Stippling is enhancement of the grip surface of a firearm through a process by which heat is applied to the polymer frame of the firearm creating raised “blisters.” Several different textures or patterns can be achieved by using different applicators, changing strokes, or varying temperatures. These textures provide the ability to maintain a secure grip on the firearm in the worst of conditions, to include wet or cold weather, while wearing tactical gloves, or when your hands are wet from rain, snow, blood, or mud.
Aside from the tactical advantage given by these textures, the beautiful and unique new texture adds character and attitude to your beloved firearm. The custom design makes it a one of a kind, always identifiable, work of functional art. Depending on your profession, your firearm may be more than just another tool, it may be your lifeline. By adding stippling and other customization, you can make it truly yours and get increased desired effect with greater efficiency.
