To robarize or not robarize?

[aatruong]

Hi everyone,

I just recently acquired this sphinx from a fellow calgunner and have been pondering to send the upper to Robar (to be refinished in either np3 or plain nickel). This way, it'll match the frame and well...you know what robarizing will do to our guns. This gun will be a shooter and kept for my sons so I'm not really concerned about how it will enhance (or not) the value of the gun. So, go bling or go home? Any insights would greatly be appreciated. Thank you. Andy

I bought a NP3 treated 75D from a fellow calgunner. The finish is awesome -- no signs of wear and cleanup is a snap! (and I think it looks nice too )

that looks great. I've heard the NP3 finish is a bit slippery compared to other finishes. what would you say?

Those are purdy. I'll wait till I get a hold of my POFs before I decide to get my other weapons coated or not.

Coating wont make it shoot better.


Enjoy as is and spend the money on ammo.

I thought that NP3 was too slippery for a grip surface. I had Ceraplate put on my P7's and it offers the same color and style finish, but without the slipperiness of the NP3.

The NP3 is a little slick compared to other surfaces. Fortunately on the CZ the rubberized grips provide more than enough gripping surface.

I'am thinking about doing an NP3 on a spare Glock 20 slide I have.

I am thinking about a simple POLISH here at home like this photo:


OR pay for the Robar NP3 Plus on the slide only:

I been thinking on NP3 on the internals and robargard for the frame

I had a Para P14 Ro-blacked on the outside and NP3 on the internals and have no regets. I'm convinced that the NP3 has allowed the hammer and sear engagement to last longer than a non-treated surface. This gun will run almost completely dry. Very little lube is required, slick stuff.

I usually run most of my non-polymer guns (usually 1911's) wet...but I can't say that I remember to do this 100% of the time (luckily the guys at the range can spare some lube) so this may work out. Thank you mossbergman!

I have the barrel, locking block, and guide rod np3'd. Have to say I like the stuff
