MisterPlink Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Can somebody comment on the durability of the CZ Urban Grey finish? I’m window shopping CZ Shadow 2s and have noticed they sell for hundreds less in Urban Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robchavous Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Everyone I know with the gray ones have a ton of visible holster wear. Also talking with a shop owner he says they just don't sell as well as the black ones so they have to lower the price to move them. Personally I think they look khaki and are ugly.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanziegler Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Poke around the classifieds here and you can see examples of urban grey wearing significantly more than black. I have a black shadow with several thousand rounds with negligible wear. Edited December 14, 2018 by Seanziegler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regor Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 This thread will give you a good idea of the Urban Grey's finish durability from very heavy use. I've run five matches with mine and have about 2-2.5k rounds through mine and it is just starting to show a tiny bit of holster wear on the edges of the rail, and those parts have taken off a little bit of kydex from the inside of the holster as well. No signs on the trigger guard or the dust cover, but obviously only around 10% of the live fire use as the one above. FWIW I have a RHT holster with the retention adjustment knobs, so it's very easy for me to loosen the holster during dry fire or when I go to L&MR, which definitely helps to cut down on some wear. Not sure if the other guy is running a holster that is tighter/more prone to wear or if that's just what I should expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennig Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Polycoat is pretty rubbish to start with, but the Urbans seem to cop it way worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPlink Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Okay that’s enough to convince me to spend the money and get the black one instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re looking for a black, BNIB S2 (gen 2 frame that has the slide stop relief cuts) for less than retail, look me up on Gunnutz. Same user name.

Nathanb Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I love the wear on the guns. Vogels g34 was awesome to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccarper Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Been known the finish starts to flake very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkunkel38 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I don't know if the urban grey guns wear faster or if it is just more noticeable because of the black nitride underneath. When the black wears, there is just more black underneath. I have both a black and an urban grey shadow 2 and I don't notice the poly coat on one wearing more than the other.

lkunkel38 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 With that being said, I'm not crazy about the urban grey color and am going to have that frame cerakoted soon, probably tungsten grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccarper Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It does seems to be cheaper though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
