Here you go: (The Rules)

40.0 THE STOCK GLOCK
AND MODIFICATIONS
40.10 Stock GLOCK Philosophy. It is our intention to
keep Amateur-Stock and Master-Stock divisions on
a “level playing field” by ensuring the use of stock
GLOCK firearms in all divisions except for the Unlimited
division. We want to avoid an equipment
race in our sport and will not allow firearm modifications
that provide an artificial and mechanical competitive
advantage. The goal is to test individual skill
where everyone is using comparable equipment.
40.20 Stock GLOCK Definition. For the Amateur-Civilian,
Amateur-Guardian, Amateur or Master-Subcompact,
Amateur or Master-Heavy Metal, Amateur or Master-
Competition, Amateur or Master-MajorSubcompact
and Amateur and Master-Master Stock divisions:
GLOCK FIREARMS ARE CONSIDERED
TO BE “STOCK” IF ALL FIREARM COMPONENTS
ARE OR EVER HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE
FROM GLOCK, INC. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE
SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED BELOW.
If any component is not or has never been available
from GLOCK, Inc. or if the firearm has been physically
modified except as otherwise specifically noted
below, it is not “stock” and is therefore restricted to
use in the Amateur or Master-Unlimited division only.
40.30 Allowable Modifications to “Stock”
• “Hogue Grip”-type sleeves, “A-Grip” panels, “skateboard
tape” or other grip-enhancing materials that do
not materially alter the function of the stock firearm
• Slide and barrel stripping and/or refinishing
• Pearce Grip, Inc. grip extenders only on G26, G27,
G29, G30, G33, G36 and G39 magazines
• Aftermarket replacement non-metallic base plates on
magazines
• Post and notch sights (“patridge” sights) excluding
any sight requiring slide modifications. Please note
that fiber-optic and “express” sights are approved.
You may use any combination of GLOCK-produced
firearms parts that do not result in a significant competitive
advantage in the Stock divisions and that are,
in the sole opinion of the match armorer, safe to utilize
But, check out the last item under "illegal":
40.40 Specific Illegal Modifications in the “Stock” Divisions:
• Any non-post and notch sight. This includes “Ghost
Ring” or laser, electronic and optical sights. Please
note that fiber-optic and express sights are permitted.
• Wrap-around “grip sleeves” on magazines.
• Aftermarket component parts to be used in the
Amateur-Civilian, Amateur-Guardian, Amateur or
Master Subcompact, Amateur or Master Heavy
Metal, Amateur or Master Master-Stock, Amateur or
Master Competition, and Amateur or Master Major-
Subcompact divisions.
• Aftermarket barrels.
• Aftermarket recoil spring guide/recoil reducer assemblies.
• Aftermarket extended slide stop levers.
• Firing pins (modified/aftermarket).
• Connectors (modified/aftermarket).
• Metallic magazine well “funnels” or “slugs”.
• Lights or other barrel weights including GLOCKproduced
light/laser units.
• Aftermarket metallic replacement frames.
• Any modification deemed by the Range Master to
create an unfair competitive advantage
• Non-factory “stippling”. (Stippling that is burned or
cut into the polymer frame)
Sorry but in my opinion you would really need to ask the GSSF people for clarification. My first gut reaction would be that NO you would not be legal because of the "stippling" even though you are covering it up by a legal modification. Ask the "right" people and get the "right" answer.
