PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Nighthawk Alumagrip question

Got a set of Nighthawk alumagrips for my TRP - The moon portion was very white. First time I cleaned my gun with them on, I used Breakfree oil on the outside of thegun after reassembly, and then wiped it down.

The moon area is a darker grey now, with more shadows on it. It looks a little more like the ones I have seen in the pics - it didn't have many shadows in ut before. But, I assume this is normal - the first time they are oiled they get darker?

To whiten up the 'moon' spray it with Birchwood Casey GunScrubber or brake cleaner and then blow it off with compressed air (I use those small cans of compressed air that you can buy to clean off electronic equipment, lens, etc). This whitening is only temporary because the oils from your hands will darken the 'moon' again.
