Abalone grips

Post by Bill DeShivs »

Here's a little stainless Bauer .25 auto that I polished the slide and small parts on. Then I made this set of laminated abalone grips.

Sorry, I don't have before pictures. I may try to get better pics of the polishing tomorrow.
I did find a stock picture of a Bauer. It looked pretty much like this:

If I remember correctly the Bauer is a pretty nice one, as in not a Raven. Not a big fan of small caliber hand guns but they are deadly with good shot placement and lots better than throwing rocks. I have a Sterling that belonged to my Dad and it's nice for what it is but it ain't no Bauer.

Bauers were investment cast stainless copies of the Browning .25 auto.
They are a little cruder than the Brownings, because of the casting process-but are generally fine little guns.

Low powered round but I wouldn't want to be hit with one. Think Vagrent got shot in the knee with one, I'd aim for the nuts!
