Grip Stippling or Why I Just Can't Leave My Guns Alone

[sadclownwp]

So I got this itch today, maybe because it was V-Day and my plans were canceled, or maybe it was because I have always wanted to try. Whatever the case, I practiced for about 4 hours and prolly inhaled enough chemicals to cause some sort or cancer, but I did it.

This picture gives you a comparison of what the regular medium grip looks like, and what it looks like with my stippling job done.

It really improves the grip dramatically. It just feels better in my hand now.

There's a nice article in the new Recoil mag about doing this. Was this your inspiration or just a coincidence?

Good luck with the cancer butt.

What? There is an article on this. Damn it... I just did trial and error. I'll have to pick up an issue and see how mine compares.

Wow looks great...

IMO that looks ugly. Does it help with the grip much?

It is ugly as sin, but I don't carry a gun to look pretty. I don't even know how to describe how much it helps the grip. It has good grip before, but now, it is so grippy that, I am confident that I could fire with gun with oil soaked hands and the gun would not move at all in my hand

Well then you did the right thing!

Looks as if you did a good job. I wouldn't mind trying that on my G33, it's a handful to hold onto when firing hot loads!

Looks like you did a good job! Stippling makes a world of difference on the grip of a hand gun.

I might have to grab a copy of that recoil mag and check it out myself.....

Yet you painted it with nail polish

If it looks cool or improves function

I hope everyone does this to their guns, I thought the M&P was grippy before, but it is a night and day difference.
