I still think using the polish paste would be a good start. If the gun has a "brushed" stainless finish, where they use something to impart a "grain" in the finish lengthwise, versus something like a Colt hi polish stainless which is mirror bright like nickel, if you go using alot of abrasives on it, you will wipe away the brushed finish look and have a smooth shiny spot surrounded by the brushed finish. Then you will have to polish the whole flats on each side of the slide to look even. If you want flawless, you leave the gun in it's box and keep it in a safe. Did you buy it as an investment safe queen or a shooter? When fixing flaws like that, always start with the least aggresive method versus going at it with an emery board and reaching the point of no return quickly!
