Abalone grips
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:

Re: Abalone grips
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.

Re: Abalone grips
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!
