The original application of Cerakote by Colt's vendor was a little soft. So, I broke her in, then sent it to Cerakote for refinishing (they owe me a few favors).

This is after the second 500 round outing:

Spent the 500 rounds working on draws, splits, and reloads. These three plates too the brunt of the lead ;)

That gun makes me think lustful thoughts.

I'm impressed by the way that stuff's clinging to the barrel hood like grim death. A bad Cerakote job can darn near leave the barrel hood in the white from shop wear alone, without a round being fired...

I'd demand a refund. Whatever they did, now your gun is leaking. Either that or you didn't put enough anti-perspirant on the slide that morning.

I have yet to see a CCS "Tactical Package" pistol that didnt run very well. This is no exception. Not too tight, just a well built pistol.
