About 1 1/2 years ago my wife wanted to do something special for my birthday. She knew how much I love 1911's so she wanted to buy me one. We decided on an STI Lawman. It is such a sweet shooting gun, I was immediately impressed with it. But after breaking it down for cleaning I noticed that the blue finish had a cloudiness to it. I contacted STI who said that they had an issue with there bluing tank and would refinish it for me. I got it back and it was much better, but I was never really satisfied. I decided that I was going to have it coated, and I love the way the Colt Marine pistol looked so I had it done up in FDE with black accents. I am very happy with the way it looks now. It was done by Precision Firearms Coatings in Edison. Turnaround time was two days. Here are the before and after shoots.

 

 

Very nice.  Wish the pictures were larger though!

Nice.  I love STI pistols.  I've got a Spartan in .45 and wouldn't mind having a Lawman or a Perfect 10 at some point later down the road.

Sorry file size was an issue when posting.

Maybe this is better...

Ty this is a great pistol, very tight and smooth. The guy who did the coating was surprised by how tight the fit was. she shoots great too, very accurate. 

The lawman is a great 1911. My buddy has one and I plan on getting one in the future. Nice work on the duracoat. Looks like a place I can use for some work that's not too far

Very nice bro. Congrats on the new paint. I plan on using precision in Edison in the future for my favorite 1911.

looks incredible, they did a nice job. Beautiful pistol you have there!

Looks sweet!!

Is it done in cerakote or duracoat?
