Well went to the mail on Monday and picked up my beretta 96A1 from having a little cerakote work done
Big thanks to Patrick at synergy coatings in nisku Alberta!
Lower is burnt bronze ad slide is graphite black low gloss
I had to fully detail strip it myself and was a little nervous but after making some tools and really just thinking on it they are a truly simple pistol and would not hesitate to do it again
While the pistol was out I added a 92D spring
Skeleton hammer
And did a full polish on the sear,hammer, and trigger
Highly recommend the d spring upgrade
Super crisp single action and a very nice smooth no grit and 3lbs lighter DA
I'm very happy how it turned out and this finish is major tough. But still thin that no sandin had to be done to fit everything back together
Shiny spots are from oil or grease from install and range. This pistol is a shooter so we will see how the finish holds up but overall very happy
Only regrets is not getting the barrel done in burnt bronze and the grips in graphite black
Cheers
