The one weakness of a DE is the black stock finish. It's the only gun I have owned which started to rust. I stripped the finish to bare metal, oil coated it, and mailed it off to Fords refinishing. They hard chromed it in two weeks and sent it back. I do think the gold finish (actually a titanium derivative - titanium nitride) is a better choice as it's way tougher than chrome and won't flake off should you use a very heavy solvent on the gun. TiN is used to coat cutting bits, and after machining three lowers with one bit, and not seeing any degradation to the TiN finish, I was a believer in the hardness of the material.
Gold looks a bit ostentatious but it's more of a maintainance decision. I hate cleaning guns.Last edited by bubbapug1; 11-02-2014, 11:21 AM.I love America for the rights and freedoms we used to have.Comment

California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.Comment

I just bought the 44 a month ago. I have not shot it yet and I may not before it gets sent off for the polished chrome finish. I don't know why but I have just wanted one for some time now. I found mine in a LGS in a barely used condition so it made it worth while to buy since I really wanted the polished chrome.

It is highly sensitive to ammo selection, but it's great fun.
just set aside another few hundred for a reloading setup...NRA Patron Member
I've written up my ongoing adventures as I learn to hunt.
Yes, you CAN fit a case of shotgun shells into a .50cal ammo can.
I think i found an optimal solution for ammo can labeling.
I made this target for the NRA's Marksman pistol test. I think it's a lot better than the paper plate they suggest.Comment

To the OP, if you get a DE and want to swap out barrels, make sure you get the Mk XIX. I have a MkVII, which does NOT allow for an upgrade to .50. Not a big worry for me as I like in .44 and didn't want yet another calibre to support, but just keep that in mind if it matters to you.
Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon.Comment

Plus the ranch hand doesn't feel as good in the hand as a standard pistol grip, and does not come in semiautomatic modeLIVE FREE OR DIE!
