Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying Grayscale or shading by using small dots. Such a pattern may occur in nature and these effects are frequently emulated by artists.
In a drawing or painting, the dots are made of pigment of a single colour, applied with a pen or brush; the denser the dots, the darker the apparent shade—or lighter, if the pigment is lighter than the surface. This is similar to—but distinct from—pointillism, which uses dots of different colours to simulate blended colours.
In Gunsmith, stippling is used to engrave patterns on the firearm's grip to provide a more solid grip by creating more friction. This modification is done only on pistols with polymer frames since they have one-piece frames and solid grips, while steel-framed pistols usually have a hollow grip with textured grip scales to provide friction. If the user is willing to take the possibility of failing the procedure and getting permanent, unwanted results they can stipple their own pistols since the procedure only requires either a soldering iron or a small, handheld Die grinder with burr bits.
