If you get it chromed, and want to later do metal worK, it can be a PITA.
Gunkote wears real quick. Black-T as done by Birdsong seems to hold up well, as does NP3. If you do a lot of work from the holster, esp. a kydex one, you'll wear any soft finish real quick. Recommend you polish the flats and blast the rounds. |

My personal opinion is bead blast it unless it has to be black. NP3 is great stuff, but Robar's customer service and quality have gone way downhill.

+1 Bead blast the whole thing and then blacken the slide. It does not require much pressure to soften the 'finish' on the stainless. I would vote for that. |
