Absolutely agree with Big Cholla, steel on steel is asking for troubles. I use tools that are softer that the material I'm working on to avoid damaging the part - and reduce the chance of leaving "idiot marks". I thought the idea of putting the orange nylon safe chamber inidicator to some other useful purpose was a good idea. It could also be used to assist starting the slide release out of the frame for slide removal. I use brass tools on my steel parts, but think that nylon is a much better way to go with any of the Aluminum alloy pieces, like the frame assy.
