did some mods to my Glock's

[Guest tbreed725]

they had been modded a little before but i wasn't completly happy with the bumps left from the finger grooves on the 23 so i took more off and did more stippling absolutley love it now , and the 19 had a different pattern to the grip stippling i redid it to my liking better .

and this is what i carry every day

[Guest sling]

Well..

Its interesting.

Puts the stippling on the USP to shame, thats for sure.

Chia-Glock.

I think stippling makes a ugly glock even uglier. I need to hold one and see how I like the feel of the grip, maybe it will change my mind and I will stipple my 17.

If you did that yourself... good work.

[Guest tbreed725]

yea i did it myself if you do it yourself make sure not to press into the plastic as it can ruin the frame , try out your pattern and work on an airsoft gun or an old plastic mag bottom first

i normally dont like the stippling but yours looks great. i've been thinking about having a 3rd gen G22 getting a grip chop down to a 27 size, finger grooves removed and some stippling done on it...

That looks good, but if you go to resell it later (I know we all plan to keep them forever, but that rarely happens) I think it might make it difficult.

That's one of the better self-done stippling jobs that I have seen to date. You did good.

+1 to that! I've been fighting the urge to have my G29 stippled, as I've put plenty of money into her already. Still, that 10mm is a beast of a round, so the old gal tries real hard to squirm out of my hand--especially in rapid fire. I've been using grip tape to compensate, but it pretty much destroys my back and my shirt when I carry IWB. Seeing the quality work you were able to do is inspiring...

Yep. The rubbery stuff doesn't work as well, and I've got to be able to tame the beast if I want to keep carrying my 10mm for personal defense. My follow-ups in rapid-fire are dead-on now, but it's hell on the flubber and the wardrobe.

Does your grip actually depend on the inside part of the grip?

Meaning, I've got I guess average hand size for a 6'2" guy, but my fingers barely make it all the way around the front strap to the actual flat surface on inside (right handed).

So, I have grip tape on outside of butt and on inside thumb niche only. And for just that reason...didn't want the inside of grip to sand my waistline down (even though it could use it).

Actually, yes. I'm 6'5", and I have the largest hands (heel to fingertip) of anyone I know. That's a big reason why I didn't mind carrying the G29 with its big, fat grip in the first place. I probably could've gotten away with not putting the inside panel on, but then it wouldn't have been as pretty, either...

[Guest Todd@CIS]

tbreed, great job! Stippling a Glock makes all the difference.

Well, I won't debate whether your Glock or my XD SC is prettier, since we'd both lose.

Does putting the barrel in vinegar make it more susceptible to rust?
