Primed and painted the bottom of my 6 round mag

[Ranger]

Had some spare time yesterday so I primed and painted (black) the bottom of the 6 round magazine for my PM9. Has a much better look than the SS.

May have voided the warranty on the mag but frankly I don't care. It looks that much better.

Oh, I doubt that. If it's ever a problem, wipe the paint off with solvent, or with 000 steel wool.

RRP,
Good morning. I hope you're right about the mag.

All that being said, I think it is great when the only thing I didn't like about this gun was cosmetic. I actually go a bit far when I say "I didn't like". The more accurate statement would have been "I'd have preferred it to be black from the factory".

The PM9 is absolutely my favorite side arm. What a super CCW. And now I like everything about it!

If the paint doesn't hold up you might want to try cerakote. It's a ceramic industrial finish used on guns. It's sprayed and baked on in an oven. It can be done at home. Here's a link.
