Bought a new (used) M9 to replace my old one that packed it in, and it came with a scratch on the red dot, so I removed it to try and repaint it... then I turned to fire to help remove the old paint and ended up preferring the raw tempered look, so think I will stick with it for now! What you think... seen anyone do this before?! I'm sure it will divide opinions!

I like it - a lot.

This is most probably the only M camera in existence with a flame hardened Leica logo.

 

@jdlaing  Here is a beautiful example of a case hardened lever action rifle - I would love to have a Browning P-35 with this finish.  Maybe one day...
