for an early Glock 17 in "mint" condition. The price was a little on the high side, but I would have paid it. All the paperwork,original magazines, and even some Gen 1 Glock promo stuff....perfect!...BUT,...the owner decided to stipple it with a soldering iron to "enhance" the grip. I would have gladly paid his premium, but to me it was ruined. I hate soldering irons!!

Take a deep breath... And out...

I agree. Bubba's gun smithing lowers value.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP BUYING GLOCKS!!!!

Totally agree and it happened to me for a "new never fired G19"

Price was good... And I saw the stippling job... Worth 0$ to me

I love when people stipple glocks. It rarely impedes the function and it radically decreases the resale. $350 low round count G17s? Sure.

People who stipple guns need to invest in skateboard tape - simply wrap the tape around your hands so you can't hold a soldering iron.

^^^^haha so true

I had to look this up, never heard of it. I think grip tape would accomplish the same thing and be removable so not sure why anyone would do this.

The week wouldn't be complete without another Glock thread.

your kidding right? Nobody sells them for that, they try to get retail for the stippled glock.

You can order talon grips right off the website to Canada. Easy as apple pie!

Well the force of the .50 bullet on target is about the same as the explosion in your hand while using reloads in a glock...

I think I come out on top here.

I dont reload and the manual says to not use reloads so there. And i can buy a zillions glocks for the price of your .50cals so there!

 

[GunGuy34]

On a serious note if your a hard core shooter, and have no plans of selling the gun, instead you will be shooting the #### out of it then who cares. I respect KevinBs opinion and he shoots alot and stipples his M&Ps ext... Im a weekend shooter at most so I prefer Talon grips, or even better RTF2 Glocks.
