This video details some techniques that I use for stippling handguns. Some of the video is Glock specific but most of the techniques can be applied to any type of stippling. If you need any type of firearm modifications let us know. I guarantee I’ll beat anyone’s prices and turnaround time on any work you have done!

I think I speak for everyone, when we were a little skeptical, we first started on the block, then once we saw that halfway mark, everyone’s draw dropped lol. Hats off man, what an amazing job.
I appreciate it!
Don't sell yourself short... You, sir, are an artist for sure. If a chick can urinate on a crucifix & get a grant as an art student, I believe your work should stand by Van Gogh & DaVinci in a museum (or in my personal safe) 😉
Man this comment made my day 😂
I didn't know Matthew McConaughey did pistol stippling. Great job!
Aaawwwwlllllll rrriiiiiiiiiiiiigghhhht
That's not a Texas accent dumbass. That's Tennessee or Kentucky or something like that.
That’s a southeastern accent. Southern Appalachian most likely. Nothing near a Texan accent
You guys are taking my comment way too serious. Gee whiz. Lighten up!
@@faithfulfatherof2 fuck you cory
i was skeptical when you first started but that turned out really good, nice job man
Same here but as he finished it and put it back together i sat on my couch jaws locked for a minute, he says otherwise but this definitely is art
Diamond dremel bit,flex extension,and heat controlled iron are the most overlooked parts to a good stipple job,being able to control heat makes a huge difference in the end look,I haven't seen one you tuber catch that yet,also buffing the under cut to a mirror finish (looks wet) is very easy if you know the tricks,when using a larger bit like a waffle go slow don't let the frame get to hot,this is where people got inconsistent results with the waffle,you cant go fast
1st try using the cheapest soldering iron I could find, completed a perfect triple weave, under cut, finger rests on my SD40VE. Only thing you need is common sense and patience
The same way I learned how to tattoo is how I learned how to Stipple my guns... got board and wanted to challenge myself so i did it myself. Life is learning so you can pass it down. Everything I learn isn't taking the next man or women out of business. There's probably like 3 or 4 maybe 5 billion people on earth but there's always a younger generation coming in that will want to do & learn the same thing. Me being me I have 2 sons && 2 daughters @ 28 i know my likes && hobbies may rub off kuz they see me do it every day. Thank you for your tips & techniques.
YOU NEED TO UP YOUR PRICE, THAT WORK IS AMAZING AND YOUR SKILL SHOULD BE COMPENSATED!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video man. Thank you for this. I'm trying to start a business customizing guns, and I'm blown away by your skill. Great job and thanks again
Chevy Z0Slicks I’m really glad you enjoyed it. That’s the main purpose for me making the video.
i did tape the ruler and then use my solder tip to create a line then use your tiny chisel, having the side of the ruler stick on the frame makes your lines realy good that will avoid accidentally hitting your wrist.
not everyone who can do detailed work like this, you are the person I just saw who can do that perfectly
Wow. Artistic af!! I'd absolutely LOVE to have that stipple job on my Glock 19.
i think the "17x" is a great idea, ive thought the same thing about concealment. sure a shorter slide may make sitting down slightly more comfortable but that all goes out the window with a fullsize light. The grip is what prints so bad though, while a full length slide might look a little goofy with a compact grip, i think its more practical than the 19x for concealment.
i just got into stippling over the weekend and went totally overboard and stippled all my poly pistols, i learned a lot. i think ill end up with one of those wood carvers too. Trying to use the round cutting bit on the dremel for a boarder is hard and leaves a rougher look, i tried that end ended up going back around the boarder with my wood burner which, im sure as you know, is very hard to keep from melting too far outside the boarder.
thanks for the good tips brother !
Wow man thanks! Exactly what I needed to see. I freehanded my own brand new G45 Gen 5 and totally blew it. It is all in the prep. Thanks brother
"If you don't like that, you just don't like guns" 100% agree with this. I was planning on doing a simple stipple but I might just have to get fancy after seeing this. Thank you for the video.
