G 19 grip mod

grinding finished now time to stipple

I would grind some more off before stippling. If you stipple now, you will probably end up with light depressions due to the alternating checkered and smooth spots.

Thanks I think I am going to take a little more off of the bottom of the trigger so i may take the texture off the grip. I did my G26 and didn't take the grip texture off and I have not noticed

I Dremeled mine down till it was smooth all the way around and hit it with 800 grit sandpaper. I find if not it leaves shadows in the stipple.

What is involved in the stippling process? How is it done?

The stippling is done I did forget to do the mag release when I took theses pictures but it is done now. On the trigger guard I tried a new bit that I textured trying to get as close a match to the original finish as possible. Gun fits and feels much better, over all the most noticeable change as it relates to my grip on the gun is the undercutting of the trigger guard.

I took your advice and took the factory grip off the front and back left the sides as they were.
