Ooooooooh, did you polish it, or have it coated? Are they Colt-D frame grips?

I did not realise that they came in polished! Not bad for a fillipino gun...

Yeah, I had a look at them at The Phoenix. Nice things, but was a bit small in the grip for my hands. Their new model fits better for me, but I'm not about to buy into that market just yet!

I polished it.

In my view the original finish is horrible. But it's soft and so it can be removed with fine wet & dry. Followed by a few hours (OK a whole weekend :-) ) with a buffing wheel. It takes quite a while to get it done. There are still a few places that I haven't got to yet. TBH the picture makes it look a bit better than it is, but its an improvement on the original.

Those are Pachmayr Colt Diamondback grips CD-G. They fit well, but they are just slightly too wide so the cylinder has to be eased past them gently.

They don't.....its a DIY job.

I've been wondering how to refinish mine, as the finish is pretty poor as you say. I was thinking of having it cerakoted, but I might polish it first and see if I like it. If not I'll get it coated...

That looks really nice!
