I decided I wanted a S&W revolver re-blued. Went to a place in Orange County to drop it off and was quoted 30 days. Thus started an eight month adventure and even now I'm not completely satisfied with the job. I think the sad fact is there are very few truly skilled professional gun re-finishers left. I wish you luck.

Trijicon HD sights are sold out everyplace atm so they are prolly not lying about that. I have had custom work / smithing and refinishing done on several guns and only one time did the finisher meet the estimated time , all the rest were substantially longer , part of the industry i learned .

I feel your pain. Ford's Custom had my Colt Elite IX for almost 8 months (stripping HC and reapplying, which they had to redo after I got the pistol back to due wear/flaking after 300rds) while C&S was working on it. 2+yrs on that little project...

I will let you know my opinion






in 2 weeks

Why rush perfection. I have never had a gun refinished but I sent a bunch of vintage auto chrome back east for a redo. Took a while but worth it.

You can not rush perfect.

Don't know for sure. I bet if you threw in some Pop-Tarts or a couple of those Chicken Pot Pies with real chicken ( Is there a fake chicken alternative? ) the coating job would be completed quicker.

I sent a gun to a place for refinishing after checking out their work and reviews. Most reviews were good with a few complaining of no communication after they got their money.

My pistol was received and signed by an employee we will call "Kate". Kate runs the front office and handles the emails, phones and advertising with forum posts. Kate signed for the gun December 1.

On Jan 14, I sent Kate an email asking about the status of my pistol. Kate responded on the 16th saying the gun will ship out in 2-3 weeks as they are waiting for some Trijicon HD's I ordered to arrive from their vendor.

On Feb 8, I emailed Kate again asking about the gun. Her response again was 2 weeks, still waiting on the sights.

Today I sent an email requesting photos of my pistol to see if it's even done and to ship it back ASAP with whatever night sights they have in stock.

If the response back is 2-3 weeks how should I proceed and should I publicly name the company?

I had a similar experience with CCR Refinishinh. I was quoted 10 days turn around for my glock slide. Took almost three months to get my slide back after a dozen emails.

Do NOT ever have any custom 1911 work done. 18 months is nothing and I've heard of smith's sending unstarted guns and refunds back to guys who ask "how much longer?"

And YES- LET'S SEE THIS KATE!

I think it is nothing. Trijicom HDs are sold out everywhere.

Don't ever get custom 1911 work done. I have a pistol that is in flight sti 1.5 years later

How much does it cost?
Do they take credit cards?
