handgun refinishing options

[DirksterG30]

I have a 3 year-old blued P3AT that is in need of a refinish. I'm thinking about getting it nickel plated by Jack Fuselier, but I'd like to find out about other refinishing options. How have you folks had your pistols refinished? How well is the finish holding up? Pictures, as well as cost & contact info would be very helpful.

If it's a carry gun, I would hard chrome the slide. You will not find a more durable finish.

APW (http://www.apwcogan.com/KelTec.htm) is excellent, and familiar with KelTecs.

I have used it on a few of my own pistols as well as a few others that I did for friends...

Here's a link to KTOG with pics...

I just sent my P2000 and P2000sk to Brad over at CCR. Do a search over on Sigforum for pictures.

Hard Chrome slide plating for $30, mag tube plating $7.50 each.

Jack Fuselier does EXCELLENT work. Plenty of info and pics of his work at KTOG (http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl)
