Endura? Jandura? Ripoff? Regrind!

#1

Post by Liquid Cobra »

So I went to town on my Endura with some sandpaper in an attempt to recreate the Jandura look. I'm pretty happy with the results. It took a while to remove all that metal by hand so I took short breaks. I'd still say it needs to be cleaned up a bit but I'm happy overall. It's taken my old Endura which I honestly don't have much interest in and breathed new life into it. My Endura/Delica just can't compete for pocket time up against the rest of my lineup.

Easy fun mod if you're bored. That said, I'd still prefer to get my hands on one of the Kahr Delicas when they become available.

Queue the crappy cell phone pics!

Nice work! Good work maintaining the flat. That's pretty hard to do by hand.

Very tricky to photograph the spine with a cell phone camera. But I think you were wondering how rough it looks. It doesn't look tough at all, I work my way up the grits to get the finish I want.

Indeed. I have a **** of a time doing that when I'm sanding bolsters and guards. Takes me a long time to get them to satisfactory.
