1911 Picture Request

So is your springer brushed or matte? Sorry I dont know the difference. I have a stainless trp but hc looks better. How much did that cost?

If I remember correctly the flats are about a 1200 polish and the rest is a light bead blast matte finish before HC. Here it is "in the white" before it was sent out:

I honestly don't remember the cost of the hardchrome. I remember It was cheaper than Ionbond DLC which I was also looking into at that time.

THAT is stunning! Turned out great!

Thank you! It's one of my two favorite 1911s to shoot as it just feels good in your hand.

It seems like the standard proceedure is brushed flats and bead blasted rounds. I like the brushed look but at the same time I want to minimize the reflectiveness as much as possible. Would going all bead blast be the way to go? Does anyone have pics of an all bead blasted hard chrome 1911? I think that Jardine Custom above was one...
