Please read this entire section! Now you can build your dream gun using our online store. Just add the custom work you would like to your shopping cart and proceed to checkout. If you decide not to order at this time, your items will remain in your cart for a period of 5 days. In the checkout process, you will be prompted to enter a deposit code. That deposit code will reflect the amount due for the deposit. This is the deposit on the work that will generate a work order in our shop. If you would like to mail in a check, you may do so in the checkout process by selecting the "pay by check" option. Then when prompted to print the order, just print the order and mail in with your check. Printing your order will delete the items from your shopping cart.

Please do not ship your firearm. We will call for your firearm when we are ready to build it. This way you can still be shooting your firearm while you are waiting. Our shop will send for your firearm when we are ready for it and instruct you on the shipment process.

Please see our main custom pistolsmithing page for our backlog time. Once we have your firearm, the turnaround time is approximately 8 weeks for the completion of the custom work. If you order special finishes, you can expect an additional delay of 6 to 8 weeks, simply because we send your firearm to the finishing specialists for the services.

We will do a complete mechanical evaluation of your firearm before we start any work. If we find a problem that needs to be corrected, we will call you with an explanation of the problem and the cost to correct it. If you decide you do not want to continue with the custom work after the evaluation, there will be a charge plus return shipping, for the evaluation service.

Please do not order custom work with any other product from the web site. You will need to add the discount code CSTM, during the checkout process for the 50% deposit on your custom work. We need the custom work to come in on its own order for processing purposes.

Cylinder & Slide Cerakote Firearm Finish - Semi Auto Pistols

CYLINDER & SLIDE CERAKOTE FIREARM FINISH

The Cylinder & Slide Cerakote Firearms Finish is a two part Epoxy finish that is oven cured. Ceramic particulate color particles contribute the specific coloration of the finish and provide superior abrasion resistance compared to the normal polymer based finishes. Cerakote Firearms Finish has a superior resistance to most solvents and chemicals as well as rust. Cerakote resists rust for 2,500+ hours in the 5% salt spray tests. Cerakote is stable up to 525 degrees F.

Cerakote colors normally stocked are Satin Graphite Black, Matte Forest Brown, Matte Armor Black, and Matte OD Green. The Satin Black has a very slight sheen to it. The Matte colors are absolutely flat and do not have any light reflection to them. The Matte Armor Black sucks up so much light that it is hard to photograph a firearm finished completely with this. We recommend the Satin Graphite Black when having a firearm finished completely in black as one that is finished with the Matte Armor Black is really tough to look at because it is hard to distinguish the edges and lines of the firearm.

You are welcome to pick any Cerakote color that is offered. Just give us the number from the Cerakote website for the color you want. There will be an additional charge of โ for colors that we do not normally stock. This will be discussed with you at the time y ou order or before we Cerakote your handgun.

Cerakote can be applied to polymer frame handguns. We coat the Glock frames with Cerakote after we have done a grip reduction or added a beavertail.

Cerakote will resist holster wear better than the other poly finishes that we have tested. However, Kydex holsters are very tough on any finish and will eventually wear through even the Cerakote. It just takes a lot longer to wear through the Cerakote than the others.

You must order the refitting and test firing after the application of the Cerakote finish to be sure that your pistol will function. Why? The application of any type of polymer or epoxy finish adds surface thickness to the parts. This added thickness can cause sluggish cycling and contribute to function failures. By test firing the firearm after coating, we can make corrections in the finish thickness if needed to assure that your firearm will function properly after a complete break-in. You should always shoot your newly coated firearm at least 100 rounds to give it a good break-in. LUBRICATE YOUR FIREARM PROPERLY BEFORE AND DURING USE. We recommend that any firearm be properly lubricated before and during use regardless of the surface finish that has been applied. Check out the lubrication article in the technical section on our web site.
