Default Anyone send a slide back for refinish?
I've been carrying my older CCO quite a bit lately and the slide finish is looking bad, sort of washed out looking.

Anyone send one back? Suggestions, the finish is just unacceptable.

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.
