Got Pics?

I have an 8000D Mini-Cougar 9mm (first handgun I ever purchased) that I'm thinking about refinishing, either just the slide/upper-half in hardchrome for a two tone look or maybe just hardchrome the whole darn thing! I will go with Tripp Research Inc. because of great past experience with them.

Also, what are my options in regards to replacement/aftermarket grips for the MINI-Cougar?

Let's see where that pic is, oh yeah, here it is. Beretta 92G Elite, all steel parts were hardchromed by Tripp. Frame done in OD green KG Gunkote. Hope this helps. MJD

Tripp will not hard chrome the lower - it is aluminum - he won't mess w/ it. SOme places will nickel plate it first, and then hard chrome aluminum. He will not.

Someone on the Beretta Forum had the barrel and slide hard chromed, and then got his silver cobra coat on the lower. That is all he can/will do.

Looks like I'll go for the 2 tone look then.

I have a 92 that is two-toned. The frame is nickle-plated. I'll have to post some pics soon.
Very nice Highwayman.
