Removing Frame Finish

[Reinz]

My R9s frame's finish is getting pretty worn from daily carry.  I've been thinking about removing the black finish.

Has anybody done this?  Does anybody have advice and/or pictures?  

Thanks...

If you decide to replace it with black, the Rogaurd finish by Robar just can't be beat.  But keep in mind that they have two black finshes that they are not clear about.

The shiney one is the one they always show, and to to me, seeing it in person, looks cheap, like a toy,

The Matte finish is much better looking in my opinion, it looks professional and looks like you mean business.

Of course you can't go wrong with NP3 (gray) either.

Happy Shopping

After reading all these helpful answers and pondering a bit I've decided that the scrapes and scars on my R9s give it "character" and that I will just leave it alone.  

I've refinished several guns in the past with varying degrees of success and don't think I should subject this fine pistol to my shade tree finishing skills..

I was going to suggest you call and talk to Karl at the factory but you have come to the right idea IMHO.........Tom
