GLOCK stippling

[imknadian]

Does anyone here have any pointers on the tools needed to correctly stipple a GLOCK frame? Also any pics of self done jobs? Any pointers on what NOT TO DO would be appreciated.

I have a Glock 35 and would like to stipple my grips in order to get a better grip.

You'd get better results posting your Q at GlockTalk.

From Glocktalk, most guys were using some form of soldering iron

Forget that and just get a set of a-grips...

Looks kinda funny but damn they feel amazing. Wet, cold, hot, doesn't matter...

Skateboard tape works well too!

The thing with skateboard tape and just about any other grip mod is that they're rough as hell... you can't comfortably shoot for too long before getting blisters, or you have to wear gloves.

If you get a chance to fondle a Glock with a-grips, do it... I've since put a set on my 21c as well. It feels amazing.

Honestly, I have never had my hands "torn apart" from skateboard tape. I should say though, that my hands are pretty rough, from what I do for a living. Also, the grips wouldn't be allowed in Production Division for IPSC, if the shooter wanted to play that game.

Send me a pm with your email address and I'll email you some pics of my Glock 23 with
stippling.
personally it works much better than tape did.
YMMV

Also depends on your hand size. While the stock grip may fit well, if you put a slip on grip or tape on it, it may increase the size just enough to change that. As for stippling a Glock, well, it's plastic, hot knife or soldering iron will work. - dan

never done a glock , but did do an M&P before. the stippling gave a great grip but it is very much permanent
