A friend worked with Novak and said the work is first class and inspected carefully before it leaves the shop.

When you say "beveling" are you referring to "melting" the pistol? Taking off the sharpe or rough edges? If so, it is well worth it.

I have melted several of my pistols ( simple thing, polish off the stuff which hurts ) and had them refinished. Makes a world of difference when carrying.

Good luck.
