Original Slide
what type of metal is the slide of an older Glock made of?
My friend has a glock 19 2nd gen from 1988 and the finish on the slide is chipping off badly. I can literally scrape it off with my fingernail. could I take a wire brush to it and buff and polish it or will it start to rust without the original finish? what kind of material is the slide made of?
Glock slides are milled from a single block of steel. I've heard of the parkerized finish coming off after a lot of use, but not to that extent. However, the Tenifer finish underneath it will keep it from rusting. Glock claims that the hardness level is near that of a diamond and will protect the gun even if the outer layer wears off.
The stainless look on glocks is pretty badass, IMHO, as long as you don't need to use it for any tactical or duty uses. However, if he wants the original finish restored, I'm sure glock would do it for a nominal fee...they're usually pretty good about that stuff.
