I started polishing up the brass tonight. I think it's going to turn out okay.

I polished up the grip frame. I'll take some before and after photos before I hit the trigger guard.

I wet sanded with 400 grit and 600 grit, then hit it with the buffing wheel. Then I polished it with Flitz.

It looks pretty good, but I might go buy some 1500 grit to hit it with before the buffing wheel.

I'm thinking about trying to make a set of grips. Should be an interesting project (like I need another project.)
