Bi-Tone Slide Redone By ajamesp51. (w/picture) - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I had James bead blast my bi-tone slide after an application of clear DuraCoat didn't work out. James made it clear that he was 100% dedicated to making sure I was a happy customer. He's been really great to work with.

I have to say, it looks awesome. The finish is much flatter than the stock bi-tone, so it's less reflective and it's a shade darker than it was before. It is also VERY grippy. The texture is really great. I put CLP all over the slide and I had NO issues racking it at all. Sweaty hands won't be a problem.

Man, it looks great.

James is offering this service to anyone with a bi-tone slide. I'm not sure how much it will cost, but I'm sure it will be affordable.

looks nice, but why didn't you post a big picture????

It's things like that, that make me want a .40sub 2tone now, WOW! nice call man, and nicely done James.

Very Impressed. That gun looks well used too... that's not at all a bad thing.

Actually, the gun only has about 300 rounds through it.

It's also for sale here: http://www.hs2000talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=30309

The gun looks great, really nice job. Is that a Hi Viz sight on the front? I'm thinking about getting one for my xd-9

How do you like it?

Yep it's a Hi Viz. It's not a Dawson, but it's pretty damn good for $20.

I actually ditched my XS Big Dot sights for this setup. For me, sight acquisition was just as fast and longer distance shots were more accurate.

I just might have to give the Hi Viz a try
