    "Grip stippling" and "look nice" are not two things that go together.

      I've got to ask what's the stippling for, grip enhancement?
      I myself have never found it aesthetically pleasing.

          I have a stippled glock frame for sale. I like it more than I thought I would. More comfortable than a stock frame and it won't slip out of my hands. Feels more secure when shooting one handed. I think it looks good but don't worry too much about looks - more worried about how it functions. Besides, when my hands are wrapped around it, it looks like any other glock.

                I worry about looks because resale is always present and I personally would never buy or sell something that looks like crap. I take pride in detail.

                      Better off with Talon Grips. Not permanent mod and cheaper.

                        How about the custom shop?
                        It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

                            Custom shops take too long to do anything.

                              Can you share your experience with the CS and why you feel "Custom shops take too long to do anything"
