I did it again... Polished Slide... USP Compact

R1Style · August 29th, 2008, 12:13

Aquired another pistol with an orange tip (KWA USP Compact)... This time I tried to remove the tip carefully with acentone but it was super annoying and didn't work out so well.

So... I've decided to buy a marked slide instead but I thought maybe somebody might be interested in the original metal slide if I polished.

I've only just started and let me tell you, this thing is a bitch to polish. The slide has so many angles and litle nooks I'm realy close to giving up lol.
I'm done for today because I ran out of sand paper and my fingers are killing me but I think I'll finish it this weekend.

Here are some pics i took with my iPhone.

I find the polished slides sexy as hell, but in an op the last thing you need is a whole lot of shine coming out of your holster!

Literally 5-6 hours later and i'm done.
I forgot to get a nice pic of it when i was outside but the top of the slide was left black.
