Hey y'all,
So, the ever-popular question: best finish for a carry pistol?
I'm thinking about starting a bit of a 1911 project, and am going to be carrying IWB - probably in a Crossbreed Supertuck, as the reviews are fantastic, and you've got to start somewhere, right?
I'll be purchasing an STI Spartan IV, which is parkerized, but apparently refinishing a parkerized gun is pretty straightforward, and I can go in a couple directions. (The only thing I don't want to consider is hard chrome - I don't care for the look.) I have to admit really liking the look of the Sig Scorpion, but don't want a railed 1911 - so a pistol finished in FDE is on my mind.
Thoughts, opinions, good places to send the pistol, etc. would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks y'all.
