Wood burning or soldering tool used? Looks great!

Took about an hour with a wood burning kit. The kit came with a ton of times, I used the small pen head one. There were funky ones but I wasn't that adventurous with my weapon.

That's honestly the best looking stippling I think I've seen on an M&P.

I like how it preserves the lines and the emblem, very well done.

Very affordably done as well.

Looks almost like a factory finish.

If you are right handed would stipple right above the trigger guard where your left thumb would rest, this would ensure a constant grip every time by feel and memory.

That looks great. I am picking up an M&P9 on the 26th. I hope my stippling job turns out as well as yours.

That's the best stipple job I've seen maybe on any pistol.

I was aware of this going in. As of right now, my left thumb lands on the take down lever. I have tried to get it to reach that "patch" that others have put on their M&P but just is not comfortable for me.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! Greatly appreciated!

This took me an hour with a $11 soldering iron … before the new 'wood burning' trend caught on … ;)

The frame is actually easier than the inserts as it burns 'slower'

I like it a lot once in hand but … it does tend to catch and hangup more after reaching on my over-shirts when concealed.

Those are great outcomes. Very nice work.:cool: You guys are tempting me to try this on some spare back straps and Pmags.;)

Try it on some of your plastic gun cases first.
