Feels like an expensive action job
I used both the medium and fine versions with the prescribed FlexHone oil. Chucked in a padded vise at a convenient working angle under a light, I used a quick,rythmic in and out motion to achieve a somewhat crosshatch pattern that becomes shiny with the fine stones. The purpose of the motion is to avoid "grooving" the spring bore and I would allow the hone to "dwell" at the bottom of the strokes every few seconds to avoid tapering of the bore. Using a long tailed mainspring cap with a tapered end (like factory Colt parts) will act as a better guide rod and contribute to a smooth feeling cocking stroke that makes your pistol feel like a finely tuned custom!
