glock slide: LCF

[chrisward3]

hey guys,

ive always wanted to chrome/nickel plate the slide of a glock. i have a G22 i use for IPSC production, so thats out (modding the finish)...but i have a G27 that i wouldnt mind doing.

Who does this? and how much can i expect to pay for a good job? im looking at the slide only, and leaving the black barrel, and the black slide cover plate. kind of a two-tone thing like in bad boys II.

lemme kno!

You could just polish it yourself. It's dead easy. And no, you don't have to worry about the tennifer, it's deeper than the black coating.

chris if you plate your g22 then you cant use it in production.
stupid but true.

is that just entail sanding the black finish off?

NO! Don't do any sanding at all. All you need is metal polishing compound and a Dremel tool with a buffing wheel. It's a very gentle process. A light touch is all that's needed.

Look at Questar's section on Glocks..

Check out this one. It took the guy several hours and he used a 6" bench grinding machine with a buffing wheel attached. That, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. WOW Personally I think it's just a bit ostentatious. But then again, I've got a Gold Ti Desert Eagle so who am I to judge.

ahah i couldnt even see it at first, how would you even be able to aim that thing, light would be reflecting everywhere. id prefer a matte silver finish lol
