FRAME & GRIP

Warning! Do not sand or polish the rails on the aluminum frame that is mounted in the grip. You may carefully remove any burrs that have formed from use, but be careful to remove no more of the anodizing than is necessary.

*7. Polish the hammer face.

8. Smooth any machining burrs on the takedown pin holes that may interfere with the movement of the barrel.

9. Relieveand smooth the front edge of the frame where the springs drag when they compress.

10. If your barrel has been gouging the frame as in the picture, you need to sand the area just enough to eliminate the contact. Or sand the barrel to eliminate the contact and just smooth the frame.

11. Smooth the front edge of the grip where the nose of the slide extends past it. This is not required on all pistols, check to see if the slide contacts when retracted.

12. If you see scuffs where you slide has been dragging on the frame support, gently sand a little to eliminate the contact.

13. Check the slide catch to see if it drags on the bullets or the side of the magazine follower causing a premature lock back of the slide. If it does, sand it down, just enough so that it no longer drags.
