Gun Stippling
Custom hand and laser stippling for a better grip.
Custom hand stippling and laser stippling that adds texture exactly where you want it, for a firmer, more confident grip.
What is stippling?
Stippling is the process of burning small dots, or another pattern, into polymer handgun frames, grips, fore-ends, rail panels and even magazines such as PMAGs. The burn leaves a raised, textured surface that improves your ability to grip the firearm.
Hand stippling is traditionally done with a soldering iron, a tool made for joining electrical components that stipplers adapted in a technique similar to pyrography. The purpose is function, a better grip, but done well it is also a form of art.
If you do not have a steady hand, are not artistic, or would simply rather not risk a polymer frame, we recommend using our services. Have a specific pattern in mind? Send us a message. We have completed many jobs built around a customer’s own pattern or texture.
