I heard him say that you are polishing, not removing metal, but he didn't talk about the risk of over polishing and removing the hardened metal.

When I did my 442, I did the springs and some lubrication, but that was it. It helped a lot with the trigger pull and I was happy.
Exactly my point. I highly suspect, actually I more than suspect, that when you send your gun to the factory for a standard trigger job you aren't getting all that extra honing and polishing you see in that video. They do polish the rebound slide and hone the trigger/hammer sear surfaces somewhat though. The rest is done in the springs area. Probably a 1000-1200 cycles of dry firing will accomplish the same thing.
