Is the lower Glock a G19?

Mine and all the other 2-tone Glock's are either 17's or 22's.

If you like the cosmetics (pimp gun) fine. I don't think the plating adds anything functional to a Glock.

Now that is a truly sorry comment. It is quite unnecessary to
disrespect another THR member like that. Would you call a bi-tone
Ed Brown 1911 or a Sig Sauer P226 a "pimp gun"? The plating may not
add anything, but a lot (if not all) gun manufacturers offer bi-tone
models in their lineups. Of course, its taken for granted, that you know
more than the engineers at all those gun makers.

I guess that I am opening myself up to ridicule, but I have a Gen 4 17 with the same finish and love the thing. It cleans up easier that the normal Glock finish and is more aesthetically pleasing in my eyes. For sights, I added a 10 8 U notch rear with a Dawson fiber optic front. I don’t buy that the finish increases the relability but mine has been 100% with over 1,200 rounds down the pipe.

i'm wondering if the claim of non-lubrication for the FZ coating stands on the FZ Glock, or do they recommend standard lubrication like a "normal" Glock??

it's kind of strange that FZ only offers their coatings exclusively on Glocks only.. they just refuse to coat any other make.. are there other places that offer the EXO coating??

Cylinder & Slide use to market a FailZero 1911 called the Trident.

At the C & S site they don't specifically say FailZero so I don't know if they changed to a different finish for the Trident.
