Having just received my first ever 1911A1 "Loaded" earlier this week, I managed to put the legendary "idiot mark" on it thanks to the slide frame. (Feel like such a tool!) I've been a reader of THR now for quite some time. However, my decision to buy a 1911 was rather sudden and I didn't do my homework on this particular problem beforehand. (So I didn't utilize the playing card, or tape underneath the slide stop). I've got the stainless steel model #PI9132L. Hopefully, since this is stainless with the "brushed" finish or similiar. My mission is to buff this sucker out, at any means possible. Do any of you THR'ers have a particular method of getting rid of these or any other scratches on stainless guns with the finish such as mine? Would Flitz! and a Scotch-Brite pad do the trick? Any suggestions appreciated..I've done the searching in numerous forums but nothing pertaining to this exact issue on this gun. Thanks again and I love this 1911! (Except for the scratch).
