Brent D Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Can anyone help with what tools/materials to use for "polishing" when working on my Shadow trigger. I want to touch up a few of the polished areas that were already done at the custom shop when I purchased it. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I use 1000 + grit sand paper on flat spots (sides of the trigger bow and hammer) and a felt wheel with automotive polishing compound on everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 On a CZ you may not be able to take all of the tooling marks out, some are to deep. The Custom shop does good trigger jobs, I don't think you will be able to get it much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Flitz is pretty popular with polishing Glocks internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent D Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Thanks for the input, and I agree about the trigger that was done on my Shadow Custom, it is very nice. I wanted to polish the sides of the trigger bow as it wasn't done. I don't know if it should have been, but wanted to see if it would make any small difference in the DA pull. I just did it with 600 grit paper, and as you noted, couldn't get all the machine marks out, but I didn't try to either. I followed it up with a felt pad and polish using my Dremmell. Looks great!, but when all was back together, didn't really do much, but may have smoothed it out a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Combination of stones, diamond polishing sticks/hones, polishing wheel/compound and sandpaper. all have a place and purpose for where they are best used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The custom shop polishes a bunch of parts that when put together yield improvements. Singular modifications to parts after they've been polished will be almost imperceptible. The biggest gain is actually shooting the gun and continuing the "bedding" process so to speak. As an aside, when polishing the sides of the trigger bow make sure you lay it flat on a piece of glass with the polishing medium on the glass as well.

Jeff Matzka Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Also, if I'm not mistaken, the outside surfaces of the trigger bow rubs up against the frame of the gun. Therefore in order to get the smoothest feeling DA trigger pull possible, the surfaces on the frame where the trigger bow rubs should also be polished.
