Used Kahr PM9(How to polish the stainless steel slide)

[scandinavian01]

I found a used older Kahr PM9 for sale, and although the gun is in nice shape, the stainless slide looks alittle dull. What would be the best way to polish the slide to make it look new again?

Not sure what you mean by dull as the finish is supposed to be non-glare and sort of a satin finish.

Maybe it needs just a good cleaning?

Green Scotch-brite and dish detergent should clean it up.

this. Or any other kind of soft (but very firm) bristled kitchen brush. Dish soap works wonders on guns, just oil afterwards.

When you say polish, this would involve sanding, sanding, more sanding, keep sanding, and when you think you're done, keep sanding (all by hand) for hours and hours and days, then polishing for the same (getting a chrome like finish).......... its doable... by the patient man

I suggest using liguid Flitz & some cotton squares. You cam give it a light polish to clean it up & even out the satin finish. The more times you apply the Flitz & wipe it off the shinier it will get.
