Very Cool Kris, Very Cool :cool: I think the scales below the logo are really neat.
 
Doug did rear top serrations my M&P9c two years ago. I feel very fortunate that I live so close and can just drive to his shop to get work done.
Haha .. I did the stippling myself last month.
 
Here is his website with info .. disregard the *Coming Soon* He needs to update the cover page. He is in full swing and getting work across the Country. He is heading down to Cleveland, Ohio where Chris Costa is holding classes over the weekend. Doug is delivering three of Costa's guns back to him with serrations, trigger work, RMR set on and his logo etched on the slide.

I'm lickin' my chops thinking about what mods I want to do with some of my guns! :D
 
The mods that I had done are for functional purposes. The coolness factor is very secondary. The serrations are very aggressive and work very well clearing malfunctions one handed running the slide on clothing .. whatever is available. Below is a you tube done at Doug's shop two years ago by Steve Fisher who came up with the idea for racking serrations. This was an impromptu video explaining and demonstrating the purpose.

Now that not only looks cool but seems very practical, thanks for sharing.
 
I might get some hate over this... but once I get the Vanguard II for my G19, the shield's slide will be at Doug's shop. Its a bit of a drive for me, just under two hours so I just might mail it this time.

What was the turnaround time?

Under two weeks because I dropped it off Monday night of the 2nd and he cut the serrations while I was there and we had a Holiday weekend in the middle. I picked it up Thursday on the 12th. Shipping the slide will add to the turn around.
 
Nice...
I really like the little serrations under the m&pshield. I know that one is basically looks but it looks damn good. As far a the top, I like it, but I think id rather have it on just the rear area. But that's me, but I think it looks good...and very nice craftsmanship...
 
I would like to know how they refinish the slide. Do they re-nitrate the slide then black oxide it? That is the only way I would have that done.

Sent out locally for melonite .. same finish as on all the factory M&P's. I had my 9c done two years ago, and looks the same.

By no means am I a chemist.... the way it was described to me is a melted(liquefied) salt bath, can't remember what temp... I know the technical term is different for, say, a Glock slide, but it's the same process... Just slightly different ingredients.

Is that what you're talking about?
 
Found this:

Hi, Jim. Tennifer and Melonite are trade names for firearm finishing processes that involve salt bath nitriding. The heart of the matter is probably licensing rights rather than technology. I do not have any special inside information, but I believe that Glock will not let the supplier license the Tennifer name to any other firearms manufacturer; therefore, other firearms manufacturers are using a similar finish but from other chemical suppliers or under different tradenames.

Historically, firearm parts were black oxided, which is an oxidation process which is only a few millionths of an inch thick, does not offer much corrosion resistance, and doesn't alter the underlying steel. Salt bath nitriding is a case hardening process that leaves a fairly thick, corrosion resistant, hard surface.
