    Glock Stippling

    I am looking to breath some life into an old G22 by getting the frame stippled before I have it cerakoted. I like the look of the work done by Joint Force Enterprises (see pic below) and have heard good things about SSVI (https://www.facebook.com/SSVi.LLC).

    Is there anyone or any company that does good stippling in or near the Bay Area? Do you guys who have had a stipple job done to any of your polymer framed guns have someone you recommend? Thanks.

    Tactical Texture does the best work I have ever seen. If i ever go for stippling I will go to the trouble to send it to them.



    Look at the work they do for relieved mag release button

          Agency Arms. https://agencyarms.us/frame-work/ Have them do the trigger to while they have it. You won't regret it.

            I googled the name and did not find a location.

            Any details on the shop/ location/ website?

              What Skyhawk said. Dakota Glock Guy from http://www.tacticaltexture.com does a great job. I wish I had that kind of money for a nice stipple job.

                  A little shy of $400 if other options are added.

                    Looks like Tactical Texture do top quality work, with a price to match though. Their mag release relief cut is awesome. Cold Bore customs looks like a good option. His work seems high quality and very reasonably priced compared to some others. I am trying to price out a couple different options.

                    Any idea what Agency Arms charge? Their work looks very nice too and also offer cerakote for $25 if i'm not mistaken. I am after quality work, but not necessarily the highest end provider. I'm not saying that I don't want people to post who the best are because I would like to know incase I get other guns done in the future, but this G22 is kinda my "beater" Glock so I am conscious of cost on this. However, as I said before, quality is very important and I want consistent work and peace of mind that the frame won't be damaged so I will spend the required $ for that peace of mind.

                    My G19 has had some top quality work on it where I forked out a bunch of $$$ and I am very happy with it. But that was a complete package on all major components. I also have a G42 that I may consider having stippled at some point. I have grown to really like that little gun and would probably go for the best stipple job I can on that one.

                    Thank you guys for all the input so far.

                      I just got my 19 back from zev. Got the ccw stipple, which is the standard stipple, but they slightly sand to smooth out the sides of the grip for a little less aggressive texture so it doesn't hurt your skin on contact or destroy clothing. Also had a reduction of the back hump on the grip, finger grooves removed, and double undercut grooves on the trigger guard.

                      Was extremely happy with the work and how it fits my hand after getting it back and taking it to the range

                      U can also add a thumb texture to either side, but I opted not to do that.
                      It was $165 from zev for the grip job

                        Agreed with Sixer as well. Zev's prices are very competitive.

                        My buddy had his G19 done in silicon carbide, finger grooves removed and trigger guard trimmed for $165. Add $35 for return shipping. Clean job for $200. The pistol now looks...fluffy

                          So this is also Zev work right? Can you or Sixer tell me what their turn around time was?

                            Their average turn around is listed at 3-5 weeks. But it all depends how busy they are at the moment. I got mine back in 8 days after dropping it off with them(they are local to me) for my grip job to be completed. You have to email or call them to get the order form with the options for the grip job though as it is not listed on their site.

                            The silicon carbide stippling is supposed to be a much more aggressive texture if I'm not mistaken. But, I didn't really look much into that option.
