stipple for competition

[mikey176293]

Hey all I wanted to get some advice from you that have a stipple job by mike (olyeller) or anybody else. I want one that grips as good as grip tape if not better. These are the ones I have it narrowed down to. Thoughts? comments?[Broken External Image][Broken External Image][Broken External Image][Broken External Image][Broken External Image][Broken External Image]

backstrap of the 4th pic, with the frame of the 5th. Might not match, but its the best Ive found.
That backstrap is the one Phil Strader uses.

in IDPA - I think your M&P is classified for SSP (double action, double action only, or safe action, example Glocks). If you 'stiple' you wil move to Enhanced Service Pistol (ESP-single action pistols) and run with 1911s.

You can use grip tape and stay in SSP and run with glocks and similar guns.

in SSP, you have safe action which is described as when the trigger is pulled, the striker is cocked and then released to strike the cartridge (primer). so a longer trigger pull than a 1911 and thus conceiveably slower.

thanks guys! This decision has been giving me anxiety cause its not like sights where you can just swap them again!

for IDPA, the backstrap can be stippled, but not the frame.

As for shooting an M&P with the 1911's in ESP; I have a little thing on the wall that says 2010 IDPA nationals, 3rd Expert, ESP division

My little 4.25" M&P nine beat a whole lot of 1911's and 5" M&P's.

Ill never shoot ssp with a bare frame or even grip tape; its plenty competitive in esp.

nice all shooter skill....And this 4.25" is stippled? do you have a pic of which grip you used? or was it one that you mentioned in my first msg with the vertical lines on the backstrap?

We're talking about only the removable backstraps, like on the M&P and the Gen 4 Glocks.

How many different places is this conversation happening?

Well, let's post the link(s) to the other one(s).

Sometime the newbie's don't know how to use the search function.

Other times they just don't know, which is why they ask.That's a good thing because it's real tough to undo stippling on the grip.

I was referring to an entirely different forum. Mikey PM me on this forum, or the other one, and if you are going to be at a match I am at, you are welcome to handle a couple of the guns mike has done for me and compare stippling styles and see what you like.
