I'm thinking about polishing my SP101. I want to make it very shiny. Anyone done this? What's the best way to go about it?

Yeah it will deputy. I figure I can have one that looks real nice. My SP101 is a good candidate. With a nice polished look and some of Jim's inserts, she'll be a real looker.

years back, i knew an officer who had bought a "miror polish" 1911. He tried carrying it for off-duty but quickly quit because of all of the little scratches tha would show up. :evil:

I'm going to try and make my SP101 that shiny. Of course I'll have to comb someone else's hair in it.

You should use a good buffer with three types of wheels, felt for flat surfaces, stitched for round surfaces getting heavy polishing, and loose or unstitched for fine polishing on uneven surfaces. Hand work on edges or rounded internal areas should be done with a backing to stay flat and even and avoid lobbing and uneven edges. Detail work with a Dremel tool must be carefully done.

I sold my SP101 to Eddie a long while back.
