Title: What finish is this texturing?

I've seen this on a few guns, and just wanted to get thoughts on what you think it is?  What I have seen so far similar is a duracoat spray with an application of sand or concrete and then sprayed over.

Thoughts?

That's a stippling job.

Robar does stippling and/or grip reduction to Glocks. (Or other polymer pistols)

Check out the gallery on this site.  These guys do some very nice work.  They have bundles of most-asked-for services, but you can have them do as much or as little as you like.  The trigger guard notch to reduce the wide separation between the trigger and middle fingers is tempting, as is the reduced grip..  The looks they can achieve are really cool, too.

Yeah I'm thinking that or a marine epoxy.

Robar does it in the same manner that people have been doing textured rifle stocks for a long long time and since they do it on their rifle stocks it transferred very well onto the Glock.  Marine Tex, Acraglass, Devcon or even JB weld are some of the more common for an overlay texture or fill and shape jobs.  Stippling has has gained more favor as it is easier DIY and is more durable long term.  I tend to use Marine Tex for over lay type texture, fills, beaver tails, old style integrated magwells, prior to the heat formed one that I favor now.  Or you could go with the sandpaper type finishes like ZEV tech used heavily was just an even layer of JB or similar on the grip and then embedding a silica grit in the tacky epoxy.  Spray on be liner is also not a very good permanent solution.  Just like the silica, the bed liner needs touch ups can be messy and feel sticky.

Ya 2nd that marine tex . Lay in on with anything u like ....the way I got the texture was laying plastic wrap on it and then removing said plastic wrap. If you practice and play around with it you can get many different styles of texture. It's good shit durable but not so unforgiving.
