I have a 1991 Browning in Satin Hard Chrome.  I was thinking of blueing it or duracoating it.  Should i just get an Isreali trade in to do, or is this acceptable?  My only thought is that the hard chrome finish is usually a little more expensive.  I know the pistol itself is not really rare or anything.  Thanks for answers

I would leave your satin hard chrome hi-power alone if it's in fairly decent condition. Not rare, but not abundant in numbers either. Find a beater that needs a face lift for your next project.

it has a couple of spots on it.  s few dings where the mag safety was removed (maybe it can be smoothed out).  also marks on the side where the night sights were installed.  there is a dark spot on the top of the slide where the stock front sight post was.  

i really like the pistol, just not what i really want, you know.  i think i may sell it and get a blued.  i will probably be better off in the long run

DO NOT refinish this particular HP. They don't make them anymore.
These are highly desirable. Buy a lesser acceptable gun for this change.
Get a clone or one that has a less than desirable finish to remake.
I say this because I own a BHP hard chrome and it is , by far, my favorite handgun.
It is the most ergonomic and most accurate semi-auto I've ever owned.
I've owned five BHP's, three blue and two Hard Chromed.
They are the best semi-auto handguns I've ever owned!!!
I still own one Hard Chrome HP.
If I had  to sell everything I own ....
the BHP will be my remaining handgun!!!
