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

As usual I completely agree with you

So whats the " I dont stipple my pistols becouse I only shoot in a climate controlled indoor range and shoot production ipsc however all my waterfowl shotguns with synthetic stocks are stippled since my hands are usually wet"

Can I please be a shooter too
 
Sure sounds like shooter country to me. Pistol guys of my particular interests don't have any kind of monopoly on what constitutes "a shooter". I stand by my definition somewhere earlier in this thread...something about once you're making your decisions based on the performance of the gun and you're training yourself according to a shooting-based end goal, what else could you call yourself but a shooter?

Sounds like me - except for the shotgun bit, and the climate controlled indoor range bit, and the IPSC bit, but other than that, it sounds like me.
 
Not all stippling is created equal. On my last course, the last day we shot indoors. It was hot and very humid. My arms and hands were sweating badly. I found the stippling on my Gen 3 Glock was still not aggressive enough to give me a good grip on the gun. I had to wipe the front and the back of my hands on my shorts between evolutions, but that didn't help much. If I hadn't stippled my Glock it would have been even worse. I now stipple my guns much more aggressively.

My Glock stippling:

The stippling I use now:
 
Holy crap 3 hours that guy said in the video to stipple a gun? and then it looks like crap.... no thanks.... not a Glock guy anyway LOL
 
the only thing worse than a stippled Glock is a stippled 1911

in all fairness.....I have seen some decent stippling work on some guns. BUT....they're few and far between and they weren't done on a kitchen table after a few too many beer
 
its funny people who say shooters stipple thier glock while people who are against ruining resale are wankers...... why is it then that the majority of stippled gun i see for sale are low round count, or in the case of a g19 and a g17 recently NIB/UNFIRED.
 
Nothing wrong with stippling, may end up doing that as an additional mod to my frame. I want good grip, grip tape does well, right now, I've tried hockey tape and so far so good.

Depends on what you mean, I guess. I'm big on shooting guns stock, as I think it's a testament to skill and ability to be able to switch from your personal gun to a duty gun to a friends loaner to a new one you've just pulled out of the box and be able to use them all equally well because you've never relied on a crutch - be it stippling or a drop-in trigger or fancy sights.

That said I see nothing wrong with making any modifications you desire to your own gun, if you plan on keeping it forever. Just don't expect anyone else to value those modifications. I know I would view stippled Glocks being sold on the EE as defaced items, and expect the price to reflect that.

That does happen for sure, although they're usually obvious in these threads as part of the "gun owner" camp.



"don't hate, its' my gun and it looks awesome + i get wicked grip" = youtube commando

"You're ruining your gun and you have no respect for your possessions" = old man yells at cloud

"I found solvents turned skateboard tape to gum, so this is a better solution for me" = congratulations, you're a shooter

What a pile of garbage. The 1000s of shooters running talon grips are not shooters eh lmao. Threads like this separate the ego driven guys that think they are the Gods of handguns from the normal folk.
 
Bill Jordan used to prefer a smooth grip on his revolvers, because he said that in the case that you screwed up the draw, you could re-establish a good grip quicker with smooth grips and you weren't married to a bad grip. I don't know - it's not like I'm not stippling my M&P to preserve it's value, it has virtually none, but I'm pretty sure that when I sell those 2 Glocks I bought (on a whim - not so bright) the fact that I didn't stipple them will mean something to someone.

Talons would be great, if they worked - over time & use they start to peel off, just like grip tape. Junk.
 
####, some of you people are sensitive.

Look, just so a couple of you can feel included in the grown-ups group, if someone said to me "I need the extra grip but I buy and sell guns often enough that permanently modifying a gun doesn't work for me" or "I need it to match my duty gun so stippling my training gun just makes me used to something I won't have if I need it" I'd say "that makes tons of sense and I would do exactly the same".

But if your argument against stippling is "I can't believe you ruined your glock, it was perfect as is" then yeah, that tells me something.

Also I skimmed this thread looking for the person who is arguing that stippling your glock proves you're a shooter and didn't see it...who is that?
 
Glocks seem to be the gun that everyone immediately improves after purchase. Stainless steel guide rod, grip angle, beaver tail, texture, trigger, slide grips, slide release, mag release and sights. Sigs, IWI and HK generally stay stock and their owners seem just as happy. Just like a Honda Civic I guess.
