Jeweling my ole 9mm smith....Done for Now

While polishing my stainless beadblasted 5906...I got the silly Idea of wondering what the side of my slides would look like jeweled... I have just started playing with the jeweling process....

... was curious what others would think of my silly project.:rolleyes:

I don't dislike the process but I don't like it on that gun. The plastic grip panels and the jeweling are at odds with each other.

Since you asked,
While I think jeweling small parts (trigger, hammer, etc.) can add a little personality to a gun, jeweling the slide looks outta place and just don't look right.

But apparently, some do like it.

Hows this Kreyz??

I know some will like and some wont... but thats ok... honest answers are what I was looking for...

... Since I the gun was beadblasted when I got it,,, then I polished it out...now I jeweled part of the slide... Im pretty sure a beadblast would fix all that I have done to it..and would be back to original resale value.

People who would complain about how it looks wouldn't hesitate to have a gun engraved. I like it better than some the engraved hunks of steel I've seen before.

Night and day DiscoRacing.

I think it looks much better with the wood panels on it. Not sure I'd do it with my gun but I think the wood compliments the gun and jeweling better.

I like it. I think it would look good on a revolver. Not one of the triplets cause they look good as is. (I'm still talking about guns) Maybe do something with a 4 inch barrel and wood grips.

Personally, I like it. Especially with the wood grips. I always thought factory jeweling would be a good option on guns marketed to the ladies, instead of just slapping a pink grip on.

Sure I would. I like my guns plain and simple. I don't care much for engraving and like the jewling even less.

But if you happen to like it, it's ok with me.
