Alternative Firearm Coatings Home Page
I assume the coatings have held up without issue ...? How long have you had them? Have they been through a "decent" amount of abuse? i.e., in and out of holsters and whatnot?

I've never had a whole firearm cerakoted, just various parts, and mostly on rifles. But those get more abuse than the pistols anyway, and the cerakote holds up well. It scuffs and mars like any other firearm finish, but I haven't scraped any off yet.

Yes, my firearms get thoroughly abused. I confess that I'm not very concerned about the cosmetics.

Hmm those Raven holsters look really nice. They hold nice and tight to the body. I think I might give one a try with my Glock.

They're excellent holsters, but expensive, and there's about a 5 month backlog.

They do crack at the belt loops over time, true of almost any Kydex holster. At $80 a pop, that's the reason I just started making my own holsters. All you need is some foam, a toaster oven, some rivets and a heat gun. You can buy all the hardware necessary to press kydex for less than the cost of two Ravens and a mag pouch.

KelTec sounds good for a paperweight. These aren't competition weapons where a problem will cost you a trophy. Carry guns are meant to save lives. Aside from being small, carry guns must be as close to 100% reliable is a gun can come.

They seem like they are fun if you are willing to work on them. I know there are a lot of diehard owners out there that swear by them.

Ah well, they seem to be better than Hi-Point.

Only got the P32 because it's cheap, very small and light. Something I can throw in my pocket when wearing basketball shorts or something. Really inconvenient when you have to ask the mugger/rapist/murderer/bigfoot/leprechaun/smelly dwarf for a timeout while you clear round from the chamber

I have both the MTAC, and the Crossbreed. Personally, I find the Crossbreed more comfortable.
