Default Hand stippling - part 1

Unfortunately Brownells discontinued their three punch metal stippling set a number of years ago. The set #080-717-000 consisted of a chisel, 60* punch, and 80* punch. I used them to stipple a Colt MKIV Series 80, FN HBi-Power MKIII, and FM M90 Detective.

Never having done this type of work I obtained some scrap frames and slides from cut up police confiscations and practiced. Once I felt I had developed the requisite skills I moved on to my guns. Here's the results:

First, the Colt

Dave,

All the stippling was done back in the 1995 time frame.

Shadow,

Not on line where they can be linked here. Best shot here showing the resultant texture mix of the three punches is that rear quarter shot of the Browning Hi-Power.

Your not using the right tools......the meat tenderizer is the right tool for the job.
