The suspense is killing this old man.

Slip, slack, but it back with a wack....and the slides back together. Sans sights cuz shes getting nite jobs.

The Germans did a good job with their version if the 1911.

Ahhh yes. Beautiful job. Congratulations!

This stuff is thin. No build up in holes. No clearance issuses. Every thing that touches the slide runs on TiN.

A limited production, SS USP, designed by a company founded(with the blessing of American armed forces) by Nazi arm makers.

No wonder the US enjoyed the design of the MG42 in the M60. And HK used Browning's barrel link system on the USP.

Now its polished and plated.

Nice.

Looks like they gave it a good pee'n before they packed it. Going the extra step for perfection!

Found this thread while doing a search on polishing stainless 1911's. I have a bit of experience with polishing but still wanted to see what guys were doing to polish their pieces. I just picked up a new Springfield loaded 1911 in stainless and already have it apart. I'm really disappointed in this gun so far because they aluminum oxide blasted all the parts opposed to using glass beads to give a satin finish. The media blasted finishes is very coarse, the inside of the slide is like sandpaper rubbing on the barrel. I did the best I could to get my fat fingers in there to smooth it out. I plan to have this gun TiN coated aswell. Not sure how I want to proceed. I may end up glass beading the entire thing just to knock down the high spots on the blasted portions and the hand sanding the flats of the frame and slide to a mirror finish. Gonna be alot of elbow grease!

I would also like to comment on the company you sent your gun off to.... They are thieving scumbags! I found a guy that sends stuff out regularly for TiN coating and he gets it done for a fraction of what those people charge. TiN is an industrial coating and they are taking advantage of us. No respect for people/businesses like that.

Where can we get TiN coating on the cheap?

It's anything but cheap. When I looked around for prices, I found only a few bucks difference. Expect to pay at least $100+ to plate a barrel or bolt carrier. I think the price of plating includes the cost of the walk in vapor oven?

So the place GHG used consists of thieving scumbags, and it can be done at a fraction of the cost. But you didn't bother giving a link or name the place that will do it at a fraction of the cost. Only that you "found a guy" that sends stuff out and has it done cheaper. And then, nothing of what the results look like or the quality of the results.

Skeptical.

They answered every email before and after. Gave me the status. The work came back as expected. Trust me when I say this. I'm one picky motherlover. It'll be the way I want it, or it a No Go at this station.


Cheap is good. But think about it. Would you mail off a freaking stainless slide off a brand new HK USP. That had over 40 hours of hand labor.....to a discount place?

Lol, nah. Not for a $800 HK pistol.

Springfield loaded 1911...The media blasted finishes is very coarse, the inside of the slide is like sandpaper rubbing on the barrel.

Where, on that pistol, does the inside of the frame rub on the barrel?

You all just feeding a troll.

Hey grasshopper, ive been meaning to ask: how much does your finish look like a gold plated finish? I've never seen a TiN coating in person, and I have a project in mind where I have some gold plated parts. Wondering if this could be a better, cheaper option and still look good...thanks!

Here you go

The ring is 10k. You cant tell by the pic but its lighter in color then the slide. The slide looks more like its gold then the 10k, if that makes sense.

Awesome! I think that might be a good substitute. Still looks like it has a mirror finish on it too. I wonder if they can do different tints to it? I don't want it too yellow or dark. I prefer the lighter gold tint.
