Alliteration aside , most of you know I have several Glocks.



Some of you may even recall that I have ridiculous tiny girly-hands -- 6'3", 300#, 13EEE feet, tiny hands.



The small frame Glocks fit me like they were custom made just for me, the large frames not so much. Nevertheless, I love my G21s and my new G21SF even more so.



One of my G21s was a former PD gun that had seen its better days in terms of wear/scratches/gouges on the right side of the grip (left side and slide are fine) which tells me it was carried by a right-handed LEO... maybe even a bike/motorcycle officer?









It works fine but, since it was already scuffed up good, and since it's a bit too bit for my hands anyway, while I was sitting around Saturday watching football my curiosity got the better of me and I pulled out the Dremel^® and started experimenting.



At first I was just going to smooth out the scuffs on that one side... but my compulsions took over and pretty soon I was pondering just how much I could take off/down without creating a hole or gap and just how well I could make it fit my hand. Off came the finger bumps. Then the raised parts of the grip sides. Then the serrations front and back. When I finally made myself quit, I had it "melted" down to a pretty minimal grip (short of removing the rear hump/channel) and it felt really good in my hands...







... but it has seen it better days looks-wise.



The finished feel is much smoother than the picture portrays, and the color/shading difference looks much more pronounced in the pic than under normal lighting, but I'd still like to give it a little more finished look and that is why I am posting this here.



1) What can I do to give it a more uniform final texture/feel? Fine sand paper by hand, maybe? Not a fan of the home stippling jobs I've seen, and that is not the look or feel I really want.



2) Anything to be done about the color contrast? (Besides covering it up with something?)



This is my first (and probably last) foray into "Glock whittling," so any and all suggestions are appreciated.

I really don't want to stipple it... may just use some fine sandpaper by hand and then oil as suggested above.



If it looks horrible, I can always try something else later.

The cost of the work doesn't bother me at all, it just gripes me to no end to pay almost $100 to ship a handgun simply because UPS can't keep their own employees from stealing.

Nope, aesthetics primarily.  If I have trouble gripping/shooting it when all is said and done, I can always wrap it in something.  This isn't a carry gun for me, so I don't anticipate that being a problem.
