I have two carry guns NP3'd and highly reccomend it.

Could not be more pleased.

Yep!  I'm sure leaning in this direction, for sure!    :)

I've got some parts at Robar now being treated for a project.
They are at about 7-8 weeks out.

Dive in, the water's warm. :)

I understand, that's why I was letting you know about the lead time.

Really not.  I do know about the lead time.  This will be the NIB one that will be getting done.    ;D

If it were me I would shoot that gun at least 125 rounds so that any "normal" frame wear that happens as the gun breaks in will already be done and that metal will be gone before you coat it.  That way the coating will not get nucked during the break in if you have it coated before you shoot it.

What about if you buy a new Robar.  That's not fired that way.  Not sure I agree with that.  Just me.  I want it coated before I fire it, so it doesn't wear.

Why don't you ask Robar which way is better or if it matters?

I want it just as if I were buying a new Robar.  The Robar has only been factory fired, so that's the way I'll go.  Thanks!

ccoorreeyy and KJ both have excellant points.

Keep in mind that NP3 is soo incredibly hard that it basically doesn't wear in human terms.

The self lubricity also helps prevent the wear as well.


You can't go wrong either way.

KJ - in case you did not know, Robar now offers NP3 Plus!

It is harder  than regular NP3 and I do not recall if there is any increase in lubricity, not that it needs more.

They reccomend it for people that live on the coast or in an extra humind environment.

The cost is about 30% more.


This is what I am  using on my latest project.
