Beautiful. What tool do you use for this stippling?
Aguila Blanca
Staff
Nicely done, I guess, but ... as a 1911 purist of sorts, my first question is, "Why?"

I just grind a punch to a point and harden it.. It's for added grip.

You can do that in 1/10 the time with a good electric engraving pencil. They cost $20.

wow, each one of those marks is a hammered dimple?
I stipple wood grips and stocks with a dremel and ball head.

Yes they are. It can eat up a little bit of time lol.

Stippling works well and doesn't eat up your hands if you shoot a lot of rounds. You can blunt the points of checkering which helps quite a bit.

You did a very neat job of it.

I didn't use any borders on this one. The stippling runs the length of the front strap and stops on the front of the trigger guard. I guess you could call it a fade out I don't actually have a term for it. I just stippled a straight line and ran my stippling up to that point.

Hard stop works for me.

Stippling to me always looks like someone couldn't afford checkering.
