General Cleaning / Shine polish to all areas. Careful not to remove too much from the YELLOW areas and the firing pin tip.
The Face area is what you want to get butt ass smooth.

When polishing any small part like the Glock safety plunger using buffung wheels on my grinder the part would at times go flying out and get damaged or temporarly lost. To help with that I create and print the Glock Safety Plunger Holder. I have different versions for different models and generations:
Plunger Holder.stl:
Gen 5:
Plunger Holder Shallow.stl
Gen 5:
Plunger Holder with Lip.stl – I am testing this one out. I added the lip to see if it would help hold the Glock Safety Plunger a bit better…
Plunger Holder G43 G48.stl
Plunger Holder G43 G48 Shallow.stl
Plunger Holder G43 G48 Reverse.stl
Plunger Holder G43 G48 Reverse Shallow.stl
I usually print these up when I have just a bit of filament left. Then toss it in a drawer till needed.
