Hello, all.
I thought I'd mention this as I recall reading somewhere on this forum about people not liking the laser-etched "CZ-USA, KANSAS CITY, KS" import mark on the right front of the frame: I was able to darken the lettering with Birchwood Casey's "Perma Blue" Liquid Gun Blue (applied with a Q-tip) to the extent that it is now, for all intents and purposes, virtually invisible. If I look *real* close at an angle, I can still see the *relief* of the lettering, but at normal viewing distances in daylight, the etched metal surface of the letters has been blued sufficiently to blend in with the surrounding black polycoat.
I did this with both my black polycoat 75B and 97B pistols; needless to say, this will *not* work with the satin nickel finished frames.
If you intend to try this, please note that I was using Birchwood Casey's "Perma Blue," which, from what I understand, is a fairly mild bluing solution. There's no guarantee that another brand of bluing liquid will not attack the polycoat.
