I picked up a xd40 last week and it has seen its better days the finish on the slide is not good but its not terrible I was wondering if the treatment to the slide was deep enough to strip the black off of it and still stay rust free I know it can be done to a glock but I have never seen it done to an xd. Also would powdercoating be a good option for a pistol or not my boss has all the equipment to powdercoat and would do it free of charge.

Go back in the threads a week or so, there was at least one with different guns posted, and how they did it. Guns looked nice.

While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. - Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to his nephew
