It is a police trade in and was built in 1994, the slides factory finish is EXTREMELY worn.
And i wanted to get it finished OD green to match me other firearms
It's a tool that has been used, nothing wrong with that.
See it as a badge of honor and be proud of it.
Im ok with scratching it, but i want the wear the guns shows to be my wear. Not the police officer that carried it for 10 years before me.. May be dumb but its how i feel about it.
