Robar NP3 Finish for my CZ?

[j1979]

Been looking at some finishes for my CZ SP-01. Nothing wrong with the polycoat, I would just like something a bit different. After seeing some pictures of guns with the Robar NP3 finish, I think that would make my SP-01 look really really nice. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It is 285 for the gun and one mag plus shipping both ways, not sure if its worth it for a cooler look. Post #6 in this thread has a pic of a P01 in the NP3 finish. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=4173903 Thanks

NP3

There is no downside.

I had a P-01 NP3ed. Some pointers:

1) Don't have any of your pins coated, mine were out of spec after the job and I had to alter parts like the sear assembly to allow fluid motion.
2) I don't recommend coating the slide. Touching NP3 is like touching a teflon cooking pan....it's slick. The CZ has a small gripping surface and if your hands are sweaty it makes it difficult to cycle the action under stress.

Ditto on the slide. I had my P7 coated with NP3. The finish is gorgeous and experly applied. The problem is the slick slide. I live and shoot in Florida. With the strong recoil spring, It's embarassing trying to pull the slide back to lock it open, especially with sweaty hands. John

Here's one that I know about....

Guy posts here on occasion (Name = Yar). His '75SA worked over by Kory Charland, bomar cut, and NP3'd. It's a sick gun......

I've been thinking about having one of my early Transitional CZ75s done in NP3, but other things have gotten in the way. Now I know how much of my recreation fund can be set aside for the project. Thanks for providing answers on a project I've had bouncing around in the dark recesses of my semi-conciousness.
