Tin Coating and others local to HOuston

Will they do other coatings, such as TiCN or AlTiN?

^^ This I would be interested in knowing but I'd think the firearm would have to be stainless or carbon steel to hold up to the temps for applied coatings as they have a melting point over 1450 F NP3 is still the bees knees of resistance and wear as far as coatings go and moly resins are great too, but all in all it depends on if it's done right and impact wear as with any surface finish it will degrade quickly and rob the subsurface materials of protection via flaking and in the case of some finishes actually hold in stuff you don't want because of the surface peaks.

most expensive shield EVAR! lol

How long did this take from leaving your hands to back in your hands?

Now I'm considering sending the shield and cz barrels in.

I couldnt find how much it cost you.

$30-40 each is my guess, they are not a retail operation, so you have to call and even then they don't speak good engrish, lol

How much does TiN change the tolerances? I would not do this to any part on a firearm unless you know what it will do to the dimensions of the part. Also be wary of what it will do to wear on the gun. A part that is made to wear faster than the adjacent part is TiN coated may cause the other part to wear. Granted I think there is most likely little worry about this but it may be a factor as well as promote galling between two parts.

These are throw away guns not 1911's, lol
