Racer 27 37 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Good question. The Scheels in my area has 6 Glock 22s for $325 to 395. I was wondering the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I would call Glock. The last one I took them they refinished for free after upgrades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 well some guys like to just buy a new slide from wolff, others have that NP3 coating or whatever that stuff is.....i prefer the glock to stay matte black myself.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gunfixr 76 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 The black color you see is just an oxide coating over the Tennifer. Tennifer is a surface hardening procedure, and goes down into the metal a few thousandths of an inch. It is so dense that it resists rusting just fine all by itself. I have Duracoated a Glock, slide and all, but it was for the shop to sell, so I haven't been using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lsgs 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 well i have tried aluma hyde 2 and it peeled right off... i have now bead blasted the sucker and duracoated it... it dont like that finish either so it went back to the blasting bin... so now i got the great idea of dumping it into the parkerizing tank.. guess what it took got a nice fuzzy matte black finish.. i am no metal expert but what i am thinking is that the tenifer hardening and parkerizing is somewhat similar to the original garand hardness with the 8620 steel used in the receivers. so after cleaning degreasing and several bead lblasts,, and a nice park bath the finish came out just about like my original garands with a nice deep coal black finish... actually an armorer refinish in the 50's i think.. my other m1's have the grey anyway the parkerizing stuck and i am at the point that it aint broke so i am done fixing,,, took it to the range and ran about 400 rounds through it finish is still there through muzzle blast and heat so .. . i 'm done...shoulda just parked the dam thing to begin with.....although the paints i was trying do adhere well to pakerizing , hmmmmm? should i?

wally 2 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 its only $45 if you send the slide to glock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buckandaquarterquarterstaff 5 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 In tribute to the overall styling of the glock (which screams of utility, and not beauty), I'd coat it with some rustoleum grill paint and drive over it with my car whilst it dries. Just do the whole damn gun while your at it (no need to remove the slide). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SJgunguy 5 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 If it's a flashy "gat" look your goin' fer Aro-tek does all kinds of "trick" work to Glocks including refinishing and "custom" porting. My buddy has a G21 that cost 1800$ that he uses for duty. I think a Glock is pretty much perfect from the factory. A bit of trigger tuning and night sights is about all it should need. There's somthing to be said for beautiful simplicity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
