The interior of a 1911 slide experiences significant wear and tear. However, honing the critical components results in a smoother surface, thereby reducing friction and wear. The treated surface not only exhibits an attractive shine but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance. This improvement is due to the treatment's ability to increase the metal's capacity to retain oil and lubricants. The honing process utilizes a fine 800 grit abrasive. Silicon carbide abrasive with fine grit Helically contorted steel shafts engineered for optimized torsional performance and structural integrity Utilization requires the application of Flex-Hone oil to ensure optimal performance and maintain the integrity of the tool's abrasive surface
