I bought my second Sig a month or two ago.
It is a 220 and the dealer said it was "k koted", maybe I am not looking in the right places but haven't found much info on this finish. Can someone enlighten me? I have a 226 that Im guessing is basic "blue". Every time it gets sneezed on it developed surface rust fairly quickly. I am trying to find the best refinishes/finish to have it done. Not into bling-bling types. I want something basic black or such. 220 is my primary duty / 226 used occasionally for work. Thanks in advance for any and all help. |

It's basically just a plastic type finish over park. It seals up the park to prevent rust. I have a 225 with that finish. SIGs park is really thin and rusts VERY easily. New slides are made in the US and are stainless, most are blackened with a finish called Nitron. You can send that slide back to SIG for refinishing with Nitron. I think they charge about $65 for the slide.
