I visited with a business called FTW Coatings ( Welcome to FTW Coatings Online ) in Wichita today. I was thinking of having my Stainless slide, stop pin and slide back end coated black.

I asked several questions:
1. Will surface scratch---NO
2. Ceramic finish and very hard
3. Tight tolerances on Kahr may cause fit problems---NO. The finish is .001 thick
4. Finish is sprayed on inside slide and outside.
5. Finish is not shiny. It's a flat satin look
6. Multiple colors
7. Artistic design can be applied. Like a Air Brush would do.
8. Karh's trigger would not be coated as the trigger pin is pressed in. Very hard to get out expecially an all steel handgun. Poly has a chance of damage enough to replace possibly.
9. Has done up to 30 karhs among others
10. If dropped would it chip since it's ceramic---not likely. Of hundreds of assault type rifles and handguns he's done he's not seen a problem.
11. $50-60 for slide and incidental parts.

It doesn't sound like a bad deal

 

[Ratfink]

Exactly my point...I think it sounds like a good deal. I think bob should get'r done!:money:

I'm thinking on it. The price isn't too bad and I did want an all black to start with. On the other hand 50-$60 would get my savings started for a hand loader.

Put your money towards the hand loader ...............the stainless is easy to maintain and you won't have to worry about it !!!

So did you have the Kahr "coated"

Why would you want your hand loaded :crazysmile:

 

[ron54]

It must have come unloaded.........,,,!!! :getdown:

 

[lefty60]

What was it loaded with (try to be nice) :getdown:

 

[ron54]

Probably a glass of Jameson's ...................

 

[lefty60]

I guess that what he wants is a server standing by with prompt refills, ie; "hand loader" :getdown:
