DIY stipple job on a couple of my firearms.

[BLACK LION]

I have been doing som stippling with a 5.00 Wal Mart 30w soldering iron. It has a length adjustable ball point tip which is all I use since it leaves a nice "pore" that sucks in skin. I have been stippling my firearms wherever its applicable and I have also stippled a surefire G2 and Gerber axe with great results. This would also work wonders on plastic hi-cap mags such as the Magpul Pmag etc...infact, it works on anything that is plastic.

I also use Mob grip tape on top of the slide on my pistols to enhance my slide manipulation abilities. Grip tape is the only option since I wont dare take a hammer and a punch to any of my guns.

Looks good. Very attractive.

I've seen DIY stipple jobs on Kel-Tecs and on Hi-Points that I liked but never on a magazine.

Personally, I'd be reluctant to do a stipple job on a mag out of concern that it would grip up too much and impair insertion or removal.

Your skill with the iron is to be commended. Most of the time, when I see people doing DIY stippling, they end up making the frames look like their dogs chewed on them.

 

[KenpoTex]

nice work...I've done my Glocks and I think they both turned out pretty well, this procedure definitely enhances the "gripability" of the gun.

 

[BLACK LION]

I really appreciate the feedback everyone.

I will post up some pics of my SF G2 light, gerber axe and some carry knives as soon as I can.

Polymer Hi caps only sit so far in the mag well, so there is plenty of real estate left to stipple without impeding fit or function.
I am speaking generally of AR and AK type rigs since they are very common and both have a market full of polymer mags. Pistol mags are generally a no go becuase they do not protrude from the mag well.

This is where you went left and I went right. I thought you were talking about pistol mags.

Don't breathe too much of those plastic fumes, Lion. Rather have you healthy and here with us.

Your work excellent! I have to admit, usually when I hear DIY stippling, I cringe inside because I don't want to know how it looks. Not so this time.

here's one of mine (G17)

 

[BLACK LION]

Very nice KT!!!!

I have a G17 inbound after years of being anti Glock. I guess the light finally came on that I am just being ignorant.

What kind of holster is that? It looks like a Raven concealment on dopeamine. I want one.

Yep!

and yes, Raven Phantom LC (light-carrier)...great piece of kit. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the belt loops are a little fragile due to the thinner kydex. Of course, if you're using other attachment methods (like blade-tech loops), there's no problem.

Nice clean job and a heck of a lot easier than checkering......

 

[Brian S]

That's some nice work guys. Ya'll are much braver than I!

 

[Jack Meower]

Very nice work! I also cringe when I read about do-it yourself stimpling, but you are very good.
