Is this shiny enough for YOU? :)

That is what I do to on knife blades. The key to removing scratches is changing the direction of sanding by 90 degrees each time you change grit so you are sanding across the scratches from the previous grit. That could prove to be tought on a 1911 slide without rounding the flats a bit. I bet you could come upt with a ficture to hold the slide.

That's good advise, thanks!

Very nice Stan!!

I would use a surface plate, or flat surface for 1911 flats, would preserve the edges and allow you to go any direction....

I'm thinking a surface grinder would be the way to go. I actually have access to one, I think I just may do that next time.

That is really awesome looking.

Thanks!

That does look sweet! What are you going to do after you blast it? duracoat, ceracoat?

Stan, I have to admit, you sell yourself short on what you can do...

Looks great.

For 1911 flats I use a 12"x12" piece of polished granite with a straight edge one side. It works great for brushing the flats of the slide.
