Tie your handgun to the back of your pickup then drive down a gravel road. How is that for a jerry rig setup!

Hang it from the swingset, break out the Red Ryder, 10,000 BBs and a case of Icehouse.

Bump for a serious idea hopefully, the main reason being I live in a country where I need a permit to transport my handgun anywhere, and it is a PITA to get one to take it to a shop (assuming they will work on a firearm) then another to take it back, my smith does not do Bead blasting of any sort, though he said he might start in a couple years

A "Madman with a Sixgun" will put the pistol in his glove box, and find someone who owns a bead blaster.

Check with rental places and see if you can rent the equipment.



Practice on your kids toys & wife's junk before you risk your own gun.
