Here's some progress pics of the Ed Brown Memory Groove Beavertail I'm installing on my Rock. Still have alot of blending to do but, it already looks better than the drop-in did. Most of the blending will be on the bottom and I still have to even it out on top.

I still have to mate the frame and grip lines at the top-sides, even out the top, contour the thumb-safety, and blend in the entire bottom. Got that far and discovered I was out of both 600 and 1200 grit paper, cold-blued it to keep the rust off til I get to the Auto-Paint store to get the wet/dry.

Hey Dave, What did you end up finishing the finish (I know that's a strange sentence) with? did you just blue it to death or coat it with something else?

Keystone, that's Oxpho-blue from Brownells.

GD2A, nope they were done by Larry Capatoni.
