Had been planning and planning for months on what I wanted to exactly do, and decided to loosely base by design off of Boresight Solutions stipple jobs.

Undercut and stippled the trigger guard as well.
Grip reduction was done by sanding down all of the frame that was stippled to a point where it is recessed from the unstippled portion of the frame.

Overall time about 4-5 hours.
Unfortunately I didn't make any progress photos, hadn't really thought about it. But here is the finished product!

Thanks for looking!
 
Neat effect on the grip, looks like it is covered in some sort of chainmail armor. Have you tried shooting with that stippling? If you did, how did it feel on your hand?
 
Yep went and shot it the night I finished it. Takes some getting used to, but the grip has definitely improved. Sweaty hands, no problem, your grip doesn't change at all. I like it way more.

Ya i've got a ton of upgrades done to it as well, it's a Phantom Trigger with Zev/Ghost parts for the trigger group.

Thanks Jon, and that's all it takes, originally I was afraid to even touch the thing since if you screw it up, there's no going back. But planning it all out, I was confident in how it'd turn out in the end.
 
I have one of mine stippled and like it much better than the others that are not. People say it devalues the gun and I say, I really don't care because I don't plan on selling it. I also have the slide milled and an RMR with supressor sites installed.

I know right! Hear everyone say "Oh man, now you'll never be able to sell it!!!" Umm I don't ever plan on selling my super custom special to me Glockenspiel, thank you very much.

And awesome! I was thinking about going the RMR route, but honestly I want to keep this thing Irons. If I ever get a G34, i'll build a race gun with an RMR or something on it for IPSC.
I'm waiting for my next match then i'm shipping the slide off to Blackbox Customs for some front serrations added, a tri-cut of the whole slide, and a Cerakote job. Much excite. And then i'm finally finished this gun.
 
Looks awesome. I am still debating on doing mine myself.

What did you use to make those perfect holes?! was it an attachment to the soldering iron or a specific one with that end?
 
Wow, that looks good! I was expecting a disaster with a whole bunch of "Dear God, what have you done" comments. You only showed us the left side. Did you mess up the right?
