FYI You don't need a gunsmith for this, be confident and you could do it yourself! Recommended to use the proper tools & Torque specs for screws. I will have the photos uploaded once I'm done, with the little time I have chopped in few mins each, this might take a while.

Who did you use for coating?

AB Prototype for Titanium Nitride, STS Firearms for the rest. The 2k11 Slide still has the factory coat, the grip for the XC is stock coat as well from TGV. Highly disappointed with AB Prototype for the long leadtime and after they sent it (WITHOUT INSPECTION) I received the slide of the 1911 with little flakings, that they didn't address it to me. I sent it to STS for recoating
