My stippled G19, by Nash Gunwerx (pics)

[esrice]

As most people here already know, I've been dying to have my 3rd generation Glock 19 stippled and those silly finger grooves removed. I was impressed with Cory's other work I'd seen, so I saved up my pennies and nickels.

I dropped off the 19 last night at 9pm. Cory stopped by my work today at 4pm and delivered the finshed product! I couldn't believe it!!

The craftsmanship speaks for itself, so on with the pictures. . .

I haven't had any range time with it yet, but I will be sure to post when I do.

The grip is awesome. Its got a very tacky feeling to it, without being sharp or too abrasive. The grip actually seems reduced, as the finger grooves don't do funny things to my fingers anymore.

Interesting. I'll need to feel her up the next time I see you.

Looks great! I did basically the same thing to my 19, and it shoots much better for me

impressive

Looks good, i will have to keep this in mind if i get the 26....

SWEET!

Very nice. I would like to get my 26 stippled by Cory. I don't think I will remove the finger grooves on the 26, with my grip extention I think they work alright with the sub compact. But for G19 it would be great. I'm going to start saving.

I think a couple friends of mine have had their guns done by him. His work is impressive, as is his turnaround time. Hard to believe that's all done by hand!

Cory was explaining his technique to me, how he has a certain pattern, so that the finished product doesn't look like there is a pattern. Very specific.

Half the fun is getting to chat with Cory. I also got to play with his sniper rifle and 10.5" RRA entry rifle. And I got to meet Steve Jenkins (j1s116) who was picking up a newly refinished Sig P6 slide,which looked awesome.

Cory is the man. Great guy and excellent work! Glock looks excellent Evan... Enjoy!

i got a chance to handle this pistol today. very nice. i'd have to run some drills, wet hands, gloves to know for sure, but looks like a useful upgrade. getting rid of the finger bumps felt good. nice pistol, evan.

Nice job on the grip. I really liked the way it felt.



BTW I keep washing my hands but I can seem to make it go away!!!

Obijohn, I heard you suggest a hand full of Corn Huskers to see how the gun would handle while your hands are covered in blood.

Any preferred method of removing said Corn Huskers from the grip afterwards?

Or blood, for that matter. Seems like the stippling would be hard to clean.

Strip the frame and stick it in the dishwasher, problem solved. But if your Glock got covered in blood for any reason, cleaning it would probably be the least of your worries.

I've been thinking about getting my G23 chopped down to take G27 mags. I looked at the Nash website and didn't see anything about chop jobs.. does anyone know if he does those? Dropping my pistol off in Indy would be much easier than shipping it to Bowie.

i was sort of half joking, but i've done similar things just to check. maybe not to simulate blood, but...

shooter521's suggestion had merit, but i just used warm water and dish soap. with a small brush. then i cleaned and lubed like normal as it was a 1911 frame. i did a similar thing to a norinco i was building using a center punch and a small hammer. similar look, but was way too sharp until i broke the edges of the "stipples" with some 400 grit. sadly, the pistol has a new home, but it turned out pretty well.

I know he does the chop job, but I don't know what his prices are for that.

Just PM phylodog and ask him.
