I don't, I think it looks retarded. Same thing for those golf ball grips, they just look weird, like something you would see in an 80's alien horror movie.I think the golf balling looks awesome, but I'm just wanting the top flattened & the slide bottom beveled. Maybe someday, on another gun, I'll get golf balling. But IMHO it has to be a single colored (Frame/Slide) pistol or it won't look as good.
Completely agree, it does have a lot more grip than checkering... I'll admit... it's a strictly cosmetic reason for me not liking it.I own guns with 25LPI, 30LPI and currently own a Rogers golfballed gun, go with the golfballing and you won't be sorry. It actually is a bit more grippy than traditional checkering.
Hint: get all your machine work done at once, otherwise you'll be sorry later.
Agree with this too... if you don't do it right now, you're likely to never do it because of all the extra cost associated with it (I.E. refinishing).
