What aftermarket finish is closest to Glocks?

[Kevin108]

I love the semi-gloss, the color, and the durability of the finish on my Glocks. I have a new 1911 I wouldn't mind getting refinished to match my two ol' reliables. What's the best option here?

Melonite I think the QPQ process will give the closest results.

How much does a new coating like these reduce slide graffiti?

Try cerakote. It's extremely slick, hard,etc.

the finish on a glock is parkerized. why people cant realize this, i dont know.

Maybe so in process but it's certainly not a traditional parkerized finish!

I know - because it's not true.
