What do you mean by "polish"? A couple of of strokes with 800 grit on the top?

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.

It really depends on the trigger group. All sliding surfaces should be smooth, all sears sharp, everything square and true. I usually do it by sticking emery paper on plate-glass with water, then polish components as needed. Grit would be anything from 400 to 1200 or even burnishing stones. guns that get stripped and lubed often get a finer finish than work guns, my theory is that sears actually work on an oil-film, i don't know if it makes much difference down range though. lol.
