It's really pretty darn easy. I was scared at first too.

Get over the initial fear and you got her licked. It's super easy and you can do the whole thing in 10 minutes easy.

Also easy to lighten up the cheese grater backstrap everyone hates. It's that initial fear that gets ya.

I wouldn't say 10 minutes, but I definitely got this one done faster than my g26. For sure it's the fear. I did it on a gun I knew I'd never get rid of and started really really slow. Take lots of breaks!

Nice video! I bet almost everybody gets a burn from the soldering iron. I know I would.

Just a word of caution. A note to Kahr Service produced the following results. According to Jay D'Andrea of Kahr Arms, stippling of the frame will void the warranty on the frame as stippling permanently alters the frame.

Believe me when I write If you kept an Alvaro Plant you likely would not hurt by at least 80% with burns. I always have for home/shop burns. Quickly break leaf of plant off and apply insides to your burn. Give it a try. Honestly it works almost instantly.

Good point. I tend to mess with my stuff but do so knowing I am probably voiding warranty. Another reason for me to generally buy used.
