Two tone Glock 17 impossible

Hey everyone,
Mike here in Orlando, FL. I'm considering purchasing a Glock 17 as my first handgun and well I really like the two tone stainless slide and black body look. Is it impossible to find one of these for sale or what? Any suggestions? Or does anyone know something I don't? Thanks guys.

You will have to find an aftermarket slide or have the factory slide refinished. Have the slide refinished will be the least expensive route. I did this on a Sig.

Read you can easily sand down the slide for the look you want.

You better maintain that very well. I see rust in it's future without a protective coating. Glock slides are not SS.

Yup, you can.

Then run it through a Glock torture test... and see how much rust it has! :anim_lol:

Dosborn,
How did you go about refinishing the slide? Also how was the cost roughly? Thanks for the input.

I think the total was around $125 after shipping. I had a company by the name of CCR to the work. They are very good at what they do.

I started a thread like this, but went to the extreme. Here is my thread.

I would recommend rockyourglock.com I have dealt with them a few times and they're service is great. They offer hard chrome plating for slides and its only 75 bucks. its a high quality finish too. they also have a variety of services specially designated for the glock. they're entire company is strictly for glocks.

They're the Glock Experts

Caspian makes aftermarket slides for Glock in stainless.
