There's a difference between polishing and the ramp adjustment you probably saw on the 1911s. A careful polish removes a minimum of metal (in the 1/1000" range), so it's not detrimental to the function. You can really get in trouble if you change the geometry though, not to mention a ham handed throating of the chamber.
