Old S&W 910 beater... redone in FDE

[HardShell]

Really should have taken a "before" picture of this one, it was ugly... traded into it for next to nothing, mechanically sound but original finish very worn, rear sight partly broken, OEM grips beaten and chipped badly.

A new Hogue o/m rubber grip, new sights, and some FDE (with black controls for contrast) Cerakote later...








Kind of different... I know it won't appeal to everyone, but I am pretty happy with it.

As you should be. Nicely done!

I think that is the nicest looking 910 I have ever seen. Well done.

 

[HardShell]

Just to be clear (lest y'all praise me undeservedly!), I had the Cerakote done by a young 'smith at a local shop that recently started offering the service.

I did NOT do the finish myself... definitely outside of my personal wheelhouse.

Looks great!

 

[Deacon KC]

It turned our really nice!

That is one classy-looking piece! Wear it in good health.

Great Job! Looks like something Smith should be making today.

Is the young gunsmith you referred to Joe Speer?

Really Nice job.

I usually don't like guns done in "colors" but dang that does look good

No, Josh at Hoover Tactical Firearms (Birmingham, AL).

I have a feeling he will be seeing several of my guns in the coming months/years, one or two at a time...

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind if my son needs a smith down there.

They do in both 9mm and .40 S&W.

HardShell, looks sweet. Your smith did a perfect job.

Except for the front sight, (not my cup of tea) that looks great!

Nicely done - good luck with it!!

I'd rather have HardShell's Really badass. I'd love to see a railed TSW done up like this.

I like it. For years I have stayed away from blued or worn guns but with the firearms finishes available today I won't be doing that anymore. A co-worker just had a J frame done in a 2 tone Cerakote and it turned out awesome. I am a big fan of the flat colors on firearms. Really liking the contrast with the black controls.
