Whether you are wanting to stipple the grip of your polymer framed pistol, be it a Glock, M&P or otherwise, or maybe the grip on your AR-15 / M-4, it is doable. While it seems scary and daunting, it doesn't need to be.
I will walk you through stippling in this how to video. Trying some different patterns, finding one you like, and applying it. Give it a try and start small. Play around with a Magpul PMag until you get comfortable.

That opening background is outstanding. Love this channel.

[@KitBadger]

The trick? A loooong extension cord, haha. Ya, I liked where I was able to shoot that video. I would have probably done more work on the grip of that AR but I got tired of standing in snow... :)

[@randomhandle]

This video has me really stoked. I have a bunch of old mags to practice on and now I'm all exited to fix all the crappy grips on my polymers.

[@KitBadger]

Great to hear Ross! Let me know how it works out. Once you start playing with it, you realize it is pretty easy and fun.

[@ggmanatee]

Nice video, good editing and straight to the point -- I appreciate no rambling or fluff. Earned a sub

[@KitBadger]

Right on, thanks!

[@earthquakemagoon2505]

Dude that is freak'n KILLER! Thank's for the info on how to do this! Love the Punk Rock music you use also!

[@KitBadger]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching Stacy! I'm glad someone else likes punk too. :)

[@NORMandJAMIE]

Major points for the trooper

[@bradchenoweth7584]

Very cool intro to stippling. Makes that jacked grip a lot more awesome.

[@KitBadger]

Haha, right?! Church it up a little...

[@Jrotalty]

Great video man!

[@AlexanderGarbuz]

Another great video! Thanks man!

[@KitBadger]

Thanks for watching buddy!

[@BRTreedogs]

Great tips man thanks.

[@shtf411com]

Good video, I also like the camo pistol video; I've done similar to my truck, lol

[@KitBadger]

Thanks Sancho!

[@areaj8006]

Awesome I'm definitely going to try this

[@KitBadger]

Right on, let me know how it turns out for you.

[@SpookbotTV]

No problem, thanks for watching Kenneth.

[@dansigmon1559]

Thanks. Great tips.

[@KitBadger]

Thanks for watching Dan.

[@fredwhite9603]

Nice!! Thanks man!

[@KitBadger]

No problem man, thanks for checking it out.

[@gibsonusa2]

Been wanting to do this to my Benelli m4 forends. I scored a used oem set for $30. I never, for some reason, thought of practicing on a pmag for some reason. Mind blown

[@odonnchadha1978]

Ive got a wood burner and was wondering if it could be used for stippling. Great video thanks for the info!

[@KitBadger]

No problem, thanks for watching.

[@edarroyo1680]

I knew it was gonna be a good video just from the song!

[@KitBadger]

I like your style Ed... :)

[@krossF]

Nice! Whats your opinion on having an undercut, and finger grooves? The finger grooves dont bother me, but I feel like if my grip moves up on the pistol, they might be out of place

[@KitBadger]

Thanks man! I like when Glocks are undercut and the finger grooves removed. I ground down and stippled my finger grooves (admittedly not as well as maybe I should have) but it creates a better handling pistol for me. Finger grooves are great, if they match your hand perfectly, but from the factory they probably don't...

[@ellijahsmith4445]

OTDefence stippling tips are made specifically for stippling weapons. I’ve bought a few different tips over the years and have to say I’ve gotten near perfectly close to patterns you see on Salient Arms and other major companies. Looks much more professional compared to when I started off with just a plain old soldering tip.

[@KitBadger]

That is cool, I didn't know OTDefence made those. I remember checking out some of their other products, but I never saw those. If I was going to do a lot more stippling I would probably pick some up. I could see some of them as a huge time saver, haha.

[@KitBadger]

Nice, that goes way fast.

[@thecummingsclan0510]

Thanks for the tips, i now feel a little more comfortable not jacking up my grip thanks to you! I really appreciate this video!

[@KitBadger]

Right on, glad to help!

[@Shogunmir]

I think Ivan’s speech speed is a direct correlation to how cold it is.

[@alcapone3214]

Nice vid, but now I wanna shoot some questions… I wanna know if stippling a light colored polymer frame with a hot iron will darken the original color or will it make it go black like burned plastic? Does it really make it that much grippy even if your hands are wet/sweaty/bloody/greasy/cold? Is the recoil more manageable/better accuracy? Is it necessary to round off sharp bits with sand paper? Is it rough on your hands/clothing if the pattern has sharp pieces of melted polymer sticking out? After a long day of shooting does it chafe the web of your hand (between thumb and index)? Does it collect a lot of dirt and is it harder to clean than a stock frame? Is stippling really necessary if you usually wear gloves to shoot? What do you think about laser stippling (besides having a cleaner finish), does it have a grippier texture to them than the traditional stippling, which one do you prefer?

[@KitBadger]

Hey buddy, I'll try and help. 1. No it doesn't discolor in my experience. 2. Yes, depending on how aggressively you texture. 3. If a better grip helps you with this. 4. No, only if you want to. 5. It can be in which case you can use sand paper. 6. Only if it is really aggressively textured/ your hands are soft. 7. Not noticeably. 8. I've never had the opportunity to check out a pistol that was laser stippled.

[@alcapone3214]

Kit Badger Thanks for your reply dude. I’m considering stippling my gun using your method once I get some free time.

[@KitBadger]

Cool man, let me know how it comes out.

[@msmitty1015]

Love the camo pattern. Is that cerakote or paint?

[@c_martyboi1568]

What brand is that wood burning tool?

[@settleschris1965]

The patterns will look different on different guns as well.

[@C____H]

What vehicle is that?

[@johnhernandez6554]

Kit Badger: Use P-Mags, their cheap. My broke ass after college and covid: $3 is my budget

[@KitBadger]

Handfeed single rounds...

[@criscervera8312]

what temperature do you set it on

[@KitBadger]

One temp on mine, makes it easy. I wouldn’t worry about it though. Practice on a mag.

[@criscervera8312]

Kit Badger mije has a temp setting but i figured it out on my glock box 👌🏽appreciate it bro

[@mdavid9990]

What song is this? Thanks

[@KitBadger]

She's Drunk All The Time

[@mdavid9990]

@@KitBadger Rad. Thanks. Really enjoy the videos. Looking forward to more 8.6 Creedmoor information.

[@KitBadger]

No problem man, I love Tim Armstrong's music. I'm looking forward to more time with the 8.6 before too long. Thanks for watching!

[@doorkickerc.m.p.3874]

I'll do anything to increase my body count. Gotta stack those bodies.😁

[@temetitoelgordo4516]

Dude horrible enough said the stippling and the video !!

[@KitBadger]

I honestly have a hard time understanding you without any punctuation. Do you mean, "Dude, horrible. Enough said..."? Either way, feel free to use your words and articulate why, that way I can improve. And thank you for watching!
