Has anybody come across touch up paint, a paint stick that matches the finish on the Tanfoglio Witness 1911? Serrations on slide paint missed!

I dont know of any paint that would match, but i would say be careful not to get paint into the works.... taking off the slide and disembeling and removing the internals might make it ok to spray paint but you prob dont want any paint getting inside on the rails where it might flake and do something bad.I have seen this air gun looking pretty cool where people have disasembled the slide and sanded it down to the bare metal with wet and dry sandpaper...but that looks like a lot of work.I think you should prob complain to the seller if it came like that.

I don't know,I mix some colors together like silver and black.I polish the barrel which the top of the slide make the most scratches.

I am sorry you are experiencing this issue; mine has a similar defect too by the serrations. I decided not to do anything with it. Any touch up will make it look worse - trust me. If you do a little research, you will see that some have removed the paint completely, and then used some polishing paste - the result is amazing; a high gloss stainless steel look! Capelos, on You-tube has a video reviewing this gun, and at the end shows how it looks without the paint! You can remove the paint from the slide and barrel only, for a two-tone look, or remove it from the frame, as well, for a complete stainless steel look! If you read my full review you will see that I had recommended to the manufacturer to offer it "blued" or, better yet parkerized! I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi, how are you? Thanks for your question. Are the grip panels not fully touching the frame of the firearm, or is it only that the two grip panels are not touching each other at the back of the grip? Your friends at Fuddlebucks

I suppose. I didn't want to ruin the finish of my brand new M&P9.; So, I took it to a gunsmith. I wrapped my other pistols with blue tape to protect the finish as much as possible. They were used so I didn't mind. Just ensure the pusher is lined up with the front sight channel, before you attempt to remove. Hope that was helpful. It even worked on my XD, which is reported to be the hardest.

On a striker fired pistol you need to rack the slide after every test shot. Have the same issue with my Ruger SR45, but not my 1911!

Depends on what you have. If your paint is faded or in bad shape it wont matter. If your looking at a new paint job, it adds depth and gloss to your base color. For a touch up for scratches you'd want to use clear to blend in the repair. I don't however recommend this brand for anything other than small repairs. IT has to much reducer and Flashes (dries) to fast. Normally a fast drying paint is what you want but this stuff is drying as soon as it leaves the gun.

Forgot to mention, I do own the Kasina. I bought a Procyon first, sent it back because of a defect, bought the Proteus and it is in a drawer not being used. While I had the Procyon, it was great. I don't know why I didn't get the Procyon again. The Kasina has something called ColorTrack or ColorOrgan (can't remember the actual name) which does nothing for me.

I don't get it. Mine are awesome. The color, fit, texture all top notch. I've had them on the same 1911 build since I received them. I also wanted a set of black on OD green but accidentally order them the opposite, The customer service was great, I set the set back, it was corrected, No problems. I'm sorry and shocked to hear of your experience.

Looking at his post for Crimson Trace the seller list he has Grips for Round and Square butt S&W. With that thought in place he likely has Grips to fit many models of S&W. My advice would be contact the seller and find out from him what exactly he has. God Bless

KRUD KUTTER works better on fresh applied paint. I'll suggest to check it on small area first.

For touch up it can be used if you are doing cold bluing but it will not exactly match a flat black finish. I re-blued a Russian Mosin Nagant and the finish came out good but only because of extensive prepping the surface. If the surface is not prepped enough then you will end up with a rusty reddish looking color.

I ordered the smooth, but got the textured shipped to me by mistake, but I chose to keep it, it looks great with the textured finish and the paint is much more resistant to scratches than the smooth finish, I had it for a while now and I don't have a single scratch on it. Hope this helps.

I've thought about doing my EDC Benchmade Stryker. Given I take it in and out of my pocket, constantly I'm reticent about it. Thinking about it thought. Can tell you it does AWESOME on my Glock. I posted a pic of it.

the compensator looked amazing on my 1911, it did not match up perfectly and i was ok with that. It was until i decide to chamber a round that i realized it stopped my slide from going all the way back and not allow a round to be fed . i have since then taken it off and have been too lazy to return it, i have a springfield 1911 champion.

No paint touch up kit was included.Any black flat paint would work - something like rust - o - leum might be best.

Is it worth $75? Quality-wise, I would say "yes". Is it absolutely necessary? I would say "no". I did put one on a Colt build as a "happy-to-glad" upgrade, but only after I upgraded the flash-hider, added an EOTech XPS3 and GripPod, and snagged some extra PMags. If you no other real upgrades you want to do, and you have the disposable coin, you definitely won't regret buying this part. Looks pretty cool, to boot, and functions very well, also.

I must be the unlucky customer. As much as I wanted to like this magnet and believed the advertising, it scratched the hell out of my stainless Springfield 1911. These scratches don't wipe off either- will likely require refinishing my slide to get them out. I do place and remove the gun daily, so maybe it's not intended for that, but be careful. I'd recommend placing rubber or foam tape over the ABS surface for insurance against scratches.
