@GLDNST8 my best advice is to practice on these amzn.to/3fp5JMQ You just need to first familiarize yourself with the tool and how it burns (the impression time and angle). Then, practice your pattern, judging your consistency. Don't jump to your frame until your practice patches are getting easier. Moving onto a frame only adds difficulty in the sense of the different curves and more nerves. So practice your pattern along the curves of your practice glock box in all the hard spots too. Be patient but not scared. You should be much more confident after practicing your first few days. When you first start your frame and commit. Start in a non visible hidden location like front or backstrap, allowing you some wiggle room to get used to the pattern.

@lascruces214 it's one of the most common for edc. It adds a ton of grip and is not uncomfortable at all

How is that not a pattern?

@clearedtoland72 watch my newer video with steps A-Z. You remove the factory texture with a sanding drum. Less is more with this, you just need it flat, not deep or smooth at all.

Now I have to do all my glocks! 😂 figure you’ll save me 1000 bucks!

Nice man. Wait till you go to the range and see how easy it is to clean polished internals. Comes right off with almost no cleaner.

The biggest benefit is once polished your parts are very easy to clean carbon off of. The second thing is very nuance but you have a smoother feel in your trigger functions. People make the mistake of thinking a polish job lowers the weight, but it's usually ¼ pound or less of a difference. Best option for trigger being lighter is a 3.5lb connector, a 4.5 trigger spring, and/or a reduced power safety plunger spring.

Thanks Matt, glad you liked my video.👍

amzn.to/3UC53rV 👆the standard dremel with a flex shaft is the best overall value and what I use. A great starter option for the lowest price that will work fine for DIY projects is the Stylo below: amzn.to/31JwzZr

Most tips for polymer are usually shallow because you can't go very deep into the polymer. Hypothetically though If you did have a tip that was an inverted cone it would essentially leave a spike imprint. Only the first 1to2 millimeters of a tip is going to interact with the polymer in terms of the depth of the tip.

That would make an interesting pattern, with the perimeter of the shape of the top design making I guess you would call a negative impression versus a positive? Square, rectangle, circle and so on…

In general instead of making an impression it would simulate raising the pattern..?

@user-du8tg4wh3k correct you have to think of it as an inverted impression when your looking at a tip or trying to make a custom one.

I wouldn't say a welders skills would translate over to stippling with much help to them. This is more like an art form, takes patience, a steady hand, and an eye for detail. Stippling is more like tattooing, sculpting, or wood carving. Side note: It just hit me that you may be asking me, if I like welding? 🤣 If that's the context you meant, I have never done it before.

Thanks a lot bud. I'm very grateful for your compliments

It's made by Arms Republic It's free shipping right here: bit.ly/45BjDo9

Thanks man keep practicing, and you will see improvement. Use glock boxes for practice material when testing your tip impressions.

@@CycloneGunworks please keep posting I love the content

you can do the same with your hands and a rag, just takes more finesse

A polish job helps smooth out all triggers and makes the metal easier to clean of carbon. The pull weight would only change about ¼ lb.

Many people, sometimes we like to chill because all we do is move.

You nailed it, I am always moving something.

Like many trades it can be tedious but you only have to be patient for it to come out looking high quality. You can rush and it won't look great, but you'll still get the grip enhancement benefits.

I'm glad you mentioned that. One of the most underrated benefits with polished internals is that when it comes time to clean carbon/dirt, you can wipe off almost everything with very little effort as oppose to a factory finish that likes to cake up carbon and stick almost like the metal is porous. Sometimes, when cleaning polished parts, you don't even need a solvent. On a more nuanced level, you are only going to help any friction points run smoother and more dependably. Even if your barrel locks up 1% better. It's definitely worth the easy cleaning benefits. The extractor plunger isn't as necessary, but you'd prob take the extra 30 seconds (with dremel) needed so you have all nice looking shiny parts and not leaving one out.

Man i gotta try this. Looks great. What compound do u recommend?​@CycloneGunworks

@kalanipitmon7817 mothers mag polish is the most common. Flitz will work good too

@@CycloneGunworkspost the method 🙏🏽

Good eye

Glad to hear it bud. You may want to check a reduced plunger spring as well. Basically changes very little but smoother

It's the 1.5 mm version / shallow u gouge

@@CycloneGunworks Thanks for a super fast response!

Micro shallow / 1.5mm
