I like that look on the M&P. Might have to do the same on mine.

could you tell me what to use and how to do that please?? it looks awsome.
is it stailess underneath or will it rust ??
thanks

Since they are using Stainless on the slide... I'd be really surprised if it was not a Stainless barrel/guide-rod.

Polishing = Buffing wheel?

 

[DIRTYCLEAN]

started by a soak for 30 min in vinigar then rubbed whit a clean cloth (gives a tactical gray finish, almost left it like that), than used a fine sanding paper ( 1200 ) than,to polish it to miror finish i used a dremel tool whit a buffer weel and the red stuff that is used for metals.

 

[mpjustin]

thanks, what red stuff though???

 

[Katana]

Be sure to give us a rust report in a few months. Maybe I'll do mine then

 

[drvrage]

red stuff is jewellers rouge.

I have a steel mag release on my XD, it hasn't rusted yet in 2+ years. I also don't shoot it very often or use a holster when I do.

It looks good though. All of my guns now have a shiny barrel.

Be sure to give us a rust report in a few months.

That would presume that, by that time, it hasn't already been listed in the EE for , say, $900.

 

[mpjustin]

a while back I think someone posted pics oF one with the whole slide done.

 

[IM_Lugger]

I polished the slide flats on mine a while back

Geez you guys outta start a photo thread for your polished rockets....

 

[mercer]

I did my barrel using 600 grit and buffed with a dremel. I didn't use vinegar and I might sand again with 1000 or 1200 grit for a smoother look but I'm happy with these results. It took about an hour.

Sometimes polished barrel hoods look cool....

 

[tritium4ever]

Man the M&P looks really nice like that. I knew the slide was SS but I wasn't aware the barrel was also stainless. I just might have to do the same on my M&P...
