Bob, be sure to take pictures while you work that ripping saw around the corner on the inside of the grip.

That pistol looks to have a decent sized barrel.  The ones I am working on have 11" smooth .54 cal barrels,

Multiple angled cuts get the inside curve cut quickly. Often times, by the time I set up the bandsaw , I could have done the work by hand . It really isn't that tough of a job. I can stop at any time,  go do something else, and then come back to it.
This particular piece will have a 12 in .62 smoothbore  barrel.
