RIA Tactical II FS sharp edges
Does anyone have any ideas on on smoothing out the sharp edges on the safeties for my Tactical II. the grip and thumb both pinch in the web of my hand (whine, whine) I was trying to decide whether to smooth them out and risk screwing up the finish, or replacing the parts with better quality compatible pieces. I'm sure someone has already done this.
any advice would be appreciated.

If it's a gap causing the pinch, fitting Wilson or Brown parts would be my choice

On an old GI 1911 the grip safety was gouging me, I dipped it in Plasti Dip as a temporary solution two years ago.
Plasti Dip is a thick liquid that you can dip, say, plier handles in to recoat them. Dries rubberized, skin grips it when ya grab. Hardly professional, but it worked. Stuff is made by Performix, I buy it at Lowes., paint section.

On my FS-Tac I de-horned those bloodthirsty paddles with a dose of Dremel. Smoothed and rounded off the edges of the base of the wings and softened the corners a bunch. I also cut one whole corrugation off the right-side wing, making it less obtrusive. Followed up by a bunch of cold-bluing that hasn't taken as well as I'd like. Frankly, I'm thinking about switching them off to a TCM and putting it's smoother, GI-standard type single paddle on in it's place. It's my home-defense pistol and I'd like it to feel more like the CS-Tac I use for a CCW.
