New Steyr S40 Pics

[SturmRuger]

I never did like the finish on my S40. It is one of my favorite guns to shoot, but it just didn't seem very visually appealing. One of the other members here on THR mentioned he had his M40 refinished by Mac over at Shootin Iron (http://www.shootiniron.com). From what everyone has said Mac does excellent work for a great price.
I have been trying to decide what color to go with. I emailed Mac and he said they were testing a new Matte Silver finish that would be available in the middle of April. On the 13th I heard from him that he was ready to start finishing guns with the new color. I shipped my S40 slide out on the 14th and received it back on the 24th!!

A 10-day turnaround is unbelievable fast. I was so excited to get the package open I was fumbling around in .the kitchen looking for a knife. Once I had the package open I was
Dumfounded. I couldn't believe simply refinishing a gun would change the look so completely. I am super happy with Mac's work and plan to send him several other guns in the future, I just have to decide what color to go with. It cost me $44 for the refinish and $3.85 for the shipping, what a great deal!!



I am sorry that some of the pictures aren’t as focused as they should be. I need to get a better digital camera. I am going to go over to a buddy’s house and use his new Digital SLR sometime this week so keep your eyes peeled I might have some better pictures to share.

Is that the satin-nickel finish? Did you send him only the slide? I have an S40 and an XD-9 Tactical I would love to get the slides refinished on.

[SturmRuger]

Yes thats right it is the Satin Nickel finish. Luckily he doesn't need the rest of the gun, only the slide. That is why I got off so cheap on the shipping.

I'm guessing that he had to take the sights off to do this, have you shot it yet to see if they were put back on target?

[SturmRuger]

I am hoping to be able to make it to the range this week to see how well it shoots.

I made it to the range last night. I made a mistake and shot the S40 last!! Problem was I only had 10 rounds left, so I wasn't able to really test it very well. It fired all 10 rounds with no problems. Accuracy seemed to be what it was before I sent it out. The sights were on at 10 yards. I really don't have much else to say other then hopefully I can get a few boxes through it in the near future. Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure that Mac used a matte nickel finish.

He had mentioned on XDTalk that he was adding nickel to his lineup.

What is his username over on XDtalk?? My guess would be Mac.

[The Tengu]

Mac's :)
