I am getting a Kimber Custom Classic and know that there will be at least 2 after-market, custom touches that I'd like to have done. 1)Checker frontstrap and 2) Have a new, tough, self-lubricating finish put on all parts. Pretty common things.

My question: is there ONE place I can send the gun to have this done for a reasonable price? I have ruled out Wilson Combat just because of the price and I know Ed Brown will not do such finishing. Arizona Response has an attractive finish option but doesn't do checkering...suggstions?

Thanks,
David

They can checker your frontstrap at 20 or 30 lpi. And they are very well known for their proprietary finishes. Since you want self-lubricating, their NP3 finish is the way to go, if you like your gun to be a satin grey color (like a dull stainless steel finish). If you want a black finish, then their Roguard might be the way to go. Remember though, black finishes are not as tough as NP3, hard chrome, etc. And NP3 has the most self lubricity I believe.
 
ShooterDave,
Why not send it to the Kimber Custom shop. They'll do both checkering and refinish with KimPro (similar to Wilson's Armor Tuff or Birdsong's Black T) at reasonable price. I've seen their work, they've done excellent job.
Regards,
