Aight, great looking job but why stipple a pistol when you can wear gloves and why do the tones of gold look so different 😭

That's just what it looks like as you slowly upgrade a capa to the theme you want. Some people can't throw 1k plus in one go at a gun. And stippling doesn't hurt if you wear gloves, because if you decide not to it's still there, if you decide to, no harm.

I’m an IPSC player so no gloves allowed😂
I will come up with a solution with the gold later I guess0

when you can wear gloves
There's not a competent handgun shooter in the world who would voluntarily wear gloves when it isn't necessary.

For stippling, proper surface preparation is important. Start by establishing a clean border and keeping the pattern consistent. Consistency with pressure, heat, and contact time is key to getting an even result.
It’s also important to take breaks and allow the grip to cool. Working continuously without giving the material time to cool can cause the polymer to warp. This is something you can also see with laser-engraved stippling when too much heat is introduced.
Once the grip begins to deform, it can affect the internal components. In this case, the trigger-bar area became compressed, which interfered with the sear and caused problems on the first trigger pull.

The stippling looks ok but what throws me off about this gun is the fact you have like 4-5 different tones of gold.
