Shadyscott999 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 What if I decide to rub Progrip on the sides of my slide before a match? Does that constitute refinishing? It would certainly make it more grippier. I thought you hate ProGrip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly make it more grippier. As an RO I would call a shooter on that one and let him and the RM work that out. Just put the pro grip on your hands as needed.

juan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 looks like normal wear to me, I just sanded my slide, same thing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Question: Say you were to accidentally leave your gun laying on a bed of rock salt or small gravel (It's a Glock, so it will be ok...Plastic doesn't rust!! ) in the driveway....and accidentally ran over it a couple of times...and on one of those times, if flipped over and got ran over, scaring the other side of the slide....Did you re-finish it? Or are you just a DA that leaves guns laying in the driveway on top of rock salt or gravel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) My G34 and G35 slides have much more wear than in the image posted, both only from thousands of draws from a kydex holster on windy and dusty ranges. They are both still too slick for me to do my favored racking technique over top of the slide. Not saying at all that it's kosher to roughen the slide for a better grip (it isn't), but unless announced by the shooter at the gun inspection at chrono, nobody is going to think that there is anything but normal finish wear on that slide.

kevin c Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I suppose it could be argued that, technically, there isn't a NEW finish on the gun, just the removal of the old one. Not sure it would fly though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I love these vague rules (although I don't have any better solution.) Shooter A: I wanted my gun to have a 2 tone look, so I bead blasted my slide to remove the finish. Shooter B: The finish on my slide is too slippery, so I used a bead blaster to remove it.

Shooter C: Can't afford bead blasting so he sands the slide by hand with sandpaper. At the Chrono Station, A&B are OK. C gets bumped to Open.
