Not that I would ever stipple one of my glock I think its dumb and I dont like holding a bone saw when I shoot. but I was curious does it void a glock factory warranty? or any other manufacture warranties like Smith and wesson or like an XD any polymer wonder 9 for that matter?
 
it voids any chance of you getting something close to a decent resell value, But I am not sure what the fellas in smyrna would say about stippling

I know in the rare event that the frame cracks they will replace it at glock and reuse your serial number but I doubt they would replace it if it was stippled and the frame cracked.
 
I know I bought a G19 that had a relatively tasteful stipple job on the grip area, but modified none the less. The armorers never mentioned anything about it to me. They just did the normal clean and replace internal parts as needed then replaced a few mags I brought with.
 
I would say yes.

I sold a stippled m&p with pink colorfill for 425 no problems. Carried nicely, felt decent in the hand, but I'd never do it myself. To me it seems as if you're intentionally damaging the frame. So I can't see how it sour be warrantied. Grab some talon grips or traction grips and run w it.
