Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone here into firearms?

I gotta say, I love my Glock but I am not in love with it. I love that it's dead reliable, shoots well, and really just does whatever I ask

I gotta say, I love my Glock but I am not in love with it. I love that it's dead reliable, shoots well, and really just does whatever I ask of it... but aside from that it's really boring. It will remain my primary carry gun and it and my future Glocks will be my workhorses, but **** me if they aren't boring! Love 'em for it, though.

Out of the box, yeah they're pretty plain. The limits are nearly endless with them, here's some of my toys Nissan 370Z Forum - Glokwork's Album: Toys

Very true.

I am planning my G26/G17 and future AR to be my "system."

The rest is just for fun.

Seems even worse with my M&P. M&P owners' idea of customization is stippling

There's always cerakoting...

I've used these guys several times. They do some great work.

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.
