Have any of you had reliability issues with your gun Cerakoted?

I had an Issue with my Glock MOS that had been cerakoted and had a match grade barrel in it. It worked fine with the factory barrel so I got rid of the other barrel.

Couple questions:

Was this a factory cerakote job or done aftermarket?

Was the barrel also cerakoted?

Name brand of the barrel would help as would the issue with the gun.

It depends on the skill of the person who did the application. Most lay it on too thick and it can cause fitment issues. Did the gun function with the barrel before the coating was applied?

Aftermarket cerakote.

No, the barrel was TiNi coated.

It was an Agency Arms threaded barrel.

I’ve got a G17 slide that’s been Cerakoted. I haven’t put a lot of rounds through it (maybe 300) since then but it’s run fine since. I am also running an aftermarket barrel (Wilson).

I am no Cerakote expert, but it’s only .0005”-.0010” thick. I don’t know how many coats are required, however.

I suspect it may be more of a barrel issue than the Cerakote. I have a M&P Cerakoted, no issues.

After market appications of some coatings some times reqiure another "break-in" period. Changing out Bbl sometimes brings other issues to table. I had Robar do a few pistols in 90s that still look great but definetly required a few boxes of ammo to cycle through to mate everything again.

I had my Colt Government .38 SA coated a few years back. No issues until I decided to run a 2000 round no new lube, no cleaning test. When it got dirty there were some issues with a certain ammo make and my two Checkmate mags. After cleaning I noticed that the feed ramp coating was chipped in places. I had a GS polish the feed ramp and breach face. No issues since. I relegated the two offending mags to dry fire/training/reloading drills duty. Still happy with the finish.

That is what I had suspected....

There no such thing as a factory Cerakote finish from Glock.
