Default Polished stainless steel hardware

I'm looking for some input on polished stainless steel hardware kits that are out there. Any reccomendations? Trying to avoid chrome plated hardware as the plating quality has really degraded over the years. The other thing I would like to hear from you guys is what you used on the threads (i.e anti seize or loctite purple). Thanks!!

SS hardware kits are good. Two places to use are Alloyboltz and possibly a better one is Diamond Engineering

Try a tube of Happich. It is sold in most gun stores and gun shows. It will make a stainless steel handgun look like nickel. Just a little dab on a rag and start rubbing. Then buff with clean rag.
