I used this stuff last night on a set of black powder revolver grips. I didn't sand because I wanted the pores left open. Leaving the pores open gives a better grip, which is important for a firearm. I have used Formby's Tung Oil also, but it is really a wiping varnish - it builds up on the surface and that's not what I like.
@whenvaporsvanish The Danish will penetrate and leave nothing on the surface, which is what you are after in pistol grips. In fact a film finish may become slippery with palm sweat and cause some hand slippage while cycling rounds, which will throw your groupings off. I was a competition off hand shooter for several years, and my grips were wrapped in a single layer of 150 grit sand paper so my grip never fouled my shot groups.
@gilleslegatuke Lol, actually my parents went on a vacation to San Francisco and I was given that shirt. I know I wear it a lot in the videos, and I really should have some Six Gun shirts made up but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. It's a really comfortable shirt actually, that's why I wear it all the time.
