So I picked up a Kahr CW9 a few weeks back and LOVE the gun. For some reason, I want to stipple a little index spot on one side (or both) for my thumb. I'm mainly looking to do it for indexing purposes, but I may stipple more of the grip to add a little more purchase to the pistol overall. So I practiced a couple of patterns on some PMAGs, so let me know what you guys think!

This is the first pattern I played around with. I like it, it's not too rough, a little subtle. Each PMAG cutout/section took me about 4 minutes to do, and maybe 3 once I got the rhythm going. I did the 3 sections on each side, and the 3 on the front for a total of 30-45 minutes of work. Very pleased with the detail and the relative quickness of the stippling.

This one took quite a bit more work. I got tired after 25 minutes and only having one cutout done! It's a little rougher than the other pattern but not too aggressive. I think I'd like to use this on the main grip of the pistol.
So, what do you guys think? I'm happy with it, especially after a day of practice. I plan on playing around with more PMAGs before I decide to defile a frame, but I think I'm off to a good start. Just looking for some constructive criticism/praise! Thanks guys!
