Default Sigmas' Darkside

Just had to make it happen. it may be temporary but it is the look I want. before I make the final decision to powder coat it, I will polish the sides of the slide to be sure which finish I want for looks and durability.
also polished the sear and what an improvement.

Default UPDATE!

the slide was finished Wed. very hard to SEE how good it looks.

Josh at Performance Coatings, a Sigma SW40VE owner, applied the finish. $70 out the door. Josh said he was going to do his Friday.

Do you have contact info for Performance Coatings? You could post it or PM it.

The overall matte black looks much better.

that would be performance they are in Auburn WA. there are others who do the same process. some advertise they do guns, some don't.

it looks great and the gun works/shoots like it 'sposed to. the polishing is a lot of work but worth the looks. I'd buy a factory black barrel for it just to have it all black. I should just buy another Sigma40VE for the other hand.
