I have a Gen 4 glock 17. After talking about it on here, and being frustrated as hell, I now shoot it great. It's dialed in and I want it forever.
It has a fairly nasty scratch on the top of the slide from a range trip that involved too many people around a small concrete table.
My gun smith said its not bad but he doesn't think a touch up would hold up. He said I could nickel plate it or parkarize it, he doesn't ceracoate.
I have never damaged a weapon before like this. It was actually a friend, but it was an accident. I have this gun that I'm attached to that is scratched.
I'm considering those three coatings or treatments. How could I return it to its most nib form? Or what would most likely hold up the best on the future? I've always preferred my guns in original condition. But I would consider something real rugged or just cool. I realize concrete would scratch anything.
Thanks in advance.
