Stippling > or = RTF2?

[Steady Glock]

I'm looking into stippling as an option for a new Glock 30 that I plan to purchase very soon. I presently have a Glock 17 RTF2 and found the grip to be absolutely outstanding, so much so that I'm hesitant to purchase any model that doesn't offer RTF2. Since the G30 doesn't offer RTF2, I'm looking into alternative grip enhancement. Talon is a possibility, but I'm hoping to get the G30 in OD, and the black Talon / skateboard tape looks kinda crappy against the OD color. My question to those in the know is this: how closely does stippling replicate the texture of RTF2? Please let me know. Thanks!

Best,

Steady

I don't think it really "replicates" the RTF2 texture at all. Its a totally different texture, but still serves the same purpose.

Stippling seems "softer". I'd recommend it over the abrasive RTF2.

OK, that helps quite a bit. I guess I'll need to get my hands on one to get a feel of it. Is stippling something that can only be done by hand? I'm looking at having Nash Gunwerx take care of it, I just wondered how it's done.

Thanks for the info.

AFAIK, stippling is only done by hand. I know that's how Cory of Nash Gunwerx does it. He did my Glock 19.

Where are you in the State? I'm on Indy's south side and would be glad to let you try mine.

Wow, that's really kind of you. I'd like to try it out sometime for sure. I'm in So. Indiana, and split my time between New Albany / Floyd County. I'm also up in Indy from time to time, and would be more than willing to make a trip up there to get a feel of the stippling. I'll send you a PM and we can discuss further from there. Thanks!

Stippling is the way to go, and I dont even like Glocks.

But ya from the ones ive handled I greatly prefer the stipple.

I'm one of the "odd" people on this issue. I love the RTF2 Glock's and plan on buying one after the first of the year.

I like the over all feel and got to shot one of the G17's that our glock rep. over this fall. I put out 100 rounds down range and loved it.

I just bought a G19 RTF. I love it!!!! Unfortuneatly I have not spent much time behind the trigger of a Stippled version.

The RTF feels great and grips the hell out of my Hatch gloves! I doubt from what I have experienced this far that the stippling will do the same.

I prefer stippling, the RTF finish feels prickly. Not what you want grinding in to your side if you carry IWB without an undershirt.
