This is perfect, thanks.

I was thinking about how I'd go about it and this takes the guesswork out of it.

H Alma...Are you planning to post up a video of how you build up the palm swells?

It would be nice to see you that process.

Thanks for sharing!!!!!

It is pretty east yo do.  I shaped mine with epoxy prior to adding the silicon carbide, you can see the hump in the pic.  I also reduced my wifes grip substantially. Lots of options.

I did mine as well, but I didn't do the slide release guard, and wish I did. I have another X5 Legion grip arriving in a couple days for a makeover. Alma did my son's Legion grip and I like it better without the raised slide release protection area.

I found that using electrical tape cut in strips the long way made it really easy to form the curves without having to use multiple pieces. Makes for really smooth transitions.
