Hard chromed USPc :)

[Shipwreck]

Just got it back - the slide. Not the best pics so far, but good enough to see.

I had it done by Tripp Research. He's done a few guns of mine - he did ruin a 1911. But, all the non stop praise, and my urge to hard chrome this slide made me take another chance.. Probably stupid after that 1 messed up gun.

But this one came out great

Purdy....very very purdy!

what date code is that, you have the HK marking on the right side of the slide.

 

[Shipwreck]

The slide is AE

 

[gudel]

my AE/AF don't have that one. well it could be because you have a compact.

 

[Shipwreck]

I made a mistake - I was thinking of my Walther date code - If is an AF slide and the inside of the frame has AE.

Shipwreck:

Time-out! I have been considering sending 4 pistols to Tripp for hard chroming, 3 of my 1911s and my Browning HP. Please explain the 1911 destruction. Note, my 1911s and my BHP are all 4 extremely reliable and extremely accurate. I will not tolerate any decrease to accuracy or reliability, not to mention the $840.00 for the service and close to $200.00 total for shipping (both ways). Better I be forewarned.

Thanks,

It looks good, but I'm curious about something.

What is the purpose of it ?

 

[Shipwreck]

Doc - I got your PM and returned it -

Whited - I do it one, because I love the look of the hard chrome on a black frame.

And two - it's very durable. The gun is almost scratch proof, unless you scratch it with another metal item. I started doing this with my P99c after it developed holster wear - It held up great,a nd I liked the look. So, my SW99 and fullsize P99 next.

Here are the others:

Nice guns Shipwreck. I like the chrome slides....very nice!

 

[Straight Shooter7]

Nice USP.

the other side - the flash makes it look a bit lighter than it really is...

Well, my 2 toned P99s are still my fav. To me a P99 doesn't look right w/o a silver slide...
