What do you guys think would be the best "matte black finish" to get my handgun refinished in. It is currently blued and the bluing is wearing off. I was going to get it hard chromed but decided I want it to be black. I have looked at black oxide, anodizing, and parkerizing. What do you guys think?

*THE BEST*
------------
Have the firearm parkerized, then duracoated. Wait a month for the duracoat to cure. That's your best, period.

Anodizing is only for aluminum. Black oxide and parkerizing are only for certain steels. Since your gun is blued, you can have it parkerized, but you can't have it anodized. Black oxide isn't worth it. It's not a very robust finish.
Even if you don't get it duracoated, get it parkerized.Please read the Calguns Wiki
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
