[QUOTE="grwd, post: 757685, member: 459"] yes, that can be done. Basically I would refinish the whole lower and then polish the "flats" of the frame back to the current condition. Sounds like the lower you dont like is a matte stainless steel finish. I would think that the small amount of "bite" it has would be beneficial to keeping hold of the gun during a draw or to control recoil. as far as a do-it yourself finish, smoothing up the frontstrap with a little scotch-brite pad (if it is really a stainless steel surface) would take care of the feel of it. Another option is to bead blast the whole frame. that would make it a little smoother. [/QUOTE]
