Polishing the Glock.

[bjl95mustang]

I found some pics on glocktalk. The second pic is what I would like it to look like when finished.

Now before you go saying this will cause it to rust. The Tenifer goes just about as deep as the serial number stamps. So as long as a don't polist the same spot for hours it will be fine.

This is my progress. I did all of this by hand. i'm getting my Dremel tomorrow from my folks house.


This is what I hope it will look like when finished.

Looks like the finished product was done with some sort of precision flat suface grinder. Good luck with the dremel but don't see how your going to polish by hand without having dips and gouges.

i'd leave it black

Id leave that to a professional. If they mess it up you get a new slide. If you mess it up you have a messed up glock.

What was actor Tommy Lee Jone's famous saying about the Glock in the Fugitive...

~ (Get rid of that shiney sissy pistol and get a Glock.)

:dunno: bro you may be going the wrong way. Glock in GA can alway re-tenifer the gun for you whenever your ready.

pretty ballsy taking a dremel to your Glock

The guy who did the one in the pic would not tell his secret on doing the sides.

But I think I figured it out. Pretty basic. I will post pics when it's done.

Belt sander, or some sort of flat surface orbital sander would do that in a heartbeat. Just don't use much force, and finish by hand.

jewlers rouge and buffing wheel...the kind that mounts on a bench grinder. the dremel would work i guess but its way to much like work. I use to do the satin finish colt 1911's like that.
the jewlers rouge will make it shine like a high polish crome....just dont shoot outside with out sunglasses lol

After you polish it, arent you going to have to keep polishing it? If it keeps that look then it would be cool.

the colts I did required no futher polishing, but i did shoot my gun alot so i cleaned it almost every week or two

Please excuse my arrogance, polishing would not be necessary, to say the least, if one owned a sig vs. a glock.

LoL Apatriot, now theres something we can agree on.

Now THATS funny !

 

[fnmedallion]

that's easy to accomplish, pm me and i will give you some flame free advice... p.s. this is High-Cap i'm on my dads computer


i know a thing or two about polished slides. the 1911 was complete, the others were in progress, that's why they look hazy

 

[fnmedallion]

Colts are stainless,Glock slides are carbon steel dude

not all colt slides are, and if you wipe the polished slides down with an oil rag every once in a while.... they wont rust.

just like any other gun in existence. how many carbon steel guns have been made that the blue is wearing off of, and if wiped down or lightly sprayed with an oil, will it rust...?

i have a 1906 mfg marlin 1894 that has zero rust on it, bluing is worn off, but oil works wonders.

I don't think ballsy is the word I'd use.

Please share the humor since you felt it necessary to involve yourself?
