Let's talk finishes... Blued, Tennefin, etc.

[bimmerboy]

More specifically, I'd like to find out what finishes are on the following pistols. I have a Glock 19 and love the Tennefin (sp?) finish. How about...

Baby Eagle
CZ 75 P-01
Beretta 92FS
Sigs (226, 229)

Thanks.

your glock has tennifer applied to the metal parts but from my understanding it is not the finish the finish is a black oxide.

The Baby Eagle is cataloged as "black steel" which I take to mean a black oxide finish, like bluing only a flat texture.

CZ P01 is cataloged with a "Polycoat" coating finish. I don't know if it is an improvement over the old enameled guns or not.

Beretta 92FS is finished in "Bruniton" which is a Teflon containing coating applied over parkerized steel or anodized aluminum.

P226 is either blued or Ilaflon which is a cured coating.
P229 is Nitron which is a QPQ nitride finish somewhat like Tennifer or Melonite.
(Sig-Sauer Classics have anodized aluminum frames.)
