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

[misanthropist]

No, I don't think that at all. My first post was "these threads separate the shooters from the gun owners."


That's not at all the same as saying "stipplers = shooters" as should be obvious from my posts throughout this thread.

 

[GunGuy34]

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

Right here bud.

Maybe you should try reading THE ONE SENTENCE IN THAT POST YOU DIDN'T PUT IN BOLD AND THE QUOTE IT'S RESPONDING TO.


Jesus.

Or for that matter even the first bolded sentence, where I specifically call a bunch of stipplers youtube commandos.

It's ok to stipple your guns...... It just don't add value. It decrease value of a gun unless someone is willing to pay for it.

Some guys are very handy doing theses mods and others not that much, the problem is that the ones that are not that much handy don't know it and think their work as "semi pro gunsmith" has to be paid when they sell the gun

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.

i went thru that stage.... 10 years ago, now all the glocks i shoot are stock, granted i have updated my daily shooters to gen 4.5's with the factory beavertails. but other then upgrading the sights to trijicon hd's i am running stock connectors and everything else.

i love the grip texture on the gen 4's... even more then my rtf2's

my user guns right now are a g41 and g34.... both gen 4.5's. got about 6k thru the g34 between defensive pistol and 3 gun, lubed but not cleaned and zero malfunctions, the g41 is just entering the rotation but will be my main gun for next year, glock hit a home run with the 41..... big bore longslide that fits g34 holsters, new gun with a well established holster availability.

I feel your pain lol....basically ruined the Glock pistol.

 

[cr5]

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.

Any pistol will explode in your hand with crappy handloads. Glocks are no different and I run handloads though mine all the time. Just don't run lead non jacketed bullets through a poly rifled barrel.

A stippled Glock is worth nothing to me. If these guys aren't happy with their pistol why not just sell it and buy a RTF Glock or another brand? Ruining a perfectly good pistol just seems silly.

I've seen Glock pics professionally done that looks like M&P's grip. But what what people do is ugly and just devalues the gun.

 

[tactical_tech]

I stippled the backstrap on my m&p. I tried the tape for awhile and I wasn't a big fan. After awhile they started to peel and some of my cleaning stuff reacted with it.

As for resale I could really care less, when I bought the gun for the NEW price, I already knew that was the first and last time my M&P was worth that much. Ya it may be harder to sell with the stippling but I have no reason to sell it, so I could care less if what I did devalued the gun in some people's eyes, but you'd be a fool to think it adds value. I will never stipple a glock though, because that would involve me purchasing a glock and I just don't think I could stomach that.

Different strokes for different folks.

These threads always separate the gun owners fron the shooters.

I'm not saying this isn't true - in fact technically I'm almost certain it is true. But I have yet to see a stippled glock catastrophic frame failure. I've seen maybe five cracked slides, usually in the 75-100,000 rounds range. Mike K had one go to 135000 before the slide failed.

So while I don't disagree...I think it's probably weakening the frame 1%, when it's got a 50% margin of error.

Holy crap. Even if you reload that is still like 20k worth of ammo. Now that's a shooter.

On the plus side, if your really fast, you can throw it and use it as a grenade

 

[juanvaldez]

Don't want to be thought of as a poser but at the same time don't want to completely ruin resale so just did a light stipple job. What do you's all think? I'm pretty happy with it. Really helps my grip and not noticeable from 10 meters away.

shows whos full of #### too.

if you knew what mikek did for a living you would'nt be saying that....

You really need to stop posting in this thread. Give it a rest.

doesn't say they shoot that in a year, do that over 5 years and it's $4K/year - if you concentrate on one gun, that's less than most people spend running out after the newest solution to a nonexistant problem. Alternatively, some guys shoot guns, some guys collect guns and sometimes take them out. Some folks see guns as tools, some see them as "man jewellery". Whatever floats you boat.
