Dan Burwell has done just about everything to these guns.

Burwell can do this for you: http://mp-pistol.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=221

Because the slide is stainless steel there's no need to chrome it...unless you want to.

Only thing to be careful of is if you plan to shoot USPSA production, it is not an allowed mod from what I have read.

I'm ready to have mine blasted. The two tone is growing on me, especially after catching up on Jack Bauer.

i understand that when its blasted you dont have to do anything to it ... i was just wondering if anybody has ever taken the raw stainless to the ol' polishing wheel

Dan has done some awesome stuff to M&P Slides.



Ask him for samples.

Blasted would be 100% legal. I've shot Level 3 matches and seen guys with aftermarket finishes on Production guns. I've never seen anyone get DQ'd for it as it's not really a competitive advantage. But yes it is illegal for Production.

I will not be polishing the M&P slides. I'll leave that to anyone that has the time on their hands, and trust me it will take time. The slides are pretty rough and a good bit has to be taken off just to get the machine marks and such off. The one on the right is the closest thing I will do to polishing one:

Good luck.

Very nice. Haven't really been moved by the basic stainless look, but your polished accent approach sure is pretty.

Is it possible to use a matte finish on the flats of the slide instead of polishing them (left gun)?? I love the look, but how much upkeep is necessary to keep that shine on the polished portion of the slide?
