But, I'm far from an "idiot." Perhaps a little impatient. Could have placed a business card in the area to protect the frame, but I didn't.

I think I was this there and was going to pick it up for a project. You did a great job. I do fear the scratch because I love the looks of my pistols, however, I just take great care in putting them back together. I have used the credit card trick at times.

I have a set of black cherry, 10-8 grips on my Range Officer and your pistol makes me want to switch them to a stainless pistol.

It's a piece of plastic cut to line up against the grip / slide and it's anchored by pressing it around the mag release. I'll try to find their website. I've had it for several years and it's saved my 45's a lot of scratches. I think they made them out of paper, too.

I'm no longer worried about buffing out an idiot scratch.
