How does one get a mirror finish on a slide like this? Just morbid curiosity.
Hello,

There's a whole thread on polishing the slide and the barrel on an XD over at xdtalk.com. Personally, I think it looks like s%^*e!, but to each his own:

My XD is bone stock, but of course I just got a day or two ago ;-) Only mods I've considered are a set of night sites, and possibly a working over by the SA custom shop (Carry Package)...

BTW, xdtalk.com is an excellent source of information for XDs. I haven't joined the forum, but I lurk there for information. They seem like a good bunch there
