I actually prefer the "used a bit" look to new myself:

Rick you are right on but at some point you have to refinish the metal to make it last "forever" That is a beautiful gun with great wear, super nice looking but if say %60 of the finish is gone I would refinish it.

Talked to the owner this morning, he said 30 day turn around time. I think I will send the DW to him and see the results and then maybe send the New Agent and STI if it looks good. He seemed a pretty matter of fact guy.
As I think, I may do the whole pistol, not sure, what says the group? Concealed is concealed, so no worries there. My FTO forever ago carried a nickel 1911 and dipped the end of the barrel in shoe black enamel. When I asked, he told me "it scares the bejesus out of folks when you pull it on them, all they can see is a .70 caliber looking barrel pointing at them" I will post pics.

There are the 3 Hard Chrome places I have been researching for my SS Vbob. Also for my RIA compact, but I may Hardhat or Black Chrome or even go 2 tone.
Metalife (in PA only one state over!) Read they do take longer than what they say, but work has been good. Typical smaller family operation. I kind of like that! $155 to chrome Semiauto APW Cogan Great work more high volume in a big corporate setting. Heard very good things, and people highly reccomend them. They also do custom work. They are the second cheapest at $200 Metaloy Supposedly the original? Most expensive but they have that great Matte look that I like on a SS pistol. I may pay the extra, but what I am tripping over is I can get 2 guns done at Metalife vs 1 @ Metaloy. I am not sure if paying more $ is worth it over the other two? It's about $300 to chrome a semiauto Last edited by aqualungs; 02-11-2015 at 11:16 AM.
