What would be the blackest finish which is somewhat similar to a parkerized texture for a 1911?

Ferritic nitrocarburizing

Ferritic nitrocarburizing is a process that creates a very black finish that has the side benefit if being incredibly hard. It usually is applied to a bead blasted gun for a dark matte black appearance. The Tennifer process from Glock is a form of this. Try Dave Severns Hard Hat for a top notch job. Good Luck!:rock:
