Anyone know of a place to get a slide refinished ? I was lucky to find a slide for my Glock 23 but it could use a refinish of the type used on them.... I am in Virginia Beach but could send it to just about anywhere,,Local prefered... Any help appreciated...

Glock uses a proprietary finish process.
you could try Dura Coat

Excellent Suggestion... I looked them over and it is a definitely a viable alternative to the the other methods I've seen/

Did you want to refinish the slide in Black or in another color or perhaps even have it plated ?

There are many choices for finishes. I would be happy to help or answer any refinishing questions that you may have

Brad I am looking to bring it back to as close as the original Glock finish as possible.. The slide came from a LE Glock and has holster wear ( quite a bit) that I;d like to remedy ..I d be interested in hearing watcha got.. Sure others would be interested too..

Maybe Cerakote:

i took all of the black finish off of my g19 with a wire wheel on a air grinder, it looks like dull stainless , and it will not rust. bcuse of the tennifer finish. s&w uses melonite on thiers , and i hear it is the same as glock's. all of the other finishes will wear . except for hard chrome.

Salt-bath nitriding by any other name...

David Bowie does very good work.

Cerakote is the new finish that kelttec is using on some guns. It's ceramic based as opposed to duracoat which is epoxy based.
