Its a rubber based "burr" that is impregnated with abrasive.
It comes in 3 grades and is the best stuff on the market. It can cut faster and put a better polish on steel than anythinh else out there.
It comes in several shapes. I find myself using the bullet nosed shape more than anything. With a Dremel, you can get a mirror finish fast.

Just my .02, but I've found that in the past I have tended to ease the slide back into position on the first round rather than let it slam home ... as would happen on subsequent rounds.FNP-9er said:

Ti - not trying to be pedantic but - if round is picked up, stripped off mag - then, extractor is ''pre-engaged'' on rim - which should be no probs. ''Sling-shotting'' the slide is a good way to ensure guaranteed battery - no different from regular cycling.
If however a round is pre-chambered and then slide dropped hard then yeah - I'd agree about extractor - because it has to harshly encounter and go round the case. Stressing it excessively.

This is why I dis-agree with some manufactures that advertise 6+1 or 7+1 or whatever on a semi-auto hand gun. It gives the impression that it is o.k. to load a round in the chamber and also have a full magazine loaded with 6 or 7 rounds whatever it holds and slame the slide home on a round.
When really all they are doing is trying to advertise a better round count and gennerally this is a bad thing to do and will cause harm to your firearm eventually.

Chris is right..... I also use the Simachrome after using a Dremmel, along with a ultra fine wheel/ tool on the Dremmel... Using the fine grit tools will allow you to get some of that roughness out of the ramp. Take the Barrel out and do the job........then build it up to a shine, using th epolishing compounds..P95Carry said:

I'm afraid I'm having trouble understanding. Are you talking about manually placing a single round in the chamber, through the ejection port, then releasing the slide (on the chambered round), then inserting the magazine? Does anyone actually do this?Ti Carry said:
With guns that I keep with a round chambered, I always insert the mag, rack the slide to chamber the top round, then remove and top off the magazine, and re-insert it. I assumed everyone did it this way, what cause would anyone have to ever release the slide on top of a chambered round?

Ignorance. Not the malicious kind, just the "I really didn't know" kind. A friend once loaded a round that way in my Commander. I politely corrected him because he really didn't know. Personally I have no problems loading guns with external extractors this way. Internal extractors aren't so forgiving.Bruces45 said::buttkick: Why on gods green earth would anyone do it like that.
