Should I get Sig or a local Gunsmith to refinish?

[Greg8098]

Well, I just got my brand new Sig P229 today in two-tone. I really wanted the Black Nitron, but this is the last one that the distributor had. I don't think that I will ever like this stainless slide though. I was wondering if the good people at Sig Arms would be able to finish the slide with the Black Nitron finish. I was thinking of taking it to Clark's here in Bossier City to get it done. I would hate to send it off to Sig and have to wait for months to get it back. Has anyone here ever had Sig to finish or refinish a slide?

Also the top of the chamber isn't black either, but the right side is. I have never owned a Sig and was wondering if the all black ones were black on top of the chamber as well.

None of the tops are black.

You should of been more patient..
It reminds me of my son who thinks every car he has an interest in & wants it right now; is the only one on the planet..

I like the two toned SIGs. Much more unique compared to the more common one tones.... Plus, I bet the two tones wear better, as the blued SIGs seem to have a somewhat delicate finish....

I would keep the 2-tone. They are harder to find and will wear better as Lightsped has said. I am sure someone here would give you a fair price for it and you could get a good deal on a new Nitron finished gun.

If you're looking for a 229 give me a shout. I have a fair number in stock on clearance.
Thanks!
