As the Story goes , I left town to teach a Wide Area Search Class. I left my Colt Combat Commander on the Night Stand for my Wife. She ended up with Brochitis and set up a Humidifier of all things on the Night Stand next to my CC. Well it didn’t take long for the humidity and the cordura holster to marry and give birth to baby RUST. 5 Days later I return home and see the Humidifier on the Night Stand …….. I screamed NOOOOOOO! and like a bad horror movie the nightmare was apparent. It was obvious that this would need a professionals help , I had heard good things about Cerakote so it seemed to be the solution for my nightmare. I contacted Aaron at Atwell Tactical and he said he would be able to help me. I had previously posted my CC on the forum , with its Mods…Trigger,Slide Polishing, Beavertail, Metal Checkering , XS Sights….you get the idea, anyway here are the pics of her now … Thanks and enjoy the Pistol
……SuttySorry to hear about your pistol, it’s like getting terrible news about a loved one. With that being said, I must say that your decision to have it cerakoted was a great solution. Very nice!
Just because I have no experience with cerakote, and think I might get some things coated some time, it looks like you got the barrel coated as well. How does that work? Have you noticed any issues in shooting it? Or is it like any other metal on metal fitting where you can throw some oil between the two parts and be just fine.
I know cerakote is different, but I wouldn’t want to paint a barrel (for a handgun) with spray paint. Just curious because it’s kinda hard to wrap my head around.
I must say though, it looks very nice!

I’m a little curious about this too, but I would assume that only the breech area was coated–maybe even just the portion exposed when the pistol is in battery. Cerakote between the barrel and bushing or on the locking lugs would be at best futile and at worst detrimental, I think.
