lrdchaos Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm thinking of having a Black frame and Hard chrome slide 2011 built. Is there an issue to with these 2 finishes running together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I can't see why it would be an issue and it will look AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrdchaos Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thank you, I'm concerned with the look. Matt cheely is doing the build and I'm thinking, black ldc frame, black grip, polished accessories, HC slide with black/chrome spiral fluted barrel. I think it will look good....maybe a little blingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black frame, stainless slide with polished sides, stainless grip with bright brushed finish, black magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) There is a thing when you get 2 dissimilar metals together one will get corrosion while the other won't. Like putting steal and aluminum together where they touch you get galvanic corrosion. But I have no idea if these two surfaces would have a propensity towards that.

Hany Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well, I had my '94 vintage single stack refinished in Ionbond top and HC frame, about 7 or 8 years ago. No problems at all since then. Neither rail surface has any appreciable wear, which is not a surprise since the rails where they "interact" are always lubed with grease. No galling or oxidation so far...even though mine is finished in "reverse" to what you are planning, there is no reason that the result will be any different. Benny Hill made me a great railed caspian framed, two-tone single stack about 2-3 years ago with identical finish, and results were again excellent. Smooth and hard wearing...hope this helps.

coltlover Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm thinking I want to have my slide on this Dan Bedell gun HC or NiB and replace the polymer grip with a stainless steel SVI grip frame. I would leave the STI frame black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 thinking about doing the same thing to my STI edge. Post some photos if you decide to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltlover Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Must have been karma, got an email from a company I had plate a couple AR BCGs and Glock barrel earlier this year. They included a coupon for 25% off. Sent slide out Tuesday. I'll post pics in couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltlover Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Well, karma bit me in the ass. Slide came back Friday. Looks awesome. Unfortunately, the slide no longer "slides" on the frame. Gun was super tight to begin with. I guess I should have known better. Had already been talking with a local gunsmith who does incredible 1911/2011 work about improving the trigger a little. Contacted him today about fitting the slide to frame. Just to make it worth while, I ordered an SV stainless grip for him to install too. Maybe I'll have it by Christmas. Pics to follow.
