    Glad to hear that Cerakote seems to be pretty robust. I decided to have my SBR Cerakoted. Its still in NFA prison, but when I bring it home I'm looking forward to seeing how it holds up.

    That was very interesting. There is a gentleman not far from me who is an authorized Cerakote guy. I might just have to go talk to him.

Either of those are more slick and durable for that application.

    I would certainly consider Cerakote for external use on exposed rust prone areas of various guns, but I personally don't want it inside my AR's.
    I agree. Of the ARs I've seen coated, they all have a sheen to them that I just don't care for. Also, most jobs I've seen, and not just sprayed at home, have a thickness to them. I don't like adding anything that adds thickness, especially to the internals.

    For me, it just makes more sense to hit it with some Aervoe for color. I don't see what Cerakote or Duracoat add to the rifle that anodizing doesn't. If it's just to camouflage the rifle, I'd prefer a hydro dip or to do it myself with Aervoe or even Krylon, which has a much flatter finish from what i've seen.

    Just my opinion here… I do understand why some might just like the look of it, which is a valid reason as well to have it coated, just not one of MY reasons.

    EDIT - I should add that I always appreciate MilitaryArms' reviews and think they're done very well. Whether I like the idea of Cerakoting or not, I do enjoy his approach to all reviews and find them educational.

    Now he just needs to do a Busse vs. Chris Reeve GB vs. Strider video and I'll be content.

    Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe

    Even though it held up better than I thought, I would still have to completely agree with this.

    Excellent job on the video. It appeared the quick reference chart showed Cera more wear resistant to IB??

    I'll be picking up my M&P .40 C CeraKoted in OD (Frame) and the slide left black. With VTAC NS and Apex DCAEK.
    Can't wait to get it. I pick it up Friday.
    By the way nice looking AR.

    Agreed, but surely they have something flat.

    I have been acquiring some some interesting new knives just for review. I have to clear some things off my plate before I get to them, but I plan on doing a few knife reviews this year.

    I'm glad you enjoy the videos and find them useful.
    Please check out the Military Arms Channel on YouTube.

    I have been considering a two-tone Cerakote on my 1911 when I finish "customizing" it. Thanks for making it a firm "yes".
