pollishing a turd?

[ls81]

I've had a bit of a love affair with a bitone xdm but she's not the one for me.

I'm eyeing up a glock again, but i want my glock to be different. I would like to achieve the bitone look brushed stainless that the xdm has on the glock slide.

I know most of you wouldn't do it and i'm ruining a perfectly good slide. Glock will refinish the slide if i destroy it. They will of course charge me for my stupidity.

I do not want a mirror polish i just want to remove the black coating thats applied to help protect the tenifer finish of the slide.

How would you go about this.
I am thinking doing it by hand with remoil ans steel wool very fine or extremely fine sand paper. if you all have any other suggestions please let me know.

And here I thought this was going to be about chrome plating a hi point.......

Get ahold of a Talo edition Glock or send the slide of a black Glock off to have it Cerakoted. I would not just polish the slide because removing the finish will increased the chance of rust.

The "tenifer" is the not the finish. It is a heat treatment process done to the slide to increase surface hardness and help increase corrosion resistance. You will have to take a good amount of material off of the slide to get past that.

You know there are some models with a nickel coated slide option right?

This... Look into NiB-x finish.

IIRC my friend soaked his Glock slide in Vinegar. The finished product looked really nice.

I soaked a Rifle barrel in Vinegar and stripped it to bare metal in no time. Since the finish was going to be camo, I did not put on a fancy Finish, just spray paint.

i will keep the nickel borron finish in mind thank you.
