I finally got my wife to the range to enjoy my new PMR-30 and after three or four rounds, she complained that it was abrading the web of her hand.

Upon close examination of the the upper part of the grip, I noticed a mold seam. I was surprised it became bothersome to her (too much hand moisturizing, I guess )but at least I know that the frame isn't printed.

A piece of gaffer tape over the seam solved the problem for now. I think a light sanding with a slow-moving sanding drum will remove it.

Do your frames show a seam? Did you remove it? If so, how?

A driven sanding drum might be a tad aggressive,
unless you have a surgeon's touch. Needle files
or even a sharp blade will do it, with more
control.

I do have an X-Acto knife - I'll give that a try.

thanks!

You might even try some of wife's emery boards, to
smooth things out. Don't tell her it was my idea.

Ha-ha! I've used her clear nail polish to set small screws, her nail polish remover to degrease stuff, her hair dryer to soften glue, etc.

An X-Acto and a little bit of sanding with her nail buffer fixed it.
