Midwayusa sells wrap around grip tape for glocks.
So.. how often do you get attacked while washing dishes?I'm a big fan of the functionality and consider it for me a must have. It is ugly as fvck though but Glocks aren't beauty queens in stock form anyways. What sold me was at during training the instructor 'splaineded how it helps and had us all put a mix of dish soap and water on our hands and shoot 5 rounds. I could barely keep the gun controlled. Then had us repeat with his pistol that had been stippled and it was much mo'bettah. I stippled my Glock so its a very aggressive pattern but knowing better now, I would only stipple the front and rear of the grip and leave the sides alone. It tears my skin up if it's against it so I have to wear an undershirt and those get ruined quickly. Plus 80% of your grip strength is derived from your thumbs and fingers anyway.

Stippling.. meh..
Proper grip is all needed to have good control.
So far never, but it should definitely be an option for the women in your life.
In all seriousness at work I have a chance of reduced grip because of chemicals (oil, transmission, power steering, brake fluids)so my grip isn't always a sure thing and stippling helps alleviate my concerns over dropping my gun.
As always tailor your equipment to your lifestlye and figure out what works for you.
I do know someone that ruined a Glock mag by stippling it. I laughed my ass off when I realized what he had done.
Some examples of what it can look like when not done right.... poor guns.
What really hurts my head is the guys that think their $450 G17 is now worth $600 because its stippled.