“Now if you don’t like that, you don’t like guns!!!” 🔥 🔥 🔥 damn skippy there partner, I agree!
Wow! That looks perfect! No idea how you can do that and not goof it up! You’re a true artist!
In 2010 or 11 I stippled my Glock 23. Back then we could buy and sell guns on Facebook groups. I posted it up for sale and got a dozen messages about who stippled and how much. And it was a basic job, just a fine point stipple. People lined up to drop their guns off to me at $100 a pop. Never did anything I did look as good as this. I did probably 30 before I got tired of it. Had I had your skill, I might have kept it up. Great work
I’m gonna go for it! Great how-too video. Sure u helped a lot of people and I hope u even got some revenue outta this man! I’m sure u helped lots of people
Awsome job I personally like the way guns look hand stippled I would really be interested in having you work on mine
I would be glad to! You can find my contact info in the description
“If you don’t like that, you just don’t like guns.” I died laughing. Very true sir. Great video.
Wow! That looks awesome. Excellent job.
4 years after it still looks narley!! Good work bro I'm gonna add your techniques to my arsenal..
I appreciate it!
only three things you need to do to a brand new glock 19. night sights, magwell extension and a knuckle cut. you sir have by far the best free hand work i have scene yet. otherwise i would send my frame to agency and leave it to the laser to do my cuts
I know this is an old video but if you still have that first gun you did it would be cool to see someone fixing a bad stipple
job.
Your technique has gotten a lot better brother, solid work! Stippling's all about repetition and taking it slow...
WOW - that was sooo satisfying to watch! Thanks for posting, Tristar Customs. I'd be interested to see a SIG stippling video - since their grips are removable. Good job, guys.
Boomhower stipling incorporated: “when you do that last part it is so satisfactory ...o yea...”
Alvin Ray man if you had made this comment about two months earlier I would have made my new business name “Boomhower Stippling Inc” 😂
@@tristarcustoms77"hey tristar man, hdleorhejwldoej ill tell you what man , gskeorhegwnelfoejeh dang beautiful glock man. Hduroehwgidieheje8eje really be dang proud of that"
Sorry for the bad impersonation of what i like to call "boomhower noises" but to someone from europe that's about what he sounds like
@@tristarcustoms77 how much for a similar stipling job like this?
Just started doing this myself and it’s great to go back to these videos for tips
I think this is a great stippling job, it takes a lot of patience, and precision.
The dremel 2050 stylo does not go crazy when in a bind it shuts itself off and is the best dremel I've used because it is about the size of the flex shaft tool with the motor and all inside.
Damn what a difference in 11 months man.
You're so much better now on the borders
J. Ward I’m glad you took notice!
Nice job, I did my hard hat for practice.. it came out nice..you have to have A LOT OF PATIENTS..
Earned a subscriber and potential customer, now trying to decide if I want a permanent grip like this
Dude awesome video and work!! This is exactly the stippling I want on my G23. Your work looks really clean and professional man..
Des Anderson thank you. I certainly appreciate it.
It looked to me like a nice silicone rubber pad to set your frame on would be helpful. Keep it from slidin around, and you probably wouldn't have to have your hand in harm's way.
Just a thought...
Stipple job looks GREAT!
Can you post the model of the flex cut tool and the Micro Grinder--I have nothing but time and an extra Ar-15 grip---too broke to have a prof do this...ur work looks great
I bet you could make a simple little leather "glove" to protect your hand and wrist while using that gouge. Sew a thumb loop and have it go down your wrist and button down there. Use a heavy leather in the most likely places to get hit and then harden it, I'm not completely familiar with that process but I think it is pretty simple. I would suggest an actual glove but I hate limiting my fingers when doing stuff like this.
Do you end up going back around the border after stippling to clean it up? That little tool is a great idea, much better than trying to use a rotary tool and keep a straight line. Also how do you do the finger ledge? I've only ever seen people use a mill to do those
I do like your "weave" pattern way better than others I've seen who use the fine tip wood burners and just make a mess of dots. I mean, those do look "OK" and Im sure they are functional, but your stippling is functional and aesthetically pleasing. Very nice.
