![]() ![]() ![]() I just wish I could shoot the pistol to its full potential - going to JH was one of the best decisions I have ever made. looks like nothing special (at my request), but it is very special. It was one of about twenty things that he did to the pistol. Matt is now going with a curtis custom Axiom which will be DLC'd. The Ion Bond was one of the easiest decisions. I still think the DLC with lube is much slicker. COLT DEFENDER 45ACP 3 SS CERAKOTE ION BONDSpecificationsBarrel Length:3'Caliber:45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP)Capacity:7< Out of stock. Matt and i both go our barreled actions done by LRI, he had his cerakoted there and i sent mine to be DLC'd. COLT DEFENDER 9MM 3 SS CERAKOTE & BLK ION BOND. Blasting is imperative IMO if you want the finish that Cerakote will give you when done right. The lines are clearly noticeable and the finish feels dramatically different. The smoothest cerakoted Deviant i've felt came was a friends of mine that came from Chad at LRI, he cerakotes thin enough for the action to retain some smoothness and he will tell you this. I missed a couple mags during a Cerakote run a few years back and decided to take the emory cloth to them instead. But cerakote is gummy there is no question about it when it comes to a custom action, it makes it feel sluggish. Yes DLC isn't the most corrosion resistant coating you can get, cerakote in that respect fares much better. Mostly because the defiances i've felt were cerakoted and i couldn't stand it. That's over my bare SR3 and any defiance i've felt. I love DLC though, my Tempest is the smoothest custom i've felt to date. I did pay 90$ extra to have the raceway and other parts of the action polished. Cost me 450$ by the time it was all said and done. ![]() Coat the action or bolt, and then have the barrel done in Cerakote to save some money. Take it from someone who coated their entire barreled action. Which is where i got my tempest DLC'd and just sent Dad's SR3 receiver there to get DLC'd. Hell the action is 416 stainless so unless you are leaving out in a salty environment or putting it away wet, corrosion is a non issue. A light coat of CLP, and then inspecting it before you put it away should be all you need to do. As long as you maintain your equipment you shouldn't have any worries about corrosion protection. You can't see it and it stays super slick with a very light amount of CLP. A smith can always polish the race way and certain contact points then cerakote the barreled action any color you wish but leave the raceway bare. There are tricks to smoothing out an action. I hear lead times can be pretty long sometimes as well. It is fairly pricey at anywhere between $250-$300 for a barreled action plus shipping back and forth to source and smith then you. Mine turned out excellent and that's the only place I would trust sending it too. I have had had a few done and Short Action Customs The FDE is not as slick or hard as the black due to the a different amount of carbon or some type of ingerdient, but the FDE is still slicker then a bare action or Cerakote. Those are the only two colors abvailable. Ionbond/DLC is either going to be black or FDE. ![]()
