After doing my first undercut and stipple job I remember thinking there was no way you could get me to go back...it's like night and day for folks with normal size hands!

Matt Cheely stippled and undercut a grip for me and it's as good as I could ever want.

I stippled my own grip thanks to G-ManBart.

Thanks G-ManBart!


Edit to add:

I have been looking at this one couple guys I shoot with have them and they look pretty good.

Aftec grip.

I grind, stipple and undercut grips with my own idea of what is perfect and they fit so much better it isn't funny. Everyone that has normal or smaller hands that has grabbed one has really liked my grind. People with larger than normal hands it doesn't work so well for, too much reduction. I had Bart stipple a couple red ones for me and put them on my Open and Limited guns, with his superb stippling and my grind I couldn't ask for a better fit or function!!

Shanahan does a great job, the best painted grips I have seen. Roupe makes a grip that looks fantastic and works great, Brazos stippled grips and Bedell stippled grips are really nice too. There are probably at least a couple more premium quality grips out there that are really well done, and then the sandpaper finished grips are the hot ticket for some people as well.

I think the bottom line is to try to get your hands on a couple different ones and pick the one that you like best, any of them are far better than a stock grip.

I am using a Shanahan grip and really like the stippling he has done on it. It has the best grip of the painted ones I have seen. It is also double cut nicely. I have undercut all my grips and really like this feature. Even on my airsoft guns! :P

I read about g-manbart grips and they look great and was wanting to try a stipple grip and undercut.
The aftec grip from derek looks good but I might try one myself, just not sure yet. I shoot a brazos sc limited
I got in oct. I was thinking about a red grip.

I like the precut skate board style tape, after I undercut it. I only under cut for the strong hand.

I liked the perma-grip Chuck at Shooters Connection sold at one time.
Thinned and Strong Hand undercut with Aluminum oxide epoxied
into the grip. Kinda like a Scott grip except with an undercut.

Latest gun is from Derek and has his Aftec Grip which I really like too.

I have a smaller hand and really like the thinned, undercut, and
grippy surface.

Don't get too carried away with the undercutting and thinning and ruin
the grip though.

If you can explain it, Jim can do it. He modified the grip for my open gun and I love it.

I sand down and apply a grit similar to the Scott grip, also do a double undercut. It is great and seems like it will last forever.

I shoot both EBG3's grip and the older Roupe grip that is also undercut. I like both but like the EBG3's better. I have just started using the new stainles grip from SV and it is awesome and it is undercut.

Another one for Jim Hart. He did the grips on my open and limited guns and they are awesome. He will do it any way you want.

I have stippled, undercut and reduced several of them. Currently I'm using a stock sti grip with a heavy undercut and the corners knocked down. I'm considering really cutting the heck of out another one to make it perfect to my hand.

I didn't think too much of stippled grips then I got mine done by 00bullit and I wouldn't have it any other way.
