My hard chrome bcgs are much easier to clean than parked, and my motorcycle is faster than my car.
But i am not saying that the parked are hard to clean, nor am i saying my car is slow...
So I am not sure what you are getting at

One more tidbit... Ionbonding is just a process and not all are equal.
No...its just easier with ionbond.
I think the point is...is that the surface is slicker, and since the BCG is the only moving part during firing aside from the buffer it makes sense to have it be as "slick as possible". I also believe ionbond surface is harder, and there was very little wear to the BCG after firing.
The question of ionbond is is worth the extra money? I would not buy them for every gun I own but for a main gun its something Id like to have. Its not going to decrease the chance of a bolt failure or anything but it does have its merits.
For those of you guys interested BCM has the Ionbond BCG's back in stock....

Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered one for my BCM4.:)
BCM,s Ion Bond BCGs - Yes their worth the money
Ionbond is a company. There product (the one we're discussing) is Amorphous Plasma Assisted Tungsten Diamond Like Carbon or W DLC. I know because I've worked closely with them and the National Sales Director is a close friend of mine. Underneath the WDLC is 3 microns of electroless Nickel.
If any is interested I have tons of info (much of it correct) at www.pistolsmith.com under Finishes from some time ago.
It's great to have on a 1911. G34shooter, you should have called me. I would have gladly relieved you of your TRS. Dammit, I wish you still had it (and wanted to get rid of it). Oh well.... :(
I saw that on BCM's website the other day and was a fairly interesting read. I may have to get one just for shits and giggles.
