PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Parkerizing?

Does anyone know who did the parkerizing on the WWII reproductions? I just called Colt and they told me that a vendor did the parkerizing. I asked who the vendor was but they are not allowed to give that information out.

LOL,....sorry just had to laugh a little.
1st, I don't know who did it, but I know why, Colt had such a horrible hit and miss quality on their prior park jobs they litteraly had to have someone else do the work for them. I have a mid 90's Colt that has a green park frame and black/grey slide.
2nd,....it seems whatever you call Colt "customer service" about these days they tell you they can't give you any info because it's a "big secret", sorry I couldn't be much help here, but then thats Colt for you.

mr1911, on the other hand, I have a parkerized 1991 whose finish is just outstanding. I also have observed several WWII repros and early 1991s that looked equally as nice.

Like I said,..."hit or miss", some guns are great, others not so.
I still love my Colts, just telling it like it is.

Are you talking about the Black Oxide?? If so, could it have been done by Ron's?
