Understanding Your Upgrade Options
Not sure which upgrade options to choose? This guide explains the most common stippling upgrades available at Singuard Solutions, including connected borders and finger pad texturing.
Standard Borders
Standard borders create clearly defined texture areas with a clean, traditional stippled appearance.
Rather than extending texture throughout the grip, standard borders maintain distinct separation between the stippled sections and the surrounding frame. This provides a refined, factory-inspired look while still delivering enhanced grip and control.
Best for:
• Everyday carry builds
• Clean, traditional aesthetics
• Customers who prefer defined texture areas
Finger Pad Texturing Upgrade
Finger pad texturing adds grip texture to the factory indexing area above the front strap.
This upgrade provides an additional point of contact for improved control and consistency during handling, manipulation, and shooting. It is a simple but effective enhancement for customers seeking additional grip in key contact areas.
Best for:
• Duty use
• Defensive firearms
• Additional grip and indexing points
Connected Borders
Connected borders join the front and side stippled panels into one continuous texture pattern.
Rather than leaving the front strap and side panels as separate textured areas, connected borders blend them together into a seamless, integrated design. The result is a cleaner custom appearance, improved texture continuity around the grip, and additional textured surface area for enhanced control.
Best for:
• Customers seeking a seamless custom appearance
• Increased texture continuity around the grip
• Maximum stippling coverage
• Competition, duty, and enthusiast builds
