I love a good ghetto stippling thread.

@bsimardjr has a few lasers. I don't know if he has used them for stippling however I'm sure he will share his thoughts on the subject.

1:6? way to flex.

I could 2:1 and it would still barely cover the front of the trigger guard.

I have a few lasers, are you looking to buy one to do it yourself? I have not tried stippling with mine yet.

Can a person turn down the laser and use it to make a tattoo?

Eddie Coyle may have some advise.

I'm looking at getting one in the future. Been waiting for the new Commarker B6 60w MOPA to hit kickstarter. I have zero laser experience, I'm only going with this one from all of the research I've been doing.

No, but you could brand/burn someone with it. Not my kink, but I won't yuck your yum.

Check out Talon Wraps. Work well and non-permanent. I have them on most of my glocks. Diff textures available.

So i have some stair tape and talon grips on some of my guns.

But if look at like a kimber mako or a cr920 where your support thumb rests i can never find anything like what's on those guns

But i want them on my sig macros lol

I saw Bob last night and asked him about this. He does have a laser that can be used for stippling. That said he has never done it and really has no interest in learning on someone else's firearm.

I keep reading like you need a fiber laser...but i feel like that would be for slide work

Idk i may just grab a sig frame and a cheap one and see

Stock image I just grabbed from google, arrow added. Yeah, I could see lazer engraving, I don't see other good way to do that. Soldering iron's gonna make a mess.

I honestly got the feeling he wasn't interested. He has a few lasers and he is trying to get a business up and running. I believe he is primarily interested in cranking out orders that consist of a lot of pieces. He did all the NES travel coffee mugs and he also did a batch of similar ones for WSA. The first batch he did for WSA sold out in a few days and know we ordered like 50 more. He did some work engraving trophies/plaques for WSA and I'm trying to hook him up to do all the trophies for a big IDPA match in the fall.

No, I don't want to try it myself - I'm pretty sure I'd trash a perfectly good frame. But - that's me, not necessarily you.

I'm pretty good at some mechanical things, not so good at others.
