That's a very nice stippling job. Personally, I prefer a fairly smooth backstrap, so the OEM patters works well for me. I find that makes it easier to form my grip on the draw, and adjust if needed. As with nearly all guns, the stock P-07 lacks grip high on the sides, where a modern thumbs-forward grip applies pressure.

Here’s a mod I made to an armorer’s block to make it easy to remove the hammer spring plug. Tip of a dummy round, held in place by part of a dog poop bag core.

Nice! I have been fighting this battle using a very small socket, but it is still a pain. This looks great. Going to mod my block.
Speaking of changing parts to increase reliability, do you all recommend changing to stock TRS to a CGW TRS? Supposedly this increases durability and longevity.
I have the CGW TRS in all of my P-07s. I have had over 100k cycles on those springs in my S2s, so I'm satisfied that they are solid.
The newest P-07s appear to use upgraded parts, including a different-looking TRS. So, it's probably unnecessary if you have a new one, unless you are trying to reduce the DA pull (which I want to do).

I’m going through a debate right now about what I want to do long term handgun wise. According you, the P-07 is not super difficult to detail strip. After watching a video of it done, I don’t know. lol My mechanical skills are limited to tire changes and filter changes!
So I want to make my guns last as long as as possible without detail stripping. Thus I’m trying to compile a list of CWG parts that do this. A smoother pull wouldn’t be bad, but a lighter pull is not my main goal.
You don't have to do a full detail strip to replace the TRS, but unless you have 1000's of cycles on it I don't think it's necessary.
The only really hard part is setting the tip of the decocker spring.
Lighter and smoother go hand-in-hand with the P-07, but again I think a mostly OEM gun is just fine. But... a full Prograde P-07 is even better.

My mechanical aptitude is about the same. Personally I had more trouble installing an Apex trigger in an M&P than I did with the CGW parts for my P-07.
I don't run a very light DA trigger mostly because of reliability issues with the lighter mainsprings...but the SA trigger on this pistol is worth it. And the DA still hangs around 8lbs
