Those pix look good. I like the matte black slide and the polished frame. Also the bobbed hammer. But I don't necessarily like how he re-formed the frame.
I may try polishing mine this winter and even the bobbed hammer. I may go as far as the matte black finish if I can find someone to do it or learn it myself.
I also don't like the way he hacked the frame. The slide looks like it's been parkerized and there are many home kits to do it. I hear it's extremely simple. Try googling parkerizing at home and you'll see many examples.
This is what I'm looking to do, flat black parkerized slide, mirror polished frame and deep redwood grips. Should look great plus I'm bored and need a gun project.
i did it at home. Its still not 100% by any means, but all i did was take it apart (at least as much as you are comfortable doing) and hit it all with 320 grit sand paper first to remove the factory coating, then 400 grit, then 800 grit to smooth it all out, then mostly by hand with mothers aluminum polish. some of the smaller parts i used a dremel with a buffing wheel and the same mothers polish.
