Well just to update everyone I shot my glock last friday, 110 rounds in about 45 minutes. None of the crayon melted, the crayon wasn't even affected at all. This was indoors at Blythe's in Valpo. The true test is going to be this summer shooting outside in the heat! Here is a link to my range report if you didn't see it before: https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/handguns/31005-range_report_g19_ruger_security_six_357_a.html
Thanks. I did it about 3 1/2 years ago. All I used was a hacksaw, a soldering iron, a file and some sandpaper... Took a couple hours+, but I went slow and just took a little off at a time until the fit was right.
I do love 1911s, but this has usually been in the past and will likely continue to be my main CCW gun.
I like it a lot more that the RTF. The separators for the fingers are a little less pronounced so it fits in your hand a little nicer than the older grip. The rough texture is a bit uncomfortable for about the first 15 min, and then its quite effective for grip. I have rather large hands, and long fingers and this grip fits pretty good.
Also just did a little arts and crafts and have a bit of a new look on the gun. I took your advice jforrest and just used a crayola crayon. Had trouble at first, keeping the wax in the grooves, but after a couple tries it worked out great. Also I just used a dab of Break Free on a cloth to get off the excess white.
Sorry for the quality, took it on my iphone, I'll post something better when I get a chance.
Your coloring looks great! Yea it took me a few minutes to get the technique too, and I really like the contrast! What surprises me is how well it sticks in there. I carry my G19 everywhere (but school) and like I mentioned before the crayon survived 110 rounds in about 45 minutes.
