    WTK: How's the Finish Holding Up on Your Basic Carry???

    I'm in the process of purchasing a LNIB RRA Basic Carry.
    I would like to know how the finish is holding up for owners out there who have been carrying the Basic Carry for a while.
    Don't really like the parkerized finish but would still like opinions.
    Thinking about sporting this sidearm for a while then go to another finish.
    Maybe Hard Hat or Brushed Chrome.

    Iknow,,,Iknow,,, I'll post pics as soon as it's in my posession.

    GGGZUMM nobody carries one of these gems???
    Shot mine at the range with 230gr Extreme coated with 4grns of Clays behind it and had a blast....
    Shoots into one hole at 15yrds easy.
    Had it in a Galco Combat holster and could see the Park getting shinny on the muzzle end of the slide.

    Own two and have carried/shot one extensively since I bought them approx 10yrs ago. I just went with the basic finish and it has held up remarkably well. Been carried/shot in temps from below freezing to the low 100s. rain, snow, etc. At first I just wiped it down with a lightly oiled cloth but now use frog lube which is a remarkable cleaner/protectant. Bottom line is they both look as good as they did when first purchased.
