I have polished my glock barrel and other small parts but never had a mirror finish like this. I already talked to this guy and he charges $150 to polish slide barrel and all small internals.

what you guys think?

Not my cup of tea. Looks interesting though.

you...clean yours?

I would never remove the Tenifer coating. I did polish all my internals in my Glocks, and it did smooth the trigger up a tad. If you need help with it, I've done it enough to do it for you.

I polish my internals too, especially with a 3.5 rocket trigger, nice smooth pull.

hahaha I would never do this to a carry gun or a duty gun, just as a range gun to show off.

I would, but that's a $1400 range toy.

I have tried the mirror polishing thing on my Glocks, and I believe you can get smoother action by just buffing everything lightly with some emery cloth. The smoother a surface is, the more contact area it presents to whatever it is sliding across. More contact area = more drag, and a greater likelihood of "stick-slip." If you just buff everything up a bit without excessive polishing, you leave some microscopic texture on the surfaces which actually slides better than a mirror polish on non-lubricated surfaces.

Nahhh I'd rather just spend an extra $150 to make my $495 g21 extra shiny and catch people's eye

Tenifer is not a coating. Its a process that hardens the steel. So hard that you can use a glock slide to sharpen a knfe.

After the Tenifer process, a black Parkerized finish is applied and the slide is protected even if the finish were to wear off.


You can remove it and the tenifer treatment is still there.

The black coating is just that. A coating like paint or a chemical that darkeens the metal.

I learn something new everyday. I still would never do this to any of my guns now, but I can see myself buying a G26 or a G21 as a project gun and polishing the barrel on that. I'd get a G22 but I can't stand .40

I'm getting this done up on a G21. (no homo)

Ahahahahahaha it looks pretty nice though. As I said in an earlier post, never do it for a duty or a carry gun, just a show gun.

 

[Marcus5aurelius]

Trying to make a glock look good is pointless IMO

It's a Glock. Glocks are not "show" guns. Do you polish hammers? That's what polishing a Glock is like.

I loved to bling my glock. I'm in progress installing 2 set gangster sight on the glock slide (both left & right side). This will allow ambidextrous sight for both left and right hand gangster shooter. Laser engraved LV on the slide is awesome. I might add Gucci and Prada logo too.

[JohnMarston]

I am half expecting Gaston Glock to show up at my door and bitch slap me just for posting these.

Top one looks sick imo.

DUDE WERD TO YA MAMMA!

Seriously, buy one.

 

[M1911]

If you really want a nickel-plated sissy pistol, why did you buy a Glock?

 

[FREDDY401]

I polish my internals too

This is a family forum, please keep it non-sexual.

 

[oilspill]

Dude.

I would never consider polishing a glock because they are not good looking guns to begin with inmo. They are utilitarian tools with purpose, and that purpose does not involve "show". 1911s, or something more aesthetically pleasing are better candidates for polishing, engraving, or other detailing, at least inmo. I have had thoughts lately of polishing my SR1911 since it's all stainless anyway. I just don't really like the 2-tone look of guns with polymer lowers at all. I really want a PM9 for a new carry gun, but can't seem to ever find an all black one. Seems like the 2-tone is all I ever see for sale either new, or used. I'm all for polished internals for function, though.

Lou @ Business End Customs did a Cerakote job on my G27 slide and everyone who has seen it thinks it looks awesome.
