    Out of town more than I’m at the house but Have practiced some and think I’ve decided on basic pattern but haven’t done any decent borders yet.

    Grit tape? Grip tape I don’t use grip tape? And the stippling no actually it doesn’t it’s more smooth than one might think. The “factory” stippling is actually more harsh then photographed on my 45.

    Doesn't all that grit tape and stippling eat your hands up after a few mags?
    Some people may run talon grips which make a grip tape texture on some models but no I wouldn’t use grip tape. If stippling done correctly shouldn’t eat your hands but give the entire pistol way better grip for your support and dominate hand. My hands are not giant but a 19 is to small comfortably so I usually undercut, double undercut add enhanced finger groove, acceleration cuts for my support hand then reform my pistol to my liking lastly stipple. Not everyone is the same and everyone has there own opinion on this subject.
