Very nice grips, but if I put them on my 239, I'd have nice grips on a pistol with a beat-up finish!  |

Actually, my frame is in good shape. if the slide were redone, the pistol would look great. I don't recall from your thread how you did that. Did you buff the finish off the slide or use some kind of stripper? I think a shiny slide would be a nice change...

I used Flitz to polish it slap sides and a buffer pad on the dremel to buff out the scratches. The main part was put into the alloy aluminum frame, the slide was easy because it is from stainless. Here is another image of the slide, from a different angle. |

So I just need a dremel with a buffer attachment and Flitz to shine up my p239 slide?

Is it a long and tedious task or can it be done in a cupla hours?

Is it a long and tedious task or can it be done in a cupla hours? Callahan; It all depends on the method which how you choose to do the task at hand. You can remove the firing pin, extractor, sights and internal firing pin safety, and use paint remover to strip the old coating off. Or you can take your time, mask the parts off that you don't want to strip and work small areas at time, until you are ready to begin polishing. Like every project; I take my time, with that, you will be rewarded by a job well done. Talking time; are you finished yet ? ;D |
