E21A Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Always wanted a stippled grip on my G17 so thought I’d have a go on a couple of spare back straps I had knocking around. Pics are are of my second attempt. I bought a textured lower lower frame so I’m going to stipple my original lower as well. Let me know what you think.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted September 25, 2018 Supporters Share Posted September 25, 2018 It looks neat, and aesthetically nicer than the big chunky woodchip-style stippling that we've lolled at in the Airsoft Dreamers thread. This article suggests that deeper (messier) stippling provides more grip, but that's not such a big consideration for us as for real steel (or polymer) shooters.

heroshark Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 One day I'm gonna get a tm glock and stipple the whole thing including the slide, trigger, barrel, mag base plates, if I can melt it I'll stipple it. It'll be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 From what I've seen, that stippling effect suits Glocks really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enid_Puceflange Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Looks very tasty i wonder if the same effect can be done on a tan flavoured WE G17 unsure if the plastics are the same ?? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Provided it’s not rubberised plastics then it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MILITATED Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I would give my right (not left) testicle if someone could stipple a frame for me as shown below. Looking good for just starting out! I have seen some terrible stippling jobs in my time. Straight up looking like they just jabbed the frame with a knife a million times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Bottom one shouldn’t be too difficult to achieve, just keeping it neat would be the tricky part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 @BigBlackGlock some very rough and quick practice at ice at something similar to what you posted. As I suspected keeping it neat and uniform will be the tough bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
