Laser Engraving

#1

Post by LedJedi »

Just wondering if any of you folks have looked into this or not.

Just picked up a Taurus 92 as a gift for my mom and am having it laser engraved today with two phrases "Don't Tread on Me" on one side and our last name on the other.

Have any of you ever had your pieces engraved thusly? I'm seriously thinking about having the same done with my Taurus 24/7 as well.

Will post pictures later today when it's done.

That's disturbingly cool! I just had visions of doing a custom 1911 sorta like that and having some AlumaGrips done to match........

Here's the engraving after we got it back from the shop. It's not as elaborate as the flames, but i'm sure my mom will flip over it none the less.

The quality on this photo does NOT do the job justice. It looks pretty sweet. I just wish there was more room on the slide.

Our family last name is engraved on the other side of the slide in script. Not shown for obvious reasons.

Sorry I went hunting this weekend and was just now able to check this thread.

Lone wolf distributing did it and they have a ton of cool options.

You said it is lazer etched right? Will it ware with the finish? Did they have to do any type of refinishing? Can you explain the process at all?
