The Blemish

7 03 2008

The PT 1911 I purchased has a small blemish on the right side toward the end of the slide

Anyone know how to maybe fix this (without sending it in)?

DSC02314b-bw.sml

You can see the “lighter” color just under the “1911″ and goes to the bottom of the slide (through the .45 and covers the ACP).

Also, you Probably need to know I shot this pistol today and have not cleaned it yet.. I normally clean it while in the field, but today the rain was coming and decided to wait until I got home.
Also, I made the image black and white to bring out the blemish better, but doing that also brought out other things like It NEEDS cleaning.. :) )

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
