My police trade-in but new-to-me S&W 4516 has some downright sharp edges on it underneath the trigger guard. I was wondering, since I'm kinda cheap, can I de-horn these myself and still leave the gun looking halfway decent? The gun already has some hoster wear on it but is in Very Good to Excellent condition nevertheless.
I don't really have much smithing experience, but was wondering if I could just take a stone from my Lansky knife sharpening kit and take the edges off ...
If not, what would I need to buy? The edges are not the sharpest I've seen on stainless guns, but are very irritating even with limited firing and handling. I'm not going to send it to a gunsmith, since I'm kinda tapped out after buying the gun.
Thanks!
