I want to checker the front of the grip on one of my Colt 1991a1 pistols but the steel is kind of thin at .080". It does seem to be consistent thickness up and down but I realized that I don't know how deep checkering would go. I'd hate to find that I'd cut all the way through.
I have checkering files from Brownell's, both 20 and 24 lpi versions.
Does anyone know if there is a risk of going through the front strap on one of these pistols?
I make the thickness of the same location on a 1974 Series 70 Government model to be almost .015" thicker than it is on the later gun.
