My Hard Chromed Dan Wesson Pointman 9

Well Chris got back to me regarding the guide rod and recoil spring plug:

When the guide rod and plug are stainless we usually do not plate them. They really do not need it and with the recoil spring sliding up and down the rod constantly it tends to really scratch the rod and looks terrible. If sometime in the future you do want them plated we would do it and no cost. Judgement call on our end.

We are so glad you are pleased with the result and appearance.

I guess he makes a good point about the scratching. Maybe I'll hold off on that for now and if I change my mind I'll send those parts to him.

I was thinking of this too, probably they don't do it because it would look like shit compared to just leaving it alone. The rod is a wear part and nobody ever plates them with anything, hard chrome or otherwise.

Yeah it made sense after reading his email.
