Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Here are some pictures of my latest Competition blaster. This is coated using Cerakote Graphite Black on the slide, and Burnt Bronze on the frame and grip. I think it looks pretty cool. We will see how long this coating lasts and still looks good.
Slight thread derail, but why doesn't your slide have any sort of machining to help with manipulation? Seems like a game gun might benefit from some sort of slide serrations of some sort. Just curious.Originally Posted by CHA-LEE

I Think it is called durablack? The only problem I have with that, is that they get rid of the original Glock finish, they sandblasted down to the bare metal, and then they put their own process on it
I get all my guns refinished every 100 rounds. It's like a car-the prettier it looks, the better it works!
Just call me 47
I'm in the "who cares one way or the other" camp. I take care of all my guns. But I also don't mind shooting all of them. The last G22 I carried on duty looked like the front half of the slide was stainless steel. Frankly, guys who say they want a gun to carry and ask "what kind of holster should I get to prevent wear on the gun?" always irritated me a little bit. It's a carry gun...why worry about holster wear? That's like worrying your nice camo outfit you just bought at Cabela's is gonna get dirty if you wear it when you go hunting.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?

Seems like anymore I never get to take it out of holster except to clean out the lint once a month. Bad weather and no free time = no matches or range time.
Guess I am lucky, been carrying my G19 for almost 2 years and almost no holster wear.
I think it was Clint Smith who said when he died, he wanted everyone to raid his gun safes and say "Awwww, man. These guns are all worn out!"
Holster wear is sexy. This pic is a few years old. The side just says "Special Force" now...
Everyone post up pics of your holster wear!

My carry gun is a lot like my wife...a little worn around the edges, but a perfect fit for me, and does what I need when I need it to. The gun is a lot lower maintenance, though...

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
