I really like the look of the polished slide on the bi-tone models. Is it a bad idea to have these slides refinished?

Do you know anyone who could do this at a decent price? Would the etched text stay there?

I can't see any reason that slide cannot be hard chromed or some similar finish. There should be someone here who has experience with a plating shop that can help you out.

You're talking about taking the coating off, right.

If so, I thought it could just be polished off.

You want it to look like this ?

Threetango,
That looks sharp, can you polish the finish off and have it look like or do I need to buy a new slide?

Yup, just like that.

Been out of town since Friday.
Just remembered, you can't just polish the coating off or it will rust, so you will need to have someone like the guys Callmaker suggested, or my link below to work on it and protective coat it.

You might contact Springfield to see if they would sell the slide.
