removing copper mark on Sig nitron coated slide
I recently noticed on the slide of my sig p229, what I think is a mark from an fmj fragment . It appeared after firing at an indoor range. The mark is just forward of the rear site. I've looked at it through a loop and it does not look like the nitron coating is damaged. The mark is driving me crazy and I want it gone but am worried about damaging the nitron finish. Does anyone have any suggestions or knowledge about what sig's nitron coating can stand up to? I was thinking of trying some break-free copper remover but I want to be sure it's safe first. Any help would be much appreciated.

Use a little Kroil and a tooth brush.
