I just picked up a very good mechanical condition 19-3 nickel. The problem is the gun was very dirty so I have been cleaning up the finish with Flitz. I have returned the exterior finish to a condition near equal to the nickel finish under the grips but can't get in tight enough around the cylinder release button to polish the frame in that area. if i can remove the cylinder release button then I can complete. Can anyone provide any guidance. I don't know enough about the inner workings to know if i remove the screw to remove the button if I will cause a new problem when trying to replace the button. My fear is that since the button is spring loaded that if I remove the button the mechanism that engages the button will get pushed into the inside surface of the frame and then I won't be able to get the button back in.
Thanks
