I took one of my M 9mms out for what I thought was going to be a fast and furious 500 round break in session. I had to stop at around 350 rounds. The trigger and take down lever got too hot to handle and took quite awhile to cool to the touch. Next time out, I think I will bring a bucket of water to dunk it in. I was shooting relatively fast and building up a round count in short order (not hard with four 19 round mags). Normally, I would not shoot this fast. But, it is still a little surprising just how hot the pistol got. I literally got a blister on my weak hand thumb from the take down lever. I am curious if anyone is aware of a finish that would help disipate heat? Ceracoat immediately came to mind, but after speaking to them it probably isn't the answer. This will obviously only be an issue when a lot of rounds are fired in at a rapid pace. But, I would still like to find a solution.
