Thanks all for your opinions and observations!
I smooth shifted the grip out of the frame and used the point normal move to scale it just slightly. Looks OK, but I agree that it's a bit cozy with no seperation. I took the easy way out but I'll probably go back and seperate the parts.
I found a really good profile image of it, and as strange as it sounds, the brushed look on the slide near the muzzle actually does run vertically, while the machining on the slide where the text is runs horizontally. Odd, but true.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I wasn't going for hyper-realism like user sake :bow: but wanted to be in the ballpark for a few close-ups. It's but a prop in a much larger scene.
I had hand surgery a while back so I've been a mere observer lately but I'll soon be back in the game.
Thanks again for the replies. If anyone else wants to chime in, I welcome it!!
BTW - SOOOOOOO glad the spam is gone. That was really starting to suck.
