·I'm new to this forum so I would first like to say hello to ya'll.
I'm having my first custom carry 1911 built by George Smith at EGW.I picked George because I've met him several times and hes from my home town back in Pa.And ofcourse he makes quality pistols.I'm having my gun built on a Caspian Officers frame and Commanders slide.I've been thinking a stainless steel frame with a blued slide that will eventually makes its(slide) way to Mr.Birdsong in Florence, Miss..I am also considering a hard chrome finish.Problem is I dont know to much about the stuff.Do all the parts besides the frame and slide need to be plated?Or could just the frame and slide be plated leaving all other parts stainless?I like the look of a matte stainless gun.Can chrome be made to look this way.I may be interested in a mirror finish on the flats.Havent decided yet.I want this gun to look as nice as I think stainless looks.I live in south Louisiana so humidity and sweat is a problem.Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Maybe some of you have some pictures of chromed pistols you could share by posting here.Thankyou.
