PGNAV Posted December 2, 2021 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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! Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Hi PGNAV, Take a look here LEICA M9 CUSTOM TEMPERED RED DOT. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ianman Posted December 2, 2021 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2021 It looks ok. Maybe post a full frontal of the camera. Dots don’t usually cause the same level of division as deliberate brassing so you should be safe I’ve a black dot on mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Edited December 5, 2021 by Herr Barnack 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
