If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.

Is it possible to remove the billboard logo?

I would like to remove the billboard from the slide and the "capable of firing with magazine removed" from the frame. Did someone here try to do it and if yes how? I think the gun would look much better witout these markings.

Thanks, D.

Sand it down some and then wipe it down with scotch brite to give that brushed look you desire. Remember there are 3 grades of scotch brite.
Maroon-medium
Brown-fine
White-super fine

I would use all three types (if you can find it) and then buff it by hand for the desired finish.
