Dalerj: If you are just going to roll the edge of the trigger guard it can be done, 'BUT'. As Climson posted, it would be impractical and probably unsafe to bend the whole guard. If you heat it enought to bend the guard you'll have issues with the mag release and other alignment problems, and there is a fine line between hot enough to bend and melted. I used a heat gun(hot air) set at 600-650, and a wooden dowel to roll the edge of the trigger guard, and that seemed to work ok.
