Bigbadaboom Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Trident Weaponry finished my M&P Pro 9. All internal friction parts and the barrel are done in Cerakote Micro Slick lubricating dry film coating. The slide is Cerakoted in their custom color "Charred Crimson" under burnished black giving it their battle worn look (which both Eric Stanley and I like the term Steampunk better) and then topped with Cerakote matt clear. They stippled the grip and it doesn't move in wet hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR Gunner Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Pretty groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorfish Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 You may want to look at this before a major match: stipple.JPG Maybe it's a 3Gun or Limited Minor gun. In addition to the stippling I believe the "Micro Slick lubricating Dry Film coating" Cerakote would be a Production Division issue. Although you can refinish a production gun, the new finish can't add a competitive advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorfish Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 The thread title is "My production gun" Bummer... Well in that case, I would just call the finish Cerakote and leave off the Micro Slick dry film coating thing. I've never heard of "un-stippling" a poly frame but I suppose it could be smoothed out enough as to not cause a competitive advantage. Nice looking M&P though. My youngest son refinished his slide but insisted on emailing Troy before he did just to be certain it didn't knock it out of Production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Maybe I'm just missing it looking on a phone but what portion is outside of the lines that you guys are seeing? The joint of the grip and the trigger guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Maybe I'm just missing it looking on a phone but what portion is outside of the lines that you guys are seeing? The joint of the grip and the trigger guard? Under the trigger guard I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixty Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I would assume the trigger guard since the rules specifically says no stippling on the trigger guard. He did say production gun so I hope the company that did the work didn't just put him out a ton of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadaboom Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) 12) I want to hard-chrome my gun, but hard-chrome provides “non-cosmetic functions” (such as lubricity, rust prevention, etc). Is hard-chroming allowed? ANSWER: YES, as long as the new finish provides no competitive advantage (such as roughened texture where stippling or grip tape would not be allowed, per Appendix E4). Micro slick only provides internal lubricity. The competitive advantage clause in production division for finishes is clearly written to inform that they mean an ability to grip the slide easier than with a factory finish. The stippling in the undercut has already been addressed and fixed. Took 2 minutes.
