Works Well But.....

Works well if the gun is electroless nickle plated. I put a chemically nickel plated 1911 in a glass dish with the stripper and set it in my sink with very hot water surrounding it. It took about three hours and it stripped all the nickel off easily. I had another nickel plated WWII 1911 that was plated with electricity and the stripper did nothing even after five days. If it is electro plated, just reverse the process with a battery and then use Caswells Copper strip to remove the copper flash coating.

Good job but costly

I used this kit to strip an S&W M25. I did a good job, but took the whole two bottle kit. I used Acetone to de grease all parts per the instructions. My first attempt at everything but the frame, after ~ 5 hours the 3 1/3 cups of mixed chemical were the color of dark coffee and most of the big parts, cylinder and yoke, were still plated. I then disposed of the used chemicals and replaced with 3 1/3 of fresh chemicals. This completed all of the parts. I then disposed of the second batch of used chemicals and mixed up the remaining chemicals as per the instructions and de plated the frame. It worked but I think it was a bit costly, local prices to strip were ~ 1/2 the cost of the kit.

slow but it works

it was slow 10 hr latter , i followed directions as discribed, it did work, gun was a old mauser m-hcs nickel plated by someone, if it was maybe warmer than 70 degrees it may have been faster,
