Damn it! That makes me want to send my Shield to him also...haha I currently have 2 of his masterpieces, waiting on 1 and have another in line for him hopefully. Glocks NEED his work a lot more than the M&P's though...haha

Need to do more of it.

Spare time is just something I don't get much of.

Yeah, he showed it off a week or so ago. Nice job on it.

My EDC is a Shield as well. .40.

Why spend the money when you can do yourself and it will cost a lot less money. maybe $10-15 bucks. I did my Shield and it turn out good if not better then a professional. Save the money and buy extra ammo to feed the gun. Just my 2-cents and I know that it don't mean nothing!

I've seen a lot of shitty, shitty home done stippling jobs. Some people just don't have the patience or knack for doing it.

You have to practice on something similar to your gun to get the right pattern down and have a lot of patience when working on your gun. It took me two weeks an hour each day to be able to feel comfortable with doing my own gun.

Not everybody wants to sit down and work on a frame for hours on end.

The shield above has around 8-9 hours in it. It's not just stippling. There is hours of shaping and grinding before the iron ever gets turned on.

That's a pretty cool little do - hickey for holding the firearm you have there Slo. Where'd you get it? And what size tip are you using in your iron? Setting?

Don't know why I ask, I will probably never have the free time to do anything with it.

Apex makes it. Handy at times, fits all S&W and flock auto's.

I use a very fine point. Think sharpened pencil.
