What is your preferred gun finish/color?

[Kruel J]

^^^This! That's why my G19 has the factory NiBX slide. I waited months to pick it up just to have a "factory" two tone Glock. Yes, I know it wasn't done by Glock but WMD had a contract with them and it looks great!

WMD??? It's a weapon of mass destruction!! Run for the hills....

 

[Kruel J]

Yes, that's the company's name. They had a contract with Glock for nickel boron coatings. And yes, I'm running!

I have always favored black! But I gotta say that my new truck pistol in cerakote dessert tan is pretty dang sexy! I might have to have Jon @NWCustomFirearms do something special to the AR10 he is building for me.

I have a black one, and it is a great shooter. Wanted the tan one ever since I got it, so hopefully picking a few up this morning...

What do you like the best if you could have your guns in any color combo?

Stainless is always my preference living in the PNW but that doesn't always work out for me.

I like the idea of coating a few in crazy colors, but in general, I like grey over black guns (polished stainless with black accents are very much my style).


So what do you go for if you have a choice?

For handguns, Robar's NP3 finish is really quite awesome.

The finish is being applied to AR Bolt Carrier Groups too:

I kinda like that... Would contrast nicely on an AR...

Both of my handguns were shipped to Phoenix to be refinished by Robar Guns.

They sell milspec BCG's that are already refinished, on the Robar Pro Shop's website. Sharps Rifle Company also sells them on their website too.

They will even refinish 1911's in it, even though they are antiquated handguns.

I'm sure it won't be long until you can get a coating that makes your gun glow in the dark.

Hope it's nice out for ya!

Shoot go even if it's cruddy out, consider it real world. I'm sure it will handle it fine.

I didn't even clean the black one until after the first ~500 rounds with no problems until just near 500. Had a few failures to fully return to battery requiring a nudge to the slide.
