Perma Kote

The finish on your gun is something that you want to take pride in. It should be durable, impervious to rust, immune from any kind of cleaning chemicals, be able to bathe in more salt water than a Navy SEAL and still come up looking like a million bucks. That is exactly what Perma Kote™ can do. It’s a ceramic based finish that sets the standard in the firearms business. Tested for over 5,000 hours under salt water immersion, as well as 5,000 hours under salt water spray at 40psi, it stayed rust free and still the best looking finish on the market, even after that kind of exposure. We don’t pre-treat the guns by Parkerizing them to turn the metal black so you can’t see it wearing off. Perma Kote™ is applied directly to the prepared metal and it stands on its own just fine. We’ll put it up against any polymer finish on the market.

Perma Kote™ also contains properties for self lubricity. It takes very little lubricant for your gun to run at peak performance if it has Perma Kote™ . We believe that the worst thing that you can do is let your gun run dry, so it is paramount for us to have a finish that would help to compensate for someone not using enough lubricant. The self lubricating properties on Perma Kote™ do just what they were intended to do.

Why don’t other companies use it? The answer is it costs four times as much as the popular polymer finishes do. We strive to give you the very best of everything in the industry that is available today. For now, Perma Kote™ leads the pack, and we have the best people that know how to apply it.

Take a look at the color examples. You can have any solid, or combination of colors.

Once your gun has Perma Kote™ applied, each part is gone over again to make sure the finish is done perfectly. Once Robert is satisfied that it is, he then forwards it to Rodney (below) for assembly and test fire. After the assembly is complete, it’s time to head to the range for the afternoon.

All of our guns go through a stringent test fire before they leave the building. They have a minimum of 75 rounds shot through them before they are sighted in and the test target is shot. The magazines are loaded and the gun is fired with 1, 2, 3 rounds and so on, to make sure the gun feeds flawlessly through each stage and the slide locks back every time once the last round is fired. Each gun is tested with various kinds of ammunition. We make sure that every gun has flawlessly fired some type of hard ball, hollow points and semi-wadcutters. This translates into confidence for you, since you know your guns has passed all the stages of test fire before you receive it. A test target is included with a 3 shot group on every gun we ship.

Our guns will feed almost any type of ammunition. The manual that comes with each gun will let you know what is not recommended for reliability. Keep in mind though, no more than you would put leaded gas in a new Corvette, should you feed cheap ammo through a high performance custom handgun.
