Anyone have their pistols cerakoted? Curious how the finish holds up if you actually run the gun a bit. Also wouldn't mind seeing some cool pistols so feel free to post pics.

I have found it all depends on the prep and application....

I personally have only used duracoat that has been heat cured...  seems to hold up....

 

But as with anything it's the prep of the metal that matters....  

I restored a 22 marlin and Cerakoted it. I think it will hold up well and you will have usual holster wear spots.

This looks great. I'm certainly debating it. Would probably only do the slide of my handgun and just do the one I'll use for competitions. It won't make me shoot better but I'll look cooler while I miss.
