Dehorning Trigger Guard on TM Hi Capa

[emilianoksa 339]

Has anyone ever ground down the flat faced trigger guard on a hi capa to round it off and make it look more like a traditional 1911 trigger guard?

 

If so, what sort of rotary tool attachment should be used? Sand paper type, I expect. 

 

And I assume removing bits of the black polymer will reveal a grey or white finish underneath.

 

In which case which black paint would you recommend for touching it up?

 

Grateful for any replies.

I've done it on a od kjw lower. Think I calved it first an sanded. Most are the same colour all the way through afaik. Also cut the dust covers so they fit serpas.

Not sure what you mean by "dust covers".

 

Sorry if I am being stupid, but could you help me out?

Where the rail is under the barrel. Usually be up to the slide on a 4.3 . Basically they are cut to standard 1911 length.

Yes thanks.

 

But they are almost impossible to come by at the moment.
