That will work to get after the deep stuff but a proper finish will require a motor mounted wheel. Harbor freight has everything you need for this with the proper compounds.
I saw that one. It is a beat up piece. Makes me leery of it on the whole. I have owned a couple of them. They are shooters.
It is in the older blue box. Not sure how old it is.Thanks. Interesting.
Agreed about the leery part, just do not know.

What about it is beat up? I see the idiot marks but nothing else stands out.
Gotta agree on the leary, I would want to do a real good inspection on the internal parts, frame and, slide. Anyone that could bugger up a slide just by trying to put the slide stop in makes me wonder what else could be chewed up. Lot of coin for that unknown. Don't mean to bash the gun.
I agree. How do you know this piece is beat up?What about it is beat up? I see the idiot marks but nothing else stands out.

Yea that about covers it. But as you should know your opinion carries weight around INGO site, so stating that anothers item is "BEAT UP" may just throw up a red flag. Seller did state that the item had some flaws (scratches ). Saying its beat up is a stretch and should be left to a potential buyer to decide on his or her own. Put the shoe on the the other foot! How would CM feel if your item was labeled BEAT UP?[/QUOTE
I realize this and have tried to express it is up to the buyer to decide.
Just expressing a personal opinion. Again no knock on that gun.
I will refer back to my analogy on buying a used car and also what BWF stated. It all holds water.
I hope the best for seller/buyer
It's hard to tell from the pictures how bad they are being polished stainless. I would start with some fine/very fine (often maroon or grey color) scotchbrite from the hardware store (not to be confused with what you see at the grocery etc.). I'd try that before breaking out the sand paper or any power tools. Tape off any bead blasted areas and run with the grain.
The slab side of the slide frame on this piece requires I keep after it. Red scotch brite with the grain as a touch up. They can and will get scratched. Not sure how much of a deep scratch this would deal with but yes, a solid point to start from.
