I visited a Kentucky branch of the company who coats the Sig Sauer slides and barrels. They have 2 other branches in the US and their Pennsylvania branch does the coating for Sig. Richter Precision from Germany. I am told there are only 3 companies in the US who apply these coatings. Hans Richter is the inventor. Or at least the company owner. I was told the new type of PVD coating did not stick well, widely known. The company went back to a older coating and all is good. I saw 2 Glock barrels and a 700 Remington rifle bolt waiting to have some type of coating applied at the Kentucky facility for a friend of its Manager. Thought I would pass on my little discovery. | ||

The Kentucky plant seems to coat a lot of cutters, carbide end mills, trim blades of some type, substraights and form dies. Titanium nitride mostly. I went to see them about work. I really have no interest in this kind of work. The on line reviews describe it as boring and low pay. Nice people but I need to actually be doing things with my mind and hands. | |||

The finish on my legions hasn't peeled or flaked, but it wears very easily, showing metal underneath. It's less durable than the finish on any other firearm I own. It's an attractive finish, until it gets used once. | |||

Yeah the finish on the legions to me is a downgrade from a standard Sig Nitron. I have seen new legions in the case that look like they have 2000 rounds through them from being handled by customer. Unless these guns are being dropped 10 times a day there is no reason they should look like that. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

The new finish on the Gen 5 Glocks are some sort of DLC. How are they holding up? | |||
