DeltaZero Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 That is absolutely lovely! Well done on that stipple job but! Seriously nice! Did you just use a regular iron or a different head? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 That is absolutely lovely! Well done on that stipple job but! Seriously nice! Did you just use a regular iron or a different head? Heh, thanks man - I just used my old soldering iron I've had kicking around for years - It's quite a sharp point. My G17 I just did a standard job on, but on this one I did the usual loads of tiny dots all over, and then essentially just squiggled lines up and down the sides of the grip just to see how it'd turn out. Definitely looks better than the mess it was in tan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ahh I see! Might give it a go on a pistol grip. Looks fantastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hwagan Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Ahh I see! Might give it a go on a pistol grip. Looks fantastic! It really is easy - Fairly time consuming, but it's well worth it in the end. I've also found the tiny dots from the sharp point give a very grippy surface but the raised edges, being tiny, don't sand your hands down! Thats a lovely stippling job Thanks man On another note, I just received my $22 Safariland clone from ShooterCBgear - I'm utterly blown away by the thing, it's rock solid, everything functions flawlessly, and easily adjustable. Happily takes my HK3 G17 and WE G23, and with a quick tightening of the screw it's just as good a fit for a mate's KSC G19. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Does the Safariland have the suede lining like the real thing? It's one of the my favourite parts of my 6005. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Does the Safariland have the suede lining like the real thing? It's one of the my favourite parts of my 6005. That's the only thing missing unfortunately - It doesn't really bother me because I quite like the slightly haggard look of my Glock. For £16 though, I can forgive the lack of suede!

ollie_ty Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 It wouldn't be too hard to stuff done felt in there and achieve the same result surely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 It wouldn't be too hard to stuff done felt in there and achieve the same result surely? Probably not, it'd be a 20 minute job at most I reckon! Saying that, it's putting quite a nice wear pattern on my Glock, so I doubt I'll actually bother. Still, for £16 quid and a bit of felt and glue, you've got a damned nice holster that won't damage your finish! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 My Timberwolf and CM030. The top rail is ugly but it was the least expensive way to mount a tracer and I wanted it for night games. Kinda want an RMR for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 It wouldn't be too hard to stuff done felt in there and achieve the same result surely? Felt's too thick I think; tried it in one of my holsters and it didn't let the pistol in. I ordered some UltraSuede Light, I want to try to line a holster with it but not sure what mounting solution would be ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roland1014 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 My first issue with my current TM G17 setup: The AS Super Hard Loading Nozzle cracked, I'm assuming from contact with the inside of the BBH. And no, it has nothing to do with my loading nozzle spring(s). Still runs like a champ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How do you find that APS outer barrel and thread adapter setup Ollie? I've been looking for a threaded aluminum barrel since I can't find the Nine Ball one that's not been price gouged.

ollie_ty Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) The outer barrel is TM. I dremelled the hell out of it. EDIT: the adaptor itself is lovely. Edited March 10, 2014 by ollie_ty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ah right. So you dremmeled away at the fake rifling and then let the adapter cut threading into the aftermath? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 That was the idea. But the dremel melted the barrel a smidge, so I used a few spots of CA glue on the thread. Remember to do this with the barrel IN the slide Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RacingManiac Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Post-frame painting....at least the frame itself is mostly the same color now... Also took sometimes to reinforce the screwpost for this new frame since I didn't do it before... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BattleForceTactical Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Got my slide Cerakoted in armor black. Time to do some more stippling. What G19 is that? KSC/KWA, WE or KJW? Looks awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vilerk Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks. It's pretty much a frankengun now. KJW base, but it has a Guarder slide/barrel/frame with a WE hammer housing and BBU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
