    That's not an idiot scratch, that's an I used a bronze brush scratch.

    Leave it.

    If you must tell people you fended off 9 attackers weilding machetes, the first 8 you shot and the 9th you smacked with your Kimber thus the scratch.

      What kind of finish is it? If it's stainless, you can probably polish it out with some metal polish.

Or should I just get the pistol parkerized? The gun was purchased used with some wear and scratches already.

        Thanks!
        before you do anything.. check out my idiot scratch fix first... very easy to do.. assuming ur Kimber is stainless.

              Only idiots care if a gun is scratched.
              California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.

                      You'd buy a premium car that's been keyed across the drivers side for full asking price?

                        If it is stainless, a Birchwood Casey Lead Remover and polishing cloth *might* remove it without making it worse. See: https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Clean...oth-6-x-9.aspx If it is blued or has some other finish, this polishing cloth may take the finish off.

                        Or maybe you can send the scratched part back to Kimber to be re-finished.
