It came in with a flat black paint finish in about 20% condition, with a really rough slide to frame fit. Really uglied up the showcase. Now it has a matte blue finish on the top half, with a satin hard chrome finish on the frame and both mags. Refit the slide to the frame, polished the chamber and feed ramp, and adjusted the trigger to 6# with the magazine safety still intact. Bore is excellent. These Argentine HiPowers are quality pistols and can really clean up well with a little effort.
