I recently had to take a road trip and pulled out my 9mm M2.0 M&P Compact (15rd frame) instead of my usual carry CSX. I found that the aggressive texturing of the Compact's grip was "grabbing" the interior of the sweatshirt I was wearing more than I liked. (I've used this pistol for a couple of shooting classes, but they didn't involve a covering garment, so the issue never arose) When I got home I decided to compare the Compact's grip texturing to my Sub-Compact's grip and the Compact was considerably sharper. The Sub-Compact was not as aggressive but it also could benefit from a little blending.
Today I decided to attack the problem. I just wanted to dull the sharp points on the sides only of the grip a slight amount. Many years ago I bought a set of abrasive polishing buffs for use with my Dremels and I have used them successfully on several different poly frames/grips to remove/blend sharp edges and remove mold lines, while not leaving that rough sanded look. I removed the grip/backstrap from the pistols to do this job. I started out with the 120 grit buff, the Dremel set at the lowest setting, with very light pressure and in less than 2 minutes each, the job was done. I went over the grip panel sides from different directions 90* and the result seems to be about perfect. I finished off the job by spraying the grip down with G96, to return the grips sheen, and wiped off the excess.
These are the abrasive buffs: [ame]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BNCB8TW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/ame]