Hey, just out of curiousity, you ever done this to a Walther PPS-2? Wondering if you have any observations on the polymer they use over at Walther (harder or easier to burn, look good? etc...) I might have to give this a try! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with the PPS-2 or any other Walthers
I think it came out "Alright, alright, alright". Great job! lol
That’s great. I’ve been wanting to start myself and this video really helped me have a better understanding of design
You do beautiful work...and really for not much money.
Take care,
Be safe.
I love thanks for the tips Bruf
I will do a assassin’s creed logo and your style awesome video
Beautiful work, buddy!!! Wish my P30 looked like this!!!
That turned out way better than I expected. Well done.
I m usually very critical of others work, but I can't find anything negative about this. You have a great attitude, you don't bs, and you do great work. Have a great day/night, and thanks for sharing.
greg king thanks man I appreciate that. I try to keep it real.
This guy is kold forreal. God bless Bro!!
Thanks brother! God bless!
Very cool video man!! Im about to do a little finger pads on a little carry piece. Just got the soldering iron in mail. How hot should i make it ? Think it starts at around 200 degrees and up
Turn it all the way up
@@tristarcustoms77 ok 👍
Herringbone-basketweave design is out of this world.
I love it lmao you didn’t mess up anything way better than a stock Glock
One word. BEAUTIFUL!
Best stippling video on UA-cam. 👌👍
That’s a much appreciated comment sir!
I’ve been doing my borders using the back ,sides,top and top corners of a razor blade. Scrape shaving and dragging a little at a time.
Good job. A proper grip is the most important step in sending a bullet downrange.
That double weave looking sick!!🔥🔥🔥👍🇵🇷
Thanks man!
I wonder if you started on the back of the grip, or under the trigger guard, rather than the side, would the pattern be more exact and precise at the finish. just noticed how the pattern got a little wonky at the end. Beautiful job regardless.
The Rav Gaming I considered doing that for a long time. But since the frame starts to curve sooner if you start the the backstrap or under the trigger guard it actually makes it harder to keep the pattern consistent. This is one of the earliest weaves I did. After doing dozens of them, I still do one side at a time and you can’t tell where the pattern begins or ends in most cases.
Amazing work. But I have a couple of questions. Did you only use the 1.5mm gouge on that finished border or did you step up in size off camera? Or does doing multiple passes with the 1.5mm get it to thicken up the boarder like yours ended up looking at the end?
shinobi9922 I only use the 1.5mm gouge in the entire process. And I should have been more clear in the video but multiple passes isn’t necessary if you get the depth correct. And I believe the ending border looks thicker because it’s not just a line there by itself after the stippling.
Do you know by chance if your using the deep or shallow 1.5mm gouge?
@@Curtissenyitkoshallow 1.5
I don’t normally like stippled Glocks but that looks sweet. Nice job man.
Thanks my man!
You are an artist.......two thumbs up..!
Is what's really cool about your work is you dont have to spend a lot of money to get it done just time. You already have the right tools so the profit and upside for your time is all cash in the bank. I know I speak for a LOT of fellow fellas is n9body appreciates hand work and time and precision more then someone who knows what it takes to do all that work and know it's well worth the price!
Really artistic and functional!!! Congrats!!!!
Hey brother I really enjoyed your video. It’s always nice to watch people that take pride in their work. If I ever decide to “pull the trigger” on a stipple job I’ll get in touch. What’s the best way to get in touch with you? Also do you have any pictures or videos of your undercuts?
Roman Harris thanks brother I appreciate it! Best way to contact me is to message me on Facebook or Instagram @CumberlandGapTactical or email me at cumberlandgaptactical@gmail.com. Also if you check out my instagram or Facebook page you see more undercut stuff.
My wife has this pattern on her G43. Nice video.
That look friggin beautiful and makes me want to do it to mine...but I need to do some practice on other plastics before I try 1st time on my glock. Awesome job brother and I'm sure your buddy was more than happy. How much does it cost to have that done if I was afraid to do it myswlf?myself?
