    Scandium is an aluminum alloy, so when it oxidizes it gets little black pits like stainless steel. When I blast the revolver, the factory finish comes off. None of the finishes I have applied would...

    I've had a couple and I hate that lacquer finish that S&W puts on them. I've had them refinished by the factory (same problem occurred) and I've used two different finishes myself with good results....

    If only, we have about 600 issued M&Ps on the road now but we don't allow mods to them. If we did, we'd be fixing dremel jobs every week. If I ever buy a personal one, the first thing I will do is...

    Those were great photos, the striker channel liner looks great and the plunger looks fine too. I would replace the extractor and spring assembly first, the bottom of your extractor is starting to...

    What is the condition of your striker channel liner? Sometimes if those get scored, they need to be replaced. Also, I assume you don't oil the striker assembly, that can draw crud in fast too. ...
