Looks brand new! Nice work, have always liked the satin type finish of these guns.

GREAT GUN FRIEND! ENJOY IT! I JUST GOT A 4506-1 FROM 1992, AND IT HAS BEEN HAND POLISHED TO A MIRROR, CONTEMPLATING BETWEEN LEAVING IT AS IS, OR GLASS BEADING IT TO ORIGINAL

Good job finding the new grips! I'm guessing lucky enough to get them on midway a couple weeks ago when they were briefly in stock?
I find the wife's nail polish works well for filling in the safety dot. Wipe away any excess with acetone.

Good tip on the nail polish. I just picked up a buffed out 4516-2 where the red is missing. Thanks.
