Next front strap I do I think I will do in 25lpi, and also take pictures as I go then look later at the flaws. After awhile you go "snowblind" looking at the checkering and start to miss stuff.

Holy Cow, it actually works! Only shot about a box and a half and this target was only at about 20ft as I was shooting for function not groups. Started 1rnd, 2rnds, 3rnds etc making sure it wasn't going to follow or double. Next range session I'll shoot it 25yrds rested so I can get a front sight ordered to finish this thing up!

If it were only that easy... Even if someone was close I'm not sure I'm ready to hack on someone else's toy. I may just have to buy another one and try 25lpi!

I like 25 LPI. You said the next one you do you will post picture as you go along. I will be looking forward to that.
BTW, I think you are brave to "practice" on a real one. I would have tried to find demilled scrape 1911 frames to learn on.

This one started out as an NM mil-spec. I didn't do the work myself though. Yours turned out great!

I use a 60 grit Glass Bead. It is a nice matt finish on Stainless or Carbon.
Not at all rough, but a nice satin matt.
