Hey guys!
I've got a Smith and Wesson 459, was my first handgun, given to me by my parents on my 21st birthday. I love this gun very much, and barring a minor disaster, intend to keep it until the day I die and pass it along to my child/children.
The pistol is in good condition, but definitely not minty. It was my first carry gun, and has seen its fair share of time at the range. Now I believe its time to move it up to 'barbecue gun' status. I've almost decided on having the steel parts black nickel plated, but am open to other ideas. My question for you guys is, what should I have done to the aluminum lower frame? I'm looking for suggestions that will go well with black nickel on the slide and whatnot. Barring that, other 'fancy' finishing suggestions. Thanks guys!
