Custom Engraved Slide and my new grip pad

I can't just let things sit and not tinker with them.  I'm also sick and tired of buy guns only to turn around and sell them.  

So, I decided to have the slide on my P3AT engraved, figuring that if I engraved it, I'd feel like I couldn't sell it.  I messed around with pictures in Photoshop to try out different ideas and then took it into an engraving shop.

I also created a more ergonomic grip using 3 layers of bike inner tube and a small piece of heavy electrical wire slightly bent and inserted between the layers of inner tube to create the raised area on the front of the grip. It has a nice feel.

Thanks everyone. I'm very please with my one-of-a-kind hand gun. It turned out how I had imagined.

The bump is a short piece of wire (your typical house wire - Romax). I gave it a little bend and then inserted it under the second layer of inner tube.

The neat thing is you can adjust it until it feels just right.

And the three layers of inner tube give it a very comfy feel.
