Looking for a shop that does hand stippling in NC preferably near Jacksonville. Looking to have my Glock 43x stippled
"Nevah bin dun befooooooore"I’d leave it as is…
If you want a 43x with custom stippling, just hang on. Eventually, one will pop up in the classifieds on here. It’ll most likely set you back around $1000+ and it’ll look like a rodent has chewed on it, but it’ll be “custom”, “rare” and unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else.
Serious question - how/why did this ever become a thing?
Answer above.You don't have a soldering iron and a fifth of vodka?
This post has gone in another direction then I anticipated. It became a thing because it adds texture to your frame therefore enhancing your grip. Now that we've figured out the why can we move on to the where I can get it done locally lol?Serious question - how/why did this ever become a thing?
Stippling is one of those things that are not well received when someone goes to sell their custom stippled gun. Many times, the seller grabbed a dermal, soldiering iron, and just go to work. Leaving the gun in a mess. Honestly, if I were going to get my gun stippled. I would use Danger Close Armament. Cost more, longer lead times, but they were one of the first real profession serves for stippling and their work is freaking awesome!This post has gone in another direction then I anticipated.

I did a glock using a stipple kit from OT defense and it turned out pretty good. They have lots different tips for all kinds of different patterns and you can also watch tutorials on their site and on youtube to help you with the proper techniques. Also the owner seemed nice. I called to ask some questions since it was my first time stippling and he gave good advise. Here is the store, and here are the tutorials if you're interested.Hahaha it's funny you ask that. I've been practicing a lot lately I just don't have the tips for the different patterns and I cannot figure out how to do recessed boarders to save my life.

You're a good sport about the ribbing. Welcome to the forum, you're going to fit in just fine.Lmao now I get the dog gnaw post 😂, appreciate the input but i still want it done.
Ya it's all in good fun! I actually have the talon grips on my 43x right now and I do like it but it's just not the same. But it is a great temporary solutionYou're a good sport about the ribbing. Welcome to the forum, you're going to fit in just fine.
Have you considered Talon grips or similar? The grip tape type doesn't comdemn the pistol to decreased perceived value if you want to sell it later. I will admit the sample @Studentofthegun posted is very good looking post modification.
OK, but now tell us about the car!David did my G26 and it is awesome. That or wherever Peter Roos works. That dude is insanely good.
