Help!
I get the emails all the time, and they all say pretty much the same thing:
Your blog is the best thing EVAR. It’s made life worth living. It even cured my herpes! How can I possibly repay you?!?
Gentle readers, you can express your bottomless gratitude with topless photos. If you’re female, that is. Or, regardless of your gender, you can help me out by expressing your opinion on a dilemma which weighs heavily on my tequila-soaked mind.
I’m going to be shipping my Hi-Power off for some custom work, including hard chrome plating. The problem is, I can’t decide if I want polished slide flats, as on this Wild West Guns custom HP, or a satin blasted finish, as seen on factory “Silver Chrome” guns.
I’d only get the full-width portion of the slide polished; the forward end with the lightening cuts, along with the rest of the gun, would be satin blasted.
What say you?
I prefer the satin, as long as the gold trigger isn’t a mandatory part of the package.

Satin. It’s less gay than polished chrome.

“Satin. It’s less gay than polished chrome.” Ouch
You should really consider a nice realtree finish……

Polished or brushed flats! I have a Loaded Springfield stainless that has polished flats and it looks like a million bucks.
I can assure you that there is absolutely nothing “gay” about it.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to make a fresh batch of Mimosas and finish watching “Troy”.

I prefer satin, but only because a shinier finish on anything is a real bitch to keep up with. I mean, you already have to clean your gun every time you shoot it, why should you have to polish it, too?

If its for BBQ then polished, else satin.

I vote for “shiny.” ‘Cos I like shiny things. Unless you’re going to be doing a lot of stealthly stiff, in which case…umm. Small can of hair spray?
Just remember, the zombies fear shiny.

Satin, for the reason Squeeks gives.
