It looks decent and works great (like in that pic, except its on a glock).

Its a gatling 22, which is apparently legal.

I've never even considered...what WOULD the legalities be on a modern-made gatling gun? Common sense, to me, would say that each click with the crank is a 'trigger pull' and it would therefore not be illegal. But if that were the case, surely people would be producing and selling them. For the lulz.

And that stippling makes baby jesus cry. Really, I can't even call that stippling. Those are more like scallops...and scallops need regularity to look right.

Stippling is further down the page.

At least, I think it is. According to GIS results, 'stippling' may be a modern synonym for 'ruining.' Dear god...who would pay you to do this?

Holy shit, finally! Some non-AR15 type rifles.

Keep it coming!

Haha. Both Rifles are great. The SCAR 17s is an amazing rifle. However, I love my M1 Garand the most. For some reason it's just a joy to fire. Puts a smile on my face every time I hear the "ping"

 

[Merad]

Since when? Can you show me a single case that looks like that?

Since always. /r/reloading probably gets questions every 2 weeks from someone asking if they've ruined their loads because they can see a tiny bulge at the base of the bullet. http://gunbot.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/wp_000151.jpg

Thought I'd some of the shorties for posterity.

Ruger Blackhawk .357, Colt King Cobra .357, S&W 38 Special, H&R .22, Browning .22 Semi, Thomson Center Arms Contender, .223 barrel and a Paccy grip for weight one a .22 barrel for competition shooting, but not been used in ages.

I think my personal favorite that old King Cobra myself.

 

[marvdmartian]

Id that actually real?

Yup!

You can find Youtube videos of them being fired, too. :thumbsup:

A bulge at the base isn't a taper at the crown, those are at opposite ends what I have is entirely different

FFS. You are talking about something totally different. Reread my original comment.

 

[Phanuel]

who would pay you to do this?

Stippling refers to any intentional deforming of the polymer in order to make it tackier for more positive grip. Polymer frames are notoriously slick prior to the aggressive job that Glock finally did from the factory on the Gen4s.

I need to buy a new kit and get to work on my M&P again.

FFS indeed, you were the one going off topic talking about bulges, it was my mistake for continuing it since that wasn't at all the situation

Tulipwood, hell yeah. These are nicer than I thought they would be.

They look awesome - great job. Are you thinking about knurling them or doing anything else in terms of enhancing grip?

Haha, did you not just read his intense hatred and complete lack of understanding about why people stipple their plastic pistols?

Um, lack of understanding? Lack of understanding for why anyone would be dumb enough to ruin the value of a polymer-framed gun and not even bother doing a good job of it, yeah.

FYI, stippling started with wood, and was done with a hammer and a nail, or some other pointy object. Past that, I've seen it (and done it) on plastic grips with a hot iron. As in, removable grips, that is.

Doing it to a non-replaceable serialed polymer frame is fucking dumb, sorry. Past that, if you think the execution of the 'stippling' in the link I posted is not horrible...well, you're probably butthurt because your gun(s) look similar. Sorry for your loss.

Don Vito- I didn't make those, unfortunately. I considered it, especially since I could make the backstrap to fit my hand. But I didn't have it in me to devote the time to another set, so I paid the $65 and got Hogues. I did specifically get the smooth ones so I could modify them if I so desired, though. I'll probably sand them a bit and oil them. The waxed finish doesn't give the grain any 'pop.'

They'll stay smooth, though. The only place I like any roughness is on the front of the grip.

It is their gun and their money....I say whatever works for ya.

It's also done on metal to, although with less aggressive texturing.

 

[MongGrel]

Usually called knurling amongst the toolmaker & diemaker types more or less.

Not sure if that only applies to round parts though.

This is how I picture you guys

To me, knurling is the 'diamond' (more 'pyramidal,' if that's a word) texture like you find on tools. I don't see that on guns much- usually only on high-end custom stuff where I assumed it was machined onto it. The person that posted a custom 1911 recently had it on their frame instead of serrations, I think.

And really, people can obviously do whatever they want; I just resented the earlier implication that I was somehow not 'in the know' or something because I thought irreparable melting of a poly frame was silly. IMO quality grip tape feels better and can always be pulled off. And I don't find the need for the super-agressive textures. Older Glocks always seemed fine to me. I also like the fine texture on H&K's a lot (which they've moved away from, I think).

I might stipple the backstrap on those Hogues. Unsure. I think I could make it look nice, but I'd rather not find out I'm wrong by fucking it up.

On guns that kind of pattern is called checkering. Commonly done on the front strap and mainspring housing of handguns, especially 1911s.

Fine, whatever, agree to completely disagree. The rest of us will keep stippling our poly frames since it's greater friction than just tape.

 

[NutBucket]

Or just buy a gun that has already has a properly textured grip...or is that too easy?

 

[phucheneh]

FINE, THAT'S COOL, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AND I WILL STILL LOVE YOU, GODDAMMIT!

I WISH I COULD QUIT YOU, HEATH LEDGER. (Not a death threat, you're just not Gyllenhaal material.)

I'm gonna go find some nails and start spite-stippling my grips.

FFS...to each his/her own, I love ya'll, now love me damn it
