Glock Stippling Artist

newq · Oct 5, 2014

I was on Facebook last night informing someone about Glock's frame upgrade program when a user posted some stippling work that he had done. I HATE stippling. I think most stippling jobs look like crap function aside.

This guy was f'n amazing. He had such talent and artistry that I had never seen before. I inquired about having him do one of my pistol frames and he said he could not do it yet but had waiting list of more than 75 people. After speaking with the guy, he is in the process of getting licensed up to start doing this commercially. Take a gander at his work, his name is Zach Wagnon. Follow him on facebook to see more of his work.

like a tattoo for a pistol...some artists are better than others!

It takes AOLT of time and artists hand to do it like that. I have been practicing at home and I can replicate that but the amount of time it takes me I could never make a profit off of it.

That's nice work.

Looks awesome

Too bad for us about the waiting list. I never thought that I would do that but after seeing his work i would reconsider.

As Clandestine mentioned he was practicing on toy guns. I saw on FB someone mention a stippling gun? Gonna have to look that up. Seems like a cool way to personalize a gun although I have never attempted such things.

I was told by a glock armorer stippling the frame will void the warranty.

Yup, but the Glock Armorers I know I wouldn't let field strip my AR.

I do my own stippling on Glocks. Not as nice, but just as functional. It takes a lot of courage and patience to do this stuff.

Try it on ar15 grips first. It's a cheap way to learn.

I too am one that thinks most stipling jobs looked like stepped in dog poop, but that is amazing! I would pay to have the Flag or Molon Labe done to one of mine.

That is really smart. I have a bunch of old plastic pieces laying around.

Also, that flag is so bad ass.

the other thing I've heard is to use the glock mag loaders for practice. never tried any of that myself though. I don't feel it's needed on the gen 4's, at least for grippyness, but stippling would be a nice improvement on the gen 3's.

That is an awesome suggestions Scar. Thanks For the Idea. I'd like to buy you a beer.

As a side note wouldn't it be awesome if there was a buy you a beer function on this site? You click the button and it would paypal somebody a couple bones for great suggestions and help?

That would be too cool.

You can also practice on

Glock mag loaders
Glock tupperware cases
plastic knife handles
Pmags
Rail covers

You can cut out a design on sticky tape, place it on the surface being stippled, stipple arounf it and remove the tape afterwards.

ive taught Crazyal to do it.. He just got done stippling his Tavor's front handguard.

Check out cricut.com

I'm considering getting one of these for similar purposes... it does the hard part for you! Also good to print your pattern on sticky vinyl, then sand blast patterns into almost any surface.

I only stipple areas where my Hand or fingers actually have contact with. More than that, serves no purpose but to grab onto your skin, holster or cover garment.

Stippling owb holsters is also a bad idea. It snags the cover garment and prevents it from flowing over your Ccw rig. Stippling also collects lint and dirt.

Stippling looks great, true artistry shown there.

Haven't felt the need to stipple any of my guns though, even with sweaty/greasy hands haven't had any issue manipulating/maintaining control - guess that's just me...

I too hate stippling, but man that looks excellent. I wonder how many hours go into a single job like that
