My very favorite .45 is an original DA conversion by Louis Seecamp... a man I had the pleasure of meeting in his home a number of times. The piece is a Nickeled Combat Commander. I thought the factory finish would offer some protection and I suppose it did. But I carried the gun constantly for ten years or more... and had to have it refinished twice.
I seem to be one of those folks who sweats sulphuric acid... sigh. I can even rust stainless guns if I'm not very very careful.
Anyway, I do love and trust the gun that Mr. Seecamp built for me... and I'm thinking of getting it refinished again. But I'm just not sure what to do... I've considered having it parkerized... park seems to actually hold oil and has proven rather durable in my experience.
Internally the gun is fine... VERY reliable, and doggoned accurate. I shoot it very well from using it so much. What do you suggest?
It also has a good bit of sentimental value... reminds me a great man who was kindly to a gabby and excited young man many years ago.
