Got my new Badger grips for my new Ruger SP101. I've got Lone Wolff springs and a set of shims on their way as well. Once that's done, I think I'm going to work on deburring it by hand with 400/600/800 grit paper and some oil.. then have it bead blasted...

Anyone know how fine of paper I would need to get down to for bead blasting to actually even it all out? I feel like 600 is probably plenty, since it's already just a brushed stainless frame.

Anyways, here are a couple of pics I just took after installing the new grip. REALLY liking the way this feels.
