I just picked up a very nice P7. The slide has turned plum and I was considering getting it refinished and was looking for advice on what finish is the best for CCW.
I'd leave it alone or carry it for a while... if you want a white steel colored finish (or something very different from blued or "plum"), then I'd consider refinishing.... Is this a PSP or M8...
Oh.. no it won't wear away.. it's a result of a chemical bath. It should wear like other blued finishes, meaning scratches should show the bare metal. The purple tint will not wear off leaving a more grey/blued tone.
