So I have Don Williams working on an Alloy BHP. It is pretty basic build.

Hi-Power deluxe trigger job - includes Garthwaite wide trigger, and barstock hammer and sear Hi-Power Reliability package
Bevel magazine well
Fabricate extended thumb safety
Business End Customs Rear Sight
Gold Dot Front sight
Crown barrel at 11 degrees & polish
Cerakote in Elite Series Blackout

It wears black Navidrex thing Micarta grips. I didn't originally spec stippling the front and rear strap. I have done that on other BHPs from Don, Yost and Garthwaite etc.... but I my initial thought was to leave this one with a cleaner look. This sort of a backup to my other Alloy BHP and it might see some carry duty but it certainly won't be a high use pistol. The Yost and the Garthwaite get most of the range use while the current Williams gun gets the most carry time. Thoughts?

Here is a pic of Don stippling.

I am a big fan of stippling cosmetically and function both

I say stipple away

 

[SparkyAZ]

I say stipple if you plan to carry and don't have any holes on that side of your t-shirt...

There is no way I would send a gun off and not get texture.

Stippled HP is the way! I feel for the purists and clean lines. But Grip is king

I find stippling very adequate up to the 9mm level; 45 ACP I want checkering or something like Wilson's X-tac or Brown's snakeskin. Stippling feels a little slippery with the AcP. Love my stippled 38 Super on a 5 inch Colt frame. Subtle, but plenty of grip. On polymer - stippling is fine on 9mm; never shot a polymer 45. On Glocks specifically stipple, or just give me the RTF2 finish and call it done. The Gen 5 is good as it comes - probably putting a lot or stippling guys out of work.

Stippling done correctly is awesome. A job done wrong is a shiOt show

Another vote for stipple. Hi Powers should have came with it from the factory.
