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.

Rocks are parkerized, and it can range in color from black to grey to a greenish color. The greenish color is reminisent of the older parkerizing. the newer parkerizing uses manganese and gives a blackish grey color. the older used zinc and came out with a greyish green color.. hope this helps

Frames and slides are not parkerized together. Mine have an almost black slide and an almost olive drab frame. After several applications of Hoppes #9 they both look black unless looked at very closely.
