I stipple my Glock's that I plan to carry. I've run the Talon's, and while the grip is good, I have had them move around some, the adhesive gets a little loose, when in the summer doing classes. So, I stipple to make sure that's a non issue. I also never worry about resale on a gun. I buy nice guns for collecting and for resale if I want to get some money out of them, not a $500.00 Glock. Hell, my edc G-19's stipple job looks good compared to how beat up the rest of the gun is. I'm pretty hard on my edc guns.
