I just picked up a Sig p239 and I would like to get the slide hard chromed. This gun will be carried pretty much 24/7. Couple of questions here: Will the hard chrome be much more resitant to rust? I had a p220 that I never carried and I had rust on the slide after letting it sit in the box untouched for about 3 months. (give me a break, first pistol I ever owned) I have seen pistols that I was told were hard chromed and they seemed way to shiny for me, looked more nickel than anything. Basically, is there different kinds of hard chroming? I don't want my gun to be bling bling shiny. I searched the topic and came up with nil. Lastly, anyone know where a good place in SE PA area that will do it? Thanks. |

SIG seems to have an improvement in the nitrolon (or is it nitron) finish currently applied but the older blue steel guns would rust just looking at them. I don't know where Quakertown is but I've had Evolution Gun Works hard chrome small parts and they do a great job. |
