I need to know which material is more shiny so I can have my gun body made out of it.  Please indulge me with your info.

Thanks

Yeah, I was wondering that too.

Silver will not hold up well. Pewter probably wont either.

He did say material and mentioned getting his gun body made out of it, whereas silver is useless, expensive and would scratch to pieces. Pewter is a crappy, dull, and incredibly weak metal that is found in Brass Eagles (hehe) and would probably explode. AND, you can't anoodize either of them. ALUMINIUM/ TITANIUM / STAINLESS STEEL is probably what he's referring to.

You probably want a material that has the least amount of friction.

Listed least to most:
1. Titanium- most slick, lightest, and most durable. Incredibly expensive.

2. Brass- slick, but its too soft, not shiny, and needs LOTS of maintenance.

3. Stainless Steel- good durability, slick, no maintenance.

4. Aluminum- lightest, good durability, but the least slick out of all of them.

I'd say go Titanium if you have a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket (big wad), otherwise have it cut out of stainless steel.
