Searched the FAQ and found the short write-up on Blindhogg, but did not find it helpful.
Are there any other resources that can show me the main areas in which a 1911 is usually de-horned? Thanks for the help. |

handle 1911 find spots you find uncomfortable apply files as necessary  And remember, a GOOD dehorn job doesn't look dehorned!... ! +1 I'm not a fan of the "soap bar" look. Some edges only need to take the "sharpness" off and some look good with a nice 45 degree bevel. The best way is for you to take it to go to a good, high round count training course and find out where YOUR pistol needs it. I like a slight bevel on the front and rear of the slide, as well as the front of the dust cover and on the slide lock (mostly because I like the look). I also typically break the sharp edge around the trigger guard, at the bottom of the slide, on the safety and in a few places around the ejection port. Just don't get carried away. Some sharp edges don't even need a file, just a quick touch of a buffing wheel does it. |
