Xfactor Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Now that I finally got my new M&P Pro, I'm thinking of stippling the grip insert and front strap myself. From what I understand, it just requires a soldering iron, a steady hand, and a little patience... but for those that have done it successfully already, I'd really appreciate any tips/advice/words of caution, etc. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The best technique for the money is to send it to Dan Burwell and have him do it. It's fairly cheap and he does it for a living. www.burwellgunsmithing.com He's located in Duncansville, PA. STI grips are $100, the M&P receiver is the gun. JMHO.

ChrisStock Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 xfactor, look at the link that homie provided..it's a great starting point. This IS something you can do yourself. I bought a pair of spare inserts from Speed Shooter Specialties to practice on, so even if I destroy them while learning, I'm only out $3 per insert. Slow and steady, and low heat on the iron. It CAN be done. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvc40jim Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Try Get'nGrip jim@getngrip.com or DVCJim on this forum Dang Fred did you get me confused???? dvc40jim and getngrip are not one in the same. Just the same as a first project I would not work it on a frame like the M&P. STI grips can be fixed or replaced pretty easily but the whole frame is another story. No one has been doing the grip reductions, stippling or enhancements for longer than we have so don't hesitate to give me a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 small grip inserts that I know I'll never use, so I was thinking of giving it a shot on those... and if they come out good, I'd move on to the large inserts. I would only try it on my front strap if things went REALLY well! If things don't go well, I'll send it off to one of the experts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
