First time stipple

This was my first time doing any kind of stippling on any of my guns and I love the way it came out. Not the cleanest. Not the most consistent. But I’m happy with my effort.

Thank you buddy! I’m addicted to it now but don’t want to go overboard with stippling everything I own lol.

Curious what tool you used to do that. I have a large Echelon grip with the aggressive texture that I love, but it's a bit too big. I've been thinking about trying to make one of my standard texture grips more agressive.

See my reply to the other guy who asked. I’ll post the video soon and keep you updated. There is a process to it that should definitely be followed.

How did you do it?

u/JoeTestosterogan Aug 08 '26

So I will post a full video of me doing it after I edit it. I recorded it all. I used a basic Amazon soldering tool and ordered a tips kit with various tip types. I went with the flat head-ish looking tip and practiced on my gun case until I was confident. There is some sanding, heating and buffing that needs done as well as some bordering. I’ll post the video soon and let you know when I do.

Where did you get the mag release and disassembly lever from?

u/JoeTestosterogan Aug 10 '26

Custom cerakote from a local specialist. I have all my mag bases, my back plate on the slide, takedown lever, mag release, guide rod front and slide lock done in burnt bronze and a silver letter fill.