Thanks for the comment. You can reach me by Facebook, Instagram or email. All the info is in the description. I’ll be glad to send you a price and information list
@@tristarcustoms77 I will do that..I would like to see a price list of things you can do. I have a glock 19x and a Canik TP9SFX but I'm leaning toward the glock. So yeah I will look you up and you can send ke whatever you can and see what we can do. I appreciate it
This pattern is AWESOME.
Best stippling job I've seen. Wish you could do my 21
stephen blakely I can do your 21. Send it in lol
for a min I thought you was gonna mess it up but man that came out very nice 👌🏽
That basket weave is slick!
Thanks man!
“ you don’t like that, you just don’t like guns” “or art” 😂 Agree sir agree!
Corsica flag with two sharp crosses with that shatter glass pattern w/ the double undercut would look good 💯
you should make a jig or a template out a beer can to lay the stippling clean and precise.
Great Video and that turned out Badass bro! I have wanted to try this for so long, and after watching your video I think I have built up enough courage to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing.
95cgonzo thanks man. That was the goal. I hope yours turns out great
Best video yet, thanks bud.
Mine didn't come out anything like this I even used the otd waffle tip which seems to go too deep imo
Looks a quite pro. May i ask, that did you sand it after stippling?
I did not
@@tristarcustoms77 ok
great video on the basics of stippling
Awesome video brother, thanks for sharing🤙
Nice job... but I gotta ask what's the most aggressive/roughest pattern u have available I'm considering buying a Glock 34 for 3-gunning so it won't be a ccw gun so I'm not concerned how rough it will be
Delmar Robins I can make any of my patterns more or less aggressive. However the most naturally aggressive two that I have are Sprinkles and Strike Out
@@tristarcustoms77 ok I was just inquiring
Trust the process hell of a good job man
Talented, Meticulous work. Awesome tutorial.
Do you do work on a p80 frame ? It's the glock 19 gen 3 p80 version? Love your work an would love if you can do that same design on it? Great work sir
Absolutely. Shoot me a message on Instagram or Facebook. Or email Tristarcustoms.tn@gmail.com
What was the temp outdoors? Cuz if P Diddy was bawlz deep at the same time it means the gun was compromised
You’re great artist and this is awesome
Bob Ross of stippling. Nuff said.
Dayum, that looks fine. Going to practice and put some stippling on my HW97kt air rifle.
Thank you, thank you, for not using one of those loud over the top cheesy intros. to your video!
Stippling looks really cool, but is it practical? Can you compare how it feels to anything? I don’t know if I should go with stippling or just a set of talon grips..
Caleb Smithwick talon grips wear out stippling doesn’t, and I guess it depends on what style stippling (probably not) but stippling has way more grip to it
TheAmericanGuy interesting. Thank you.
Looks good brother! Good luck to you and your family.
Thanks man!
get with boogeyman customs for the slide work. you cant beat their prices.
This is really impressive work. Thanks for the demonstration.
Thank you!
Very cool tutorial. I like the pattern. How much do you charge for that?
Nice work, love the look of the basket weave👍🏻👍🏻
Fordman thank you!
Very nice work my friend. I do like the pattern you used too. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job, little worried when you first started but it ended up looking great 👍🏼
Awesome video and great tips, just one question, how do you stipple near a border you made when you know the tip will ruin your border?
There’s a little trick to it but most just be real careful. And if you get into the plborder you can always cut it out as long as you didn’t stipple into it real deep
Wow that's really nice work man, I love that weave pattern
dantxxl Thanks man I appreciate it
Bro thanks so much. Please come.back to making videos
I wish I could sit with you all day buddy love the way you explain I could learn a lot from you. Thank you for this video! Have a blessed day when you read this!
Thanks man! I’m pretty sure this is the best UA-cam comment I’ve ever received! You’re the man!
.....and seeing it come to completion is just........highly..........satisfactory. 31:15 The way you said that was so honest that it made me laugh.
Awesome work! Price isn't bad either!
Cajun PipeSmoker thank you!
