Seeking Samples & Reviews About DiamondKote - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

The subject line pretty much says it all. I'm considering getting my new XP-9 coated and have been looking at DiamondKote from M&R Arms Specialties (mrarms.com).

Their product seem very nice and they have been very helpful with answering all my questions via email. I'd like to hear from members that have gotten their XPs coated with DiamondKote and hopefully see some DiamondKote samples. Specifically, how has the DiamondKote held up? Any first hand comparisons with other coating methods from members that have tried different types of coatings?

As always, thanks for your time and consideration. And, yes...I have already searched the site for information on DiamondKote. I didn't find many posts.

Regards...

I'm pretty sure DiamondKote is their brand name for KG GunKote. You will probably find a lot more info by searching for "gunkote".

Greg (Tengu):

I'm sure you are correct. My post, however, is a bit of a two parter: Information on DiamondKote and information on M&R ARms? I will do some searches on KG GunKote.

Thanks...
