Acid eaten P226 slide - replacement?

[Stubz]

There will be more slides avaliable, good e bay deal though. I do hope it all works out well, I have a Sig 226. I would carry it too, but along came GLOCK and so far thats been it for me. Keep us informed.

Thank you Sir! Yes there will be more than the previous auction and this one, but I'm not letting it drag on that long. If he can't score one of these two, it's OEM replacement. Cant' say as I blame you on the plastic fantastic route, I'm currently carrying M&P and can't decide between staying or going Sig.

Thanks for the link Stephen87, but a factory direct slide is $275 + S&H, had all the guts and barrel stripped out before it went for plating so that auction is a little more than I need...or can probably get the guy to spring for as a solution.

Ok so update on this. I've acquire another slide! Had to have a LGS bid on Gunbroker to get it and have the other fellow reimburse me, but it's all panned out, free and clear with no hard feelings on any side.

I'll put a picture here once I resolve a few issue's with my cameras photo taking capabilities (broken ) .

But had the frame matte black Duracoated and the replacement slide was electro-less nickle coated prior to my receiving it. Have to acquire sights for it (thinking Tru-Glo TFO's, really like them on my M&P.45c).

Slide ran @ $190, $500 for the gun and figuring $80 in sights, I bartered for the Duracoating so....figure I have $850-900 in a $600 used gun
<---....some guys shouldn't try to buy projects

Haven't gotten the old slide. Of no use to me, I'm guessing he scrapped it out .

Good to hear. Glad all worked out.

Thank you

OK Stubby, glad it all worked out and with the replacement slide, you ended up fairing well in the long run, waiting for those "AFTER" pics.

Hi Stubbie!

 

[Stubz]

Used my cell but here's a picture of how it sits now. Set of TFO's are on the way, no sights currently installed.

Thanks for all the kind words and well wishes.

Hi Ragnar!

wow... sounds like someone owes you a new gun. dang. I prefer DLC over most anything else as far as coatings go. pricey, but I don't worry about scratching stuff up.

Honestly I have the Guarder MBK on my 226 and I love it.

I got a new slide, he settled up honorably.
