Congrats on that nice looking Springfield and your first 1911, pitor! They're like Lays potato chips, you know. Nobody can have just one and you'll crave more.

Well, that certainly sucks ! Not that it helps any but there's plenty of those floating around out there.
With it being stainless hopefully it can be corrected (polished out) fairly painlessly. Post a pic when you can.

I do plan to polish the scratch out as best as I can. I'm going to used mother's Polishing Compound. I wonder if I should polish by hand or with a power tool like a Dremel?
