Looks good. That warning billboard is just wrong and should never have been placed on a gun.

Very nice. I don't like those warnings either. I did the same thing to my New Vaquero and it looks so much nicer.

Looks like the sharp edges were nicely melted as well. What grades of sand paper did you use before switching over to the flitz? Also was all of the sanding by hand?
A small percentage of the sanding was done using the dremel tool which mostly involved removal of the warning. The cylinder was sanded by spinning it in a drill while the sandpaper was held by hand. The coarsest grit used was 80 grit emory cloth. I then gradually worked up to 600 grit sandpaper. I probably could have spent less time polishing with the Flitz and dremel tool if I had spent more time sanding, but I found the polishing to be less tedious than sanding even if it was more time consuming in the long run.

Thanks for the info. Looks like my sp101 will be in for some sanding and buffing this weekend!

Some nice panels and you have a one of a kind shooter. That polished finish is SO much easier to clean than the satin....pretty much wipe off and go.

That's rockin' rodfarva,
A very fine SP you have created there indeed.
Any plans for a grip change?

I think the Badger's would be a great fit rodfarva.
I am tempted to get a pair of Badger's in Corian for one of my stainless Security Sixes. I think it would be a great match.
Great job on the SP again.
