Looks good to me! I'm looking at trying the tree bark or Starburst pattern but need to get a better tool. Thinking of a wood burning kit or a better solder iron.

Good stuff man

[Code3Patriot]

Looks good - I like how you didn't stipple the areas with factory grip texture.

[jmoney]

What did you use (tool&tip) to make that texture, that's exactly what I'm wanting

[SteveL]

Looks good but you may regret going so high up on the back strap. That area can bite into the meat of your hand when shooting. I did the same thing on the first pistol I stippled and ended up smoothing that area back out with my Dremel.

I used a Craftsman soldering iron with a stanard tip and the one that looks like flat head for the thumb indexing points.

Your right it does bite. I'm going to smooth it out with some light sanding in that area. Thanks

Looks good

I have always been too chicken shit to try it on one of mine

[domestique]

Nice job,

I like the contrast between the finger grooves and the stippling.

I have a couple polymer pistols that need done, but have always been too busy/lazy with other projects.

finally stopped being a sissy and went for it, I think it turned out great. This thing really sticks to my hands now

Guns turned out nice fellas. Just started stippling and decided to start out with pmags

Turned out pretty good but still haven't mustered up the courage to do my Glock 30 yet

[sierra 223]

Looks as good as any that I have seen. I am scared to try it also, I think I will start with a PMAG as well.

Great job.

[paulw350]

awesome stippling jobs on all.

[tmanker]

Looks good. I used the chisel tip at a 45 in both directions. I personally like it better than the dots.

[Nightstalker865]

Looks great! I really need to get brave enough and try this on my Gen 3 G19.

[Gatekeeper]

Nice job!
+1 on the practice on P-mags and their dust-covers first to get a feel for it:dirol:

[whick1]

I have done several PMAGS and the A2 grip on my Daniel Defense. Love them both. I used a wood burning tool I got from Wal MArt for like $8 to do mine. On the A2 grip i actually melted the fiber hump that I have always hated. I melted it down to being level with rest of the grip sanded it a little then stippled it all. I have never been a fan of the A2 grip but after removed the finger hump and stippling the grip pretty deep it is my favorite AR grip I have tried. Do not have the balls at the moment to try it on my Glocks but would love to.

Here is my stipple job. A full size M&P 45. I did a little practice on a old plastic AK pistol grip first.
Front strap and index points.

no pics, but I just did my first a couple of weeks ago. I sanded off the finger grooves and stippled both my 26 and 17
