Is the slide 4140 or is it SS?
Is the slide 4140 or is it SS?
My VP9 slid down the highway for a bit. I replaced a couple of road rashed grip panels and sanded a little bit. Slide could probably be refinished, but 2 years later I haven't gotten around to it. Still runs like a top, carry it every day. A gun with a good story is always better.

The finish on my MK9 is similar to glass bead, might be easier to sand down the damage and just bead blast it.
I would fluff and buff, and keep as is for the story. Its like an old boat part, wagon, car part conversation piece, you keep it original. Do not try to hide what happened, keep it as is, maybe put on new sights, lube, polish rails, feed ramp springs, but keep the dents and scratch's, dings etc.
