More sanding and priming. Also added the Copper barrel. (I built two wooden originals just in case the molding and casting failed miserably...)

Removed the original and cleaning up the mold

I was concerned about how the Smoothcast 300 would hold up as a trigger guard, so I fashioned one out of 1/8" HIPS and stuck it in the mold for rigidity. This really made for a SOLID trigger guard. (I like to spin them.)

This is my PSA to ALWAYS wear your gloves when pouring your smoothcast. Not only is this nearly impossible to get off our your flesh, it mildly burns you if you fail to wipe it off.

I am feeling pretty good about this whole process. I slushed this one with about 6oz of Resin so it has a few hollow voids internally. This helps with the weight. (Which is considerably less than the wooden original!)
If anyone is interested in a pair of these beauties, Hit me up with a PM.
