How did stippling go from the most laughable retarded thing one could do to their weapon, akin to stancing your vehicles tires or lowering it till it touches the street, to being one of the must have must do kind of mods for a firearm?
>>34154363
turns out those laughable retarded things have a purpose other than to trigger you
Seems pretty faggity to me, don't most guns have checkering nowadays?
>>34154363
Simple. Most people who own gun do not carry them and will never have to draw them in anger. They have the luxury of being blissfully ignorant of the impracticality of their weapons.

A little bit of fine checking is OK. It's when they go full cheese grater that it becomes impractical because it makes the pistol painful to hold. Finger grooves are even worse because they make the pistol awkward to grab in a hurry. Slip on grips tend to slip over the mag release.

the people who sucked at it got gud the costly way overtime.

What the fuck are you talking about. It's been popular in competition for decades. Old race 1911s will make your hands bleed.

Finger grooves make everything worse.

They all suck when you add finger grooves. That said (keep in mind I don't own a stippled anything), I do see merit in "cheese grater" grips on carry guns. I could care less if it sucks to shoot, in a draw or die situation I'd rather have everything possible working towards that thing staying firmly in my grip.
That said I also have hand tremors so it may just be me.

Pick up a smooth grip gun and have someone try to wrestle it from your grip.
Now pick up a stippled or checkered gun and have that same person try to wrestle it from your grip.

>>34154562
Just use grip tape.

>Old race 1911s will make your hands bleed.
Which is exactly why stippling is a bad idea.
>>34154558
When the flag flies and you draw for blood, your grip on that pistol will be tighter than a virgin who washed her cunt with alum. You won't need any cheese grater stippling. Fine checkering is fine though. It looks classy and adds a bit of extra security.
>>34154363
If they are so good why don't the come from the factory like that?
>>34154619
some of them do
1911s with 20 LPI checkering
Glock RTF
now if you're asking why don't they look like the soldering iron specials it's because not everyone wants their gun to be like that. let them add to it if they want. let them leave it if they don't.
>>34154535
If stippling hurts your hands, you need to man up.
Jesus, how embarrassing.
>>34154630
I mean why would you do OPs shit when comercial and probably better and cheaper alternatives exists? It just feels like trying too hard
>>34154635
Tools were made for man, and not man for tools. If texture hurts your hand, you need better texture. 30 LPI checking is the gold standard.
>>34154569
But that makes the grip thicc
>>34154891
Are you stoned? I've put grip tape on two pistols. Negligible increase in thickness.
>>34154363
>stippling
>>34154363
They only make sense when the weapons OEM checkering or gripping is inadequate.

>tripshitting on /k/
Fuck when will summer end.
>>34154363
It didn't. Plastic fags are still getting a lesser product.
Everyone else just swaps out grip panels.
>>34154555
seems pretty obvious that you never shot a gun.
T. noguns faggot.
>>34154363
Numales need all that stripling because no gripstrength cuz AIDZ and vegan diet and mall ninjas with thick chink tactical gloves gives them no purchase.
>>34154562
Enjoy having the flesh ripped from you hands when he gives it a good yank.

Says the guy who probably deserves to be called summer more than zed or kiwi
>>34158053
Fuck off Kiwi. Literally the worst trip.
>>34154363
There were some slavic sharp shooters in the 80s that used duct tape on their rifle and pistol grips. They were doing so well, it was banned.
>>34154635
I thought I was the only one who missed the rtf2 glocks. Never shoulda sold that thing.
>>34154603
Lose the fedora and get into the right century, sperg.
>>34159527
r u trollin or for realz?
>>34154363
That stippling makes me very uncomfortable.
>>34159527
For realz. But the only thing stopping me from trying it to verify if it really is that good for grip, is that i'll be judged or possibly mocked at the range. If you have a private range, you should try it and report back.

literally what.
