Hi,

My blood was stuck on the gun (just little blemish from a cut )and I found that it could not be removed with a oiled kitchen towel. The gun is matte
stainless finish.

The blood trace may add some characters to the gun :p but I want it
gone. lol

Thank you for your tips.
To make this a legit post in pistol forum, the gun is my newly acquired 1911 pistol.

Hydrogen peroxide works pretty well to remove blood, though I have no idea if it would harm your finish. I supposed you could dilute it in some water and try that, before using it full strength.
Good luck.
 
Well,thank you all for those excellent advices. I tried the concentrated loundry detergent just now (using a swab and apply a layer of oil after wiping out the residual). It has worked. A nice clean and beautiful gun again.
 
I think so. The slide is so stiff and the gun is tight being a brand new virgin 1911 (not anymore:D). And the target sight helped to create some relatively sharp edges as well:redface:.
At one point, the gun failed to feed. I don't know why (still don't know, but maybe my grips and forearm control were too soft and weak).
But after I straighted my wrist and grips, the problem was gone.

It is a SW 1911 target model.

Blood is water soluable, put a damp cloth on it for a while to soften it and it should come off. Ht or warm water should soften it up fairly quick. once off dry well and oil.
 
lol. I have this on both of my stainless hunting rifle. Frankly I love them. I know exactly how much work I did to get the rust stain there in the first place, I know exactly where it is, and I know that it didn't impact ther performance of either rifle.

I took a toothbrush with clr to it. Then dishsoap and hot water to remove any clr, then just light oil. It is still there, but I think that it is as clean as I'd want it.
 
just an FYI for anyone with this problem in the future...try saliva. seriously.

My aunt is a seamstress and she was making a (very white) wedding dress for someone, and she pricked her finger with a needle...the only thing that would get the fabric snow white again was saliva. I guess it has the right "ingredients" to break up blood.

I'm thinking that if you were to put some on a rag and wipe the SS slide, it would've worked as well.

cheers,
 
Good ol'rubbing(isopropyl) alcohol, about $1.50 for a bottle.....but usually everyone has a bottle in the washroom cabinet.

(In fact, depending on how old the blood is, hand sanitizer which is about half the alcohol content-ethanol- by weight may work too)
