    than oil it up and it will slide much smoother.

    Little bit of love goes a long way.
    In the end after 20 min of cleaning and polishing its a good looking, smooth sliding, good shooter for $350. Believe it or not some guys run these in IPSC.
    What's your favourite method of polishing?

    A dremel with appropriate bit/disk, can use a bench grinder with appropriate buffer wheel etc.
    Ask a rep at the store, explain what your trying to accomplish and they should sort you out with the appropriate dremel disk/bit, or grinder wheel needed.

    important not to sand or grind as to not remove material, just want to smooth things out a bit where metal meets metal.

    - Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
    - Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

    At risk of sounding simple, what's the appropriate bit?

    After proper cleaning and lube! Just shoot these guns guy's!!! Keep them wet and get them warm,hot!! They will smooth out quite well after several hundred rounds. don't grind away any metal?? Some guys have used small amounts of valve lapping compound to speed up the breakin. Just regular stuff from Crappy Tire!!

    Just bumping this older thread to see if anyone has swapped the front sight? (yes with hi viz)
    Is the cut on the slide some sort of standard cut? (other sights will fit easily?)



    Cheers,

    Anyone had issues with the rear sight adjustment? 2 of my friends have the chrome ones and they are way out of wack, the rear is all the way to the left and it wont adjust to the right at all like it was installed off center to begin with or something. Im not talking about the sight base but the adjustable rear portion with the 2 dots.
