    A dremel & Flitz polish won't do the job for you?

    Does great for polishing. Now if you need to actually remove material, then not so much.

      If it's not too much of a drive for you, alex45auto is great at 1911 work. You should get in contact with him.

        Are you talking about external polish for looks? Or internal polishing for function? Because there isn't a big (if any) functional benefit in internal polishing. Any small benefits from internal polishing, like smoother feel, will come naturally from shooting it more. If you're talking about a trigger job, then yes you need a good 1911 smith.

          If you're just polishing parts, you can do it yourself.

          Just look at youtube videos with complete 1911 tear downs.

          Easy work once you learn.
