I received it a few hours ago and was knocked out when I opened the package...
This particular Glock, a Gen4 G23 had a chalky dull finish that proved to be unforgiving almost immediately... I could practically draw on it with my fingernail, and I put some honest to goodness scratches on it a couple weeks after purchase...
This new finish feels slick and looks awesome. Darker than the factory finish... Communication and turnaround were great... About three weeks?
Of course I had to run to find my white crayon! ;-)

I'm one that also does not like today's finish, but does like the finish of 10 years ago.
Couple of questions, 1) what was the cost 2) wanting to know how the firearm fires out of the package 3) I have Glocks that look as good today as they did 10 years ago, do you expect this type of longevity in wear?

Give me a quick overview of the crayon process, does it stick well? I was going to do paint but I'm sure I'll make a mess of it and the cleanup will remove all the paint.

Google CCR in Tennessee. It's not a phosphate finish. It's a coating like duracoat/cerakote but it's their own proprietary formula.
I have filled in my engravings with crayons and it does not melt off. Not even after a few hundred rounds.
I don't shoot it that much that quickly to get it heated up. I shoot six mags or so then I have to reload.
Looks good. Always nice to have choices and there are a lot of vendors that will do a great job in recoating a gun.
I did the color fill in of roll marks years ago. I used lacquer sticks. Kind of fell out of the doing it after a while. The novelty just wore off. Enjoy and be safe.
CCR is about a hour away from me ... I dropped a revolver and a 19 slide off .. Looked like a lab .. Very friendly..... I was and am very impressed ...
Ha! Good eye... I actually prefer a slimmer SF type grip... I bought the gun used but mint off the boards, but it had that panel installed... I like the feel and look of the Pachmyr grip, but realized it really was too thick for my hand and two nights ago removed that panel... Now I need to buy the smaller pin... The longer pin sticks out a little but the grip sleeve covers it up, so it doesn't drive me crazy looking at it...
The CCR finish looks really good. It looks almost exactly like the darker black Glock used at one point. Hope it hold up better than the current Glock finish you had on that pistol before....Keep posting updates.
Like others I'd like updates over time reporting how durable it is.
It looks great!
