Smoothing a pistol action

[N.H.Yankee]

Years ago I knew of a few guys who would take the side plate off their revolver and fill it with either light rubbing compound, clean it after a 100 trigger pulls and then fill it with polishing compound, repeat 100 trigger pulls clean and lube. I've never tried it but was wondering if anyone has?

Speaking as a factory trained armorer, I can tell you this is a very bad idea.
Please don't do this to your revolver.
