I have a Colt 1909 .38 ACP double link pistol that had deep rust pitting on the slide, and want to parkerize it since surface grinding the pits out of the sides of the slide makes it unworthy as a collector piece. The gunsmith told me to sand blast rather than bead blast, said the park finish lasts longer. Next time I talked with him he said to bead blast it. So now I wonder. Any big difference? The reason I ask is that the bead blaster is full of beads and changing is a messy chore.
Thanks,
