Glock stippling and grip reduction

[Sambaru]

Here you can get a better look at the pattern (and the reduced grip).

And here you can see the underside of the trigger guard is also done (except at the back where it's smooth for the strong hand middle finger).

Not exactly how I would want mine done but this looks great.. looks pro and not like some crappy bubba'd job.

My wife has a wood burning tool for some kind of art reason (I'm not sure what it usually gets used for but she's an artist and has a lot of strange tools etc). I put a sharp, angular tip in it and sort of sketched along vertically in overlapping bands about a centimeter long.

I thought it turned out pretty well myself. I tried a few different textures on one of my many Glock mag loaders that collect dust in about a third of the drawers in my house and this is the one I liked most.

Yeah, I think it turned out great as well.

I tend to think vertical or horizontal grooves are better than stippling for "gripiness", especially if the pistol was wet or slick with something. I have nothing to base this on of course, other than the thought that the grooves might help channel some of the sweat, water, grime, blood, whatever, away instead of holding it in little dimples all over the grip...

Anyway, I'm going to have to give it a try one of these evenings. Thanks for posting!

Id never do that to my Glock. But I have an RTF2 and really dont need too. If your not worried about resale then fill your boots.

This is what I'd definitely do to my Glock if I could guarantee that type of quality:

And here's a guy that does it in Canada for the M&P backstraps... really cool designs but he won't do frames "yet"

sorry for image over load. These are some of my personal jobs, and some i did for friends. Im trying to learn how to do grip reductions, and adding frame undercuts

Just did my Glock tonight. Fells pretty good, almost as grippy as skateboard tape without the hassle.
