Glock that needs some work, need help.

[VitruvianDoc]

I inherited my dads G17 (Gen 2) a while back and it still shoots like its a day old, but looks like its age.
Tenifer finish is almost gone off of the slide,
the barrell tenifer finish has major wear,
thumb release looks polished,
Trigger spring and recoil spring seem decent, but probably need to be replaced.

I have no gun smithing skills so I am looking to have it professionally re-finished as far as the slide and maybe the barrel, it doesn't seem as pertinent.

Any one local that would do the work? The gun has a strong sentimental value and I am hesitant to ship it off.

Refinsh as in factory or duracoat/crecoat?

For factory send to factory for painted finish Olyeller would be miy first choice.

Mike Cyrwus (olyeller on this board) owner of Accurate Iron does great work on Glocks, he did an awesome job on my G27.

I inherited my Dads Ruger and it looks rough, and I'll keep it that way. If it has a strong sentimental value to you as my Dads Ruger has to me I won't change a thing. Just my thoughts.

Olyeller did one of my pistols and he does top notch work.

Man I'd leave it just as is!!!! It's in really good shape!! Just change the springs and shoot it!!

I would leave it as it is. If it means a lot to you, keep it the way you received it.

My understanding is the Tennifer finish on the Glocks goes deeper than the "black" part of it, so it is probably still somewhat protected. So if you don't mind it the way it is, you shouldn't have to refinish it.

However, if that's what you want, do it!

Being a passed down firearm with sentimental meaning id keep it as is looks wise. Have mike go thru the internals but the the worn in look...if you really want it to look shiney and new than definately have mike do it...

I received my grandfathers pre-model 27 N-frame 357 and as much as id like it to shine like a new dime I like the wear it received from 20+ years on my grandads hip with OCPD

I like the tips about keeping it the way it is as far as finish, I was leaning that way to begin with but wanted some objectful outside opinions.

Next week i'll do a deep clean and examine everything within the innards and go from there.

Thanks everyone.
