No, I don't want to cast my own pistol; I hope that I'm using the right terminology.
I have a CZ-52, and I like shooting it a lot, but when my grip is fairly high (I've been reading Brian Enos's book), the angle between the back of the backstrap and the side the backstrop (or grip) smacks against my thumb knucke pretty hard,
I have thought about taking a file to it, and trying to round out that angle.
Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Should I give the weapon six months or so and see how I adjust to the grip?
The gun has a dull grey finish, which I think I've heard called "Parkerized", but also "grey phosphate". I'll oviously take that off by filing. If I keep that area coated with a light coat of oil, can I wait quite a while before I get it refinised?
How exactly do I the "filing". I assume that I'll start with a file, and move to finer and finer sandpaper?
Thanks for the info!
