Who to use for laser textures/grip work?

Laser seems to be a good option to hand cut stippling being that there are more options for patterns. Has anyone used a specific company they can recommend?

If you are doing a Glock, Wilson Combat does good work.

I got a wood burning kit off amazon for under $20. It came with multiple heads, and with a little practice you can achieve some cool textures. Maybe practice on an ar15 cheap removeable grip before going to a glock frame thats more expensive. Personally I re-stippled my glock like 3 times and its still fine. I was even able to turn a really bad first job and a really deep second job into a good micro 3rd job.

Bentline’s texture looks incredible.

To be frank, the only reason I'd get a Glock stippled is if it was part of a total grip reduction package. I've handled guns done by Boresight Solutions and they are excellent, but I didn't get to shoot them. I've also handled one ColdBore Glock and it was nice as well. Wilson does nothing other than put a cool pattern on the sides of the grip.

This. Just diy. Paying 300 plus for something you can do yourself in a few hours is just silly

Arguably, laser "engraving" of the frame is the better method as it does not appreciably heat the material in the same way that a soldering iron does. Whether it's worth it or not is another question but OP has apparently decided that FOR HIM it may be.
