My recently cerakoted Ruger SP101 357 magnum

Thought I'd post a few pics of my recently cerakoted Ruger SP101. I had it done in sniper gray and graphite black. I'm really happy with the way it came out.

Before-


After-

It looks cool. Is that the only reason?

 

[ColtPythonElite]

Not my cup of tea.

Looks good. That gun is all business.

I was thinking about getting an old S&W Model 59 done that way.

Let us know how the Cerakote holds up.

not shiney. I like it. it almost sucks up light.

 

[BHP FAN]

...and the grips are pretty sweet, too. much better than the stock ones.

 

[stressed]

Looks like it is already chipping down by where the cylnder arm folds open.

just for something different?

I'm just not a fan of all stainless guns really, and I had a free cerakote job at a local store here in Boise.

I just looked at the bottom of the cylinder crane where it looks to be chipped in the photo. It was just oil residue from when I cleaned it. It wiped right off.

I have shot 50 rounds through it so far. .357 mag ammo is really hard to find right now.

I have those unigrips on my pocket gun. Love 'em.

That's definitely a concealable piece. It's like stealth-bomber paint.

I like the new look as well. Definitely gives it a hard, no nonsence appearance.

I'd love to hear back on how well the finish on the breech face and cylinder wears over time - probably my biggest reason for not 'coating a revolver is due to concerns that the finish would wear poorly in those areas....

 

[smalls]

I was so ready for a huge disappointment, but man that looks great.

 

[Cocked & Locked]

I really like it...but, I'm surprised that I do.

 

[627PCFan]

How is the turn line holding up?

 

[snake eater 332]

Very nice!

 

[Stevel]

I like it. Looks like a working gun.

 

[340PD]

Interesting. Looks like a great, low maintainence, all business revolver. I love guns like that.

 

[Outlaw Man]

Looks really good. I like the choice of colors.

 

[SeanSw]

Looks great to me. I'd use different grips for carry but that gun is all business the way it is.

 

[Orion8472]

I like the subtle two tone of it. Nice choice.

Once read a quote, "Beware of a man who loves black. He is dangerous."

 

[jerkface11]

I would have left the cylinder stainless.

 

[anothernewb]

That's a tough looking gun. like it!

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

Great looking gun. Glad to see people customize theirs. Don't worry about those that don't like it, it wasn't done for them anyway.

 

[RealGun]

Personally, I would only do that to a gun that was hopelessly beat up. Glad you like though.
