Anyone who has one of these knows that case extraction/ejection can be a bit of a problem. The tapered case and the high pressure of the round often add up to sticky extraction.

Is there a safe home brew method for doing a monumentally light buffing of the chambers, a minuscule amount at a time to polish them just enough to see even the slightest bit of difference without wrecking the cylinder of my Blackhawk?

Tools, compounds, methods? And for the inevitable "take it to a gunsmith", anyone know what I might expect to pay for such a task?

Thank you.
