Maybe Tom was thinking of the Erma KGP's!

J.D., I think your question about bead blasting is pertinent, because you will see evidence of it afterward if that is all you do. Hand finishing , strictly speaking, leaves its own evidence, so you'd make the choice according to how you want the pistol to look afterward. You might try first stripping it chemically to see what kind of surface you have and take it from there.
