Had a Colt 1991a1 built out (see post). Biggest disappointment so far I must say is the Black Gun Kote over black parkerizing. What total crap. Either the smith applied it incorrectly, or it's just crap, but the gun looks like it's been through WW3. 3 IDPA matches and perhaps 1000rnd, and it looks like it's 50 years old.
I don't mind character marks on a hard used gun that's not a safe queen, but this is crazy!
It was the smith who wanted to do that coating, and I am always open to trying something new. I like good old bluing just fine myself...
Gun was returned to smith for removal of Gun kote and something FAR tougher to be used.
Either it was applied incorrectly (although he's done others for other people) or the people that say this coasting is tough own safe queens. As this is my first (and last) gun with this coating, I don't know which is the correct answer....
