Stippled my first Gen4 Glock today

[Rellik]

I would really like to see a glock with the entire frame stippled (minus the rail ofcoarse).

I gotta say I admire the patience and focus it takes to do that, even if I'm OK with the stock appearance and feel.

If *I* were doing that, I'd melt like 5 or 6 little spots and "LOOK! A Squirrel!" Then I'd have to slap some grip tape on it and feign innocence.

Did my first FDE frame today. Like the OD frames you've got to be careful not to scorch the polymer as it discolors easily.

Hold it in your hand and it would become clear.

Exactly. This does make a poly much less slippery in the hand!

I have had multiple comments on my xd phylo did many moons ago..

Very nice work.

Nice job. I stippled a Pmag and it came out real nice. I haven't been brave enough to do my Springfield XD.

Pic? I was JUST thinking, I wonder if they do this to XDs, too, and then I scrolled down and the next post was yours!

Not the best pic

I have to ask.......... How will this affect the value of the piece?

It makes it all grippy.

I handled one of p-dogs G-locks at the old Beech Groove store. It is not super aggressive and feels good for those of us with thick but, um, soft office hands.

"office hands" .. ohh is that why they are all soft?

Really like the look of this. Deffinately have to try this one day. Nice work!

That looks tough! Good job,

I'm gonna have to shoot a stippled model some day. May have to get it done.

Just read an article that explained the Gen4 Glock with a smaller back strap fits better for smaller hands so that they don't have to turn the gun in your hand to reach the magazine release, so maybe it'd be worth checking out again. And with the stippling, maybe it's pretty comfy.

I want to do or have done to my new g36. My only question is how hard is it to clean mud or dirt out of the stipples? Seems like it would be hard.

An old toothbrush and some hot running water makes it a pretty easy proposition.

Definitely one of the best Ive seen done. I would definitely be ok having mine done at this quality. Very straight lines and consistent. WELL DONE!

Here is from when he did my Kahr PM9... I requested the grippy spot for where my trigger finger rests and i think it's a must as it makes keeping your finger outside the trigger guard a breeze. I challenged him to do the magazine extension as well to match the gun and he pulled it off like a champion. I don't think i'd have him do a gen4 glock unless i wanted it more aesthetically pleasing, as i think the frame is grippy enough. I wouldn't hesitate to send him a Glock Gen3 or less, Kahr, M&P, Keltec, Sig, etc etc. I can't recommend it enough on the compact or smaller guns. My coffee can groups turned into soup can groups at 25yrds. The whole reason i got mine done was that i shot a Phylo'd Pm9 side by side with mine and i didn't want to shoot mine anymore...I can't allow someone else to have something better than me so i made the call.

As far as diminishing the value of the gun goes, I've had several offers, from those who have shot mine, for more than what i've paid for it + the stippling, so I don't really think it's an issue. It may be an issue if you go to sell it used at a gun store as your gun has been "modified". Rest assured they will then double the price and call it Ultra Custom when they go to sell it. The only negatives IMHO are that it costs money, and you may not like the look. Personally I've got tons of money and i think they look great. Essentially if you're cheap and/or fashionably bankrupt this may not be your thing. The benefits include, but not limited to, increased grip, tighter groups, and a finish that stands out in a crowd.

That fde frame looks awesome.

 

[ZX-14R]

That is some of the best stippling I have ever seen. Dare I ask how much that runs? On a Glock 21SF Gen3 perhaps?

That looks gooood. Had a XD that I ALMOST did that to, but got a little to nervous about it. Now I wish I would have done it. Great job
