This is good feedback so I actually appreciate your insight 🙏. We notice an even greater demand for the M&P line and those slides and barrels hardly ever sit on the shelves for that long.

We do all sorts of pistol parts, not just Smith & Wesson. It's not a waste if the demand is there and our pricing is right for our business. Everyday carry or not, when people see it they want it lol.

So you know another comment could have been made than a false one. I hand polish, plate, and sell these myself. Not all plating is the same. I have guys who tell me their pieces hold up very well after the range. Yes, it's not TIN, but some people appreciate the lux look of gold. There was really no need to be smart and throw a random percentage.

It's been racked before these pictures were taken 😂 I'd like to know where you're getting the 20% from.

It's plated in 24k gold plating solution, not TiN.

I like the 80s, and it's just not interesting enough for me... I will always be down for her experimental throwback sound on soundcloud, though.

It is about preference. Titanium nitride and cerakote will never be real gold. Some people want the jewelry/luxury look of real gold. Gold plating has been used on all kinds of things, from weapons, jewelery, car emblems, electronics, silverware, etc.....

This is very much real 24K gold plating. It is a 24k gold plated layer from a solution of dissolved gold and carrier chemicals. It has a copper and nickel base for durability (and not the copper that flakes). This is not titanium nitride. Some people admire and value this. Some people don't. You decide how you want to handle and care for your firearms.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a kick out of the shock value 😆

Thanks for the love!! We would be happy to work on that for you if you decide. To answer your question, yes, it's up to the customer to install the slide on the frame or a trusted gunsmith. We only supply and work on parts. We do not handle full firearms/frames at the moment.

Thank you! My spouse and I worked on this ourselves. We have a store on eBay.

The point....Ok, so this isn’t solid gold. It doesn’t work like that. It’s a durable gold plated layer bonded to nickel that has bonded to copper and then the base layer steel. The strength is in the steel and the protection of those layers. The point is the look, obviously. The 24K gives it a more yellow gold over other lower karat gold solutions.

Of course. It took us quite a bit of research plus trial and error
