Why stipple?

No offence to the OP, but I’ve never understood the need for stippling. There are so many good options out there that don’t destroy the original integrity of the gun that it seems like a poor use of money. If it’s a matter of just gaining a better grip, cut up an old bicycle tube and wrap that around the grip. Cost = $0.

Glockwork, L&M Precision, there are quite a few. Might join a local gun forum and ask around if someone local does and see their work firsthand. I had L&M do grip texture, different from traditional stippling, when I had my G19 built. I had another local guy stipple my stock G19 but with long cuts rather than the usual dot pattern.

Spray Grip Texture after shaved and finger grooves removed by L&M Precision.

As was already mentioned, there are several places that do good work if you would rather pay for it, I’ll add Cold Bore Solutions (if I’m recalling their name correctly) to the list.

Some people prefer checkering, some prefer no extra gripping material. And there are some who enjoy the stippled effect the best. We all have our own preferences. And concerning integrity, since you can order many guns WITH custom stippling, id say it must not do much integrity wise. All youve done is void the warranty, which… If you havent fired it enough to void the warranty already, then you really dont know if you need stippling anyways. So its a matter of opinion and preference.

Very true. To each their own.

I’m pretty positive stippling does not void any warranties. You are only altering the frame.
Any modifications to the frame such as stippling and grip reductions will void the warranty.
