We have recently discovered that Glock has changed their polymer formula for at least SOME of the models recently produced(as of 2024). This new polymer is the same material that they moved the backstraps to around late 2022 or early 2023. It does not stipple the same as the old type of polymer that has been used from the beginning. Unfortunately, we do not yet have a firm date of manufacture or Serial Number range that can help us identify these frames. We have discovered that some models include a green dot on the rear right frame rail. All instances that DO have this green dot have been the new polymer, however we have also seen some frames that include the green dot which are still the old polymer, so this is not a 1:1 confirmation.
When in question, we may – at our discretion – initiate a small test mark on the inside of the dust cover on your frame to confirm that it is made of the compatible polymer. By ordering stippling service, you are agreeing to this potential marking.
We currently ONLY laser stipple on OEM black Glock frames. We have some others under R&D, but no ETA’s at this time.
Currently, we DO NOT stipple:
- Polymer 80
- Sig P320
- M&P
- etc…

There will be a 30% restocking fee on all controlled items returned because of ineligible transfer – failed background checks, local restrictions, etc. Know your local laws before ordering.
Federal law requires that you be 21 years of age or older to purchase a stripped receiver or frame. If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver, not a handgun or long gun. However, they still are “firearms” by definition, and subject to the same GCA limitations as any other firearms. See Section 921(a)(3)(b). 18 U.S.C. Section 922(b)(1) makes it unlawful for a licensee to sell any firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to any person under the age of 21.
It is required by law that a person that does not possess a valid FFL, must ship serialized handguns by 2nd-day air with a contract carrier (UPS is recommended). Long guns can be shipped with ground service by the USPS or a contract carrier.
We recommend using ShipMyGun.com to get a discounted UPS label for shipping. We are a preferred dealer on ShipMyGun to expedite the process. Just search for the zip code (85335) and we should be at the top of the list. The boxes on the ShipMyGun.com forms are not important as your gun is not being sent for transfer. You can put “SDT” as the transferee.
