Mike Orlen has long since given up stock bending.
I recently had an 0 frame stock bent DOWN about 1/4" with good success. Mitch Shultz did it for me, but he has just retired. He had a very good reputation. The key was that he took his time. It was in the fixture for over 10 days. It crept back a little bit the first time hee removed it, so he put it back in the fixture and gave it heat/oil for another 5 days. I was aiming for 2 3/4" and was satisfied with 2 9/16". I have had two other guns bent and the one I wanted bent upward had a very fine crack develop.
I use a Beretta stick on Gel riser with good luck. It looks like hell, but works
