All the information for borders is out there. It takes practice and literally looking at hundreds of photographs and looking at the same photograph hundreds of times. I've been obsessed with it over the last 4 or 5 months and my longtime girlfriend is definitely not happy about it. I just refinished the borders on my 41. Nothing really wrong with the old borders but I like this style better. Edit-Pics

I slightly allowed the weight to take material up, and began to form the shape I was after. It was nasty looking, dont worry. You then gradually go higher in grit until you feel it is smooth enough to go at it with a polishing wheel. The mag release I used a combination of a few sanding stone shapes to achieve the depth. Be sure while trying these modifications you know how much material you have to work with. Cerakote done by Caleb at Hudsonville Arms. The slide is Burnt Bronze and the Frame is Graphite Black/ Satin Aluminum mix. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/jrp5985/DSC_0697.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/jrp5985/DSC_0702.jpg That is beautiful, OP!

It can be depending on the amount of pressure applied when forming the ridges. I went overly aggressive on one pistol and reworked it to tone it down after a shooting session. I stippled my chopped 19 and did a light sanding to get it a little smoother for carry purposes. |
