No but, I need to send both STI's for a refinish. Thinking of the hard hat as mentioned.

Some day I'm going to send my ORM 1991 Commander to dave for HH. It's the first Colt I bought so I reason it deserves something special!

I'm strongly considering Mahovsky's Metalife, good rep. fair price for a slide (70 bucks) and been doing it for 30 years. I just need to see how backed up he is.

I'm also wondering what the price would be for Google Chrome, I see it advertised a lot. (just checking to see if you were awake)

Please report back with the current wait times. His pricing seems very fair - thanks for introducing me to another resource.

STI's only downfall is there finish...not good. When the time comes for my three STI's for new surface it will be hard hat!

Exactly, except I will probably do one in HH and the other in HC.

I actually prefer the "used a bit" look to new myself:

Rick you are right on but at some point you have to refinish the metal to make it last "forever" That is a beautiful gun with great wear, super nice looking but if say %60 of the finish is gone I would refinish it.
