This video showcases a corrosion repair on a heavily carried early model MK3 Hi-Power pistol. The firearm exhibits significant corrosion and pitting, likely due to frequent In The White (ITW) carry and exposure to substances like "human pepper juice." The gunsmith demonstrates the process of resurfacing the damaged areas and applying a cobalt finish to conceal the blemishes. Viewers are challenged to identify which side of the pistol underwent the repair, adding an interactive element to the demonstration.
