Refinishing a Sub Compact XD 40 to SS
I'm not sure where to post this but.....does anyopne know about refinishing a slide on a XD. My question is....I have a XD 40 SC in all black and I'm wanting to get the slide refinished in SS. Can this be done and would it be cheaper in the long run to just by a new 40 SC?

SS as in stainless steel?
That's not an option, as the black slide isn't stainless steel and the slides on the bi-tone models are. You can re-finish it with a coating that LOOKS like stainless, but I'd probably just sell yours and buy a bi-tone model to get an actual stainless slide.

Theres a big difference between stainless and chrome.Stainless is the metal.Chrome is a metal plating.
I do like the hard chrome option though.I think that my od .40 would look extremely sweet with a hard chrome slide. Whats it usually cost to get a slide hard chromed? |

Better hurry if you're using Tripp, they're stopping soon.
