There's professionals that charge anywhere from $200 to $450 for different frame work packages.
These are from a dude named Peter Ross who charges several hundred per a frame. He's doing plenty of business because his turnaround time is months.
Hate all you want but he's making good money doing something he loves. Personally I don't see why people get so triggered by stippled Glocks.

Because ODT stipple jobs involve a bottle of Jack and a 5 million watt soldering iron.
As much as I've (mostly) hated stippling, for years now, I actually did some stippling myself a while back.
A couple years ago, I traded into one of those long-slide S&W M&P 9mm's (from a local ODT regular), and i thought those interchangeable palm-swell/back-strap pieces could seriously use some more traction, and since the things only cost about $3, i decided to give stippling a try on one of them.
So, I went to Harbor Freight, and pried about $8 bucks outa my wallet for their cheapest soldering iron. Then i grabbed this cheap magnifying headset thing I have (HIGHLY useful, I love that thing !),and went out to the back porch where the light is really good, and plugged in an extension cord, and went at it.
The whole job only took a few minutes (again, this wasn't an entire frame, just a back-strap section), but it came out fantastically well.
The real secret (for my gradually diminishing eyes) is that magnifying headset thing. It REALLY makes it easy to do clean, consistent work, I can't recommend them enough, even if you're not currently in need of vision enhancement. I can see even in those photos directly (now two posts) above this post, that's some pretty sloppy work, and some magnification would've made all the difference. (and I say that confidently as a single-stipple-job "expert" !
)
BTW, those pics above in Fat Albert's post #14, now that's some nice work !!

The CNC machined “enhancements” look pretty nice. Soldering iron versions not so much. IMO. Some are way to aggressive and feel sharp in my hand.
I wouldn't let someone pay me to stipple my Glocks
FTFY
