Slide Refinish Advice? Login/Join

Bought a third gen smith online. Not really happy with the condition upon its arrival, but I can't get the seller to respond. Chalk it up to never doing business with them again and I now have a gun that needs to have the slide refinished (my assessment, others may not agree).

Anyway, I am curious what the forum recommends for slide finish. I would like something more durable than cera-kote, so... Would Coyotekiller or CCR be who I'm looking for or would something like ion-bond be a better option. Just want a basic black with corrosion resistance.

Robar would be another viable option.

I recommend CCR as well. Long wait sometimes, but stellar work.

As most 3rd gen S&Ws have stainless steel slides, you might consider just a simple bead blasting and go from there.

I have had excellent experiences with ROBAR and CCR.

CCR is an active, contributing member here at SIGforum.

I had my P230 slide done by CCR (lots of finish wear on it when I bought it). Looks better than new now...just amazing work.

Ccr refinishing, excellent jobs for me. Better call Mary ASAP. Ask if they have any specials or upcoming specials. Very good folks.

I’ve used all of those mentioned so far and have been very pleased with Robar. Also Birdsong Black-T has been fantastic.

CoyoteKiller and CCR offer great finishes, but my personal preference would be Ion Bond DLC (black).

Club Custom Guns, Denton , NC offers this process at the best prices , I have had several slides done by them (they are the middleman), normally a bare slide will cost around $100 for Ion Bond in matte or satin, not sure what the polished option would run.

I had my Walther PPS slide and barrel treated with Ion Bond 2 years ago, with daily carry in various holsters and usage , looks like it was just treated.

CCR. Brad and Mary have served the Forum well for years.

The thing about refinishing is that like most things there are a number of folks/shops that do it well. CCR has done it well for a long time right here on the forum. Hard to beat that.

Another vote for CCR.

They really did a good job on my police trade in P226.

Please tell me that's their CPII Dusk.

I have a P229 slide, and a CZ75 Compact @ CCR now to get refinished in CPII Dusk. If either look anywhere near that fantastic when they return, then I'll be blown away.

I've had coyotekiller do a few slides for me and they look amazing. His turn around time is pretty quick as well.

I'm gonna clean up the slide to a shootable condition and then function test it before making any decisions on coatings.

Does ccr have a color chart with pics online somewhere? I'm kinda leaning toward the cera-hide right now, but didn't see a list of available colors in my cursory exam of their web page.
