Does anyone/place do duracoat (and do it well)?

 

Looking to get my 590 done.

 

 

Try paterson gunsmithing....Marco does a great job so you may want to look him up.

He has a thick dominican accent, and he is a gunsmith PRO...been in paterson for 30 years...even has a little range downstairs to you can check his work...

The main thing about Duracoat is it is a do-it-yourself finish. It's a little over a hundred bucks for the stuff and some tools needed and it can be done in the home on a weekend.

 

If you're gonna pay for it to be done by a professional, why not go with a professional grade finish such as Cerakote, Molyresin, etc.

 

I sent a gun away to be Cerakoted. Absolutely amazing finish.

 

Durability was my main concern. I am extremely cynical and rarely trust any advertisement so I ordered free samples from the company to abuse the hell out of the stuff myself. They sent me half a dozen pieces of small sheet metal coated with Cerakote. I took a knife to them and could barely even get to bare metal, scraping hard. i tried various nasty solvents like brake cleaner, chlorinated brake cleaner, it held up great.

 

Including shipping charges I paid a total of $225 from http://www.customizedcreationz.com they are stand up folks and would certainly go there again.

 

I have a Cerakoted gun, and also have had experiences with Duracoated guns and Aluma-Hyde II coated guns, there is simply no comparison. Moly Resin is also an amazing professional grade finish.

He's in Jersey, has anyone got anything done by him?

 

I'd like my Charter coated with something but I can't decide on what. Or what color it should be.

 

Pink Ray. It fits you. :lol:

 

More like OD green, or any dark green. chucklehead

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
