This one also this week. Some one duracoated it So it looks like black paint I sent it off to be stripped, parkerized, and bought repro checkered walnut grips like a WWII Colt. I wouldn’t normally refinish but in this case the black paint had to go

This is a different customer gun they did and what I am hoping mine will turn out like

Should be another sweet little carry gun.   Were the black rubber grips painted with Duracoat too?

That poor pistol. That Duracoat just never looks good to me. But your idea of parkerizing and wood grips will look good on it.

No at least those were left alone

I've got one that was in a fire. I always wanted to rebuild it but never got around to it. I could probably buy one cheaper. I dunno why anybody would duracoat a gun. To me it looks like crap. I'd rather have a bucket full of rust and pits than duracoat.
