Took the steel frenzy class this past Friday, and I noticed that the flashing on the beavertail was rubbing on my thumb enough to create irritation and a blister. So what started as taking some sandpaper to smooth that raised edge out turned into dremeling the whole beavertail to reshape it. I watched Alma Cole's video on youtube and decided, f*** it why not...
Didn't think to take in progress pics because I was pretty sure I'd f*** this up. Turned out decent. Now just need to get some sandpaper and smooth things out. For my small dainty hands, this fits WAY better than the stock grip that has that raised bump around the whole beaver tail. I put an original X5 grip in the pic for reference.
Happy to talk anyone else through what I did. I can tell you, butthole puckered up that first moment taking a grinding bit onto the side of that $200 txg frame...
