Reminds me of the older custom 1911's you'd see with the trigger guard shaved off. Ugly as sin IMO lol.

I've always added texturing as opposed to stippling.

I'm just glad someone got that out of some idiot's hands, before they accidently shot someone due to that awesome trigger guard modification..

Oh my.
Seems a good way to reduce the resale value by 50%.
Why not get a Hogue slip-on?
Or a $.50 roll of friction tape?

There's always a time and place for the right kind of stipple work. I'd like to think something like my M&P with full grip stippling and undercut trigger guard makes a strong case for the argument that any person willing to research and practice this skill can achieve functional, and hopefully aesthetically pleasing, results.
All stippling was done using a soldering iron with a flat tip ground to a triangle shape. Trigger guard undercut was done using varying grits of sandpaper wrapped around deep well sockets of various size. No Dremels allowed!If you are local to me (F-M area) send me a PM, I'd love to shoot sometime.

Wow, that's good work. I'm "artistically challenged" so I wouldn't even attempt something like that on some practice polymer, much less one of my beloved M&P's.

I've seen some decent stipple jobs. I've also seen some stuff that looked like a blind beaver attacked it. Everything between ugly to sharp as hell with all kinds of jagged peaks from the material they left. I've also seen some guys ruin a Glock then try to sell it as "custom stippled" and demand a premium for their disaster.
Stippling has never been attractive to me as far as benefit compared to easy to remove grip tapes.
