    Factory glock steel slide is polished, leaving no protection from the elements...

    most likely not, the glock tenifer finish is more than skin deep it is impregnated into the metal. you can take blueing and rub it on a bare glock and it won't faze it.

    Agreed


    Glock Ges.m.b.H., an Austrian firearms manufacturer, utilizes the Tenifer process to protect the barrels and slides of the pistols they manufacture. The finish on a Glock pistol is the third and final hardening process. It is 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) thick and produces a 64 Rockwell C hardness rating via a 500 °C (932 °F) nitride bath. The final matte, non-glare finish meets or exceeds stainless steel specifications, is 85% more corrosion resistant than a hard chrome finish, and is 99.9% salt-water corrosion resistant. After the Tenifer process, a black Parkerized finish is applied and the slide is protected even if the finish were to wear off.
    --From Wiki, so take it for what it is

    Unless the polishing took off more metal than listed above, the slide should be fine

    Don't really want to signal any more bad guys in the area,
    other than the one I'm confronted with. It's kinda like pulling
    a bright spotlight out of your holster.

    I find it ironic that the gun was turned from, well, a GLOCK, to a "nickle-plated sissy pistol."

    I should add that I know a guy who bought an old G22 Gen 2 police trade in, stippled the grip, replaced the internals, installed new Lone Wolf barrel, Punisher back plate, polished slide just like the above, and had the 2A engraved on it. It looks good and is pretty bada$$!
