Q: I was wondering if it would be possible (and at what cost) to order an Escort (or possibly Guardian) in .45 without the "STI Escort" rollmark? I like the Texas rollmark on the other side, but I find the size and font of the "Escort" unattractive. Thanks.

I am happy STI responded quickly. A surface plate, lots of sandpaper, some home-brew parkerizing and lots of patience could be one way to get rid of the roll marks. Such a plan is not for everyone.

I did consider that for about a millisecond.
Something about slapping spackle on a brand new >$1,000+ firearm makes me cringe.

Lauer makes something called DuraFil that might work but JB Weld is cheaper.
