Right side frame together


The metal needed to be protected. I needed a finish, but what finish do you put on a 389 dollar truck pistol? I had it hot blued. Nothing fancy just simple hot blueing. Here is how it looked when i got it home.

Here is how it looks now, 2 months and 2000 rounds of 9mm later. Yeah it shows some wear, some marks but overall it is not bad.





Here you begin to see the only major thing that i have a bit of concern for. There is some tiger striping in the finish that was not there prior to my move here. Currently the guns are locked up, wrapped in silicone cloths. My best guess is the silicone is causeing the the discoloration.



You can see that the grips are rubbing against the finish and taking it off the high spots.

More shots of the tiger striping

Well after talking with MPrimo and doing a bit of digging around on the internet. I rushed out and bought this:

I didn't buy any blast media, because they did not have what I was looking for in stock. I want to buy the following:

100/170 glass bead; and
90-120 granite blast media.
