I melted my gun!

One tiny dot at a time... :D

It's almost as 'grippy' to the hand as the stick-on sandpaper, but dosen't catch on fabric as easily.

Well that's certainly a first for me, haha Glad you like it!

Those must have been some fumes!

It's weird, but in a cool sort of way. What did you use?

I'm thinking it would look cool also if you did it in some type of design. Like say the glock "G" on a glock or the trident on a Beretta...

Looks like the surface of the moon.

That is really cool. you may have started a new trend! what did you use, and how did you do it? it would be cool to do some designs, like people do with regular grips for like a 1911 or something.

I love it! How long did it really take? I am guessing at leas 20 hours.

Nice work. Soldering iron?

Nice job, Love to do that on my XD

copy cat. haha

thats pretty cool, howd you doit?

can be described as a sand blast texture.

however, you most likely destroyed what little factory warranty you had.

you missed a spot

Looks good. I'd hate to think how tedious it must have been to do.

Wow, sure glad I have a carton of Luckies and the DVD box set of Captain Kangaroo, otherwise I might have to do that to my Steyr M40A1:neener:

Looks good!

J.B.

That is kinda cool looking. I'm with everyone else on this, how did you do it? looks like it took a long time to do.

however, you most likely destroyed what little factory warranty you had.

no he didnt.

huh. interesting.

Will those little holes get all filled with dirt and hand spooge and sweat and stuff? I would be interested in how easy it is to clean after hard use.

Thanks guys!

I used a soldering iron with a tip that I filed to a really sharp point.

It took about 4.5 hrs.

A stiff bristled toothbrush with some Hoppe's followed by a blast of compressed air will clean it right up.


-Tim S.

compressed air will clean it right up

Wear goggles, not glasses.

DAMHIK

Smitty, that looks great! I didn't even recognize the gun at first!

I did my glock with a soldering iron, and later did it with a chisel tip on a woodburning pen. Also did the stock on my Mossberg 590.

And yes, it is easy cleaned with compressed air.

Turned out Great... I am impressed. Doesnt even look like the same gun.

I have a soldering iron right here on my desk. Makes me wish I still had my XD-M.

Looks very nice!

-Matt

Very nice

Interesting..LOL Yes you would void the warranty..Any modifying to a firearm will void a warranty.Besides the point really though..I can see where in a wet environment this might be useful..

Have to say when I first saw the thread title I was figuring melted as in to close to a camp fire or something like that..Ha ha..

Nice job of stippling.
I've done it to a few of mine also.
