Anyone have experience with how well cerakote holds up on a polymer grip? I had a Glock slide done once and it didn't hold up well at all even under light-ish use. I was a bit surprised, though it's possible the shop I used wasn't the best.
I think these look cool, wondering about durability. They were done by Cerakote Services and sold through Omaha at some point.  Might be a better forum for this, wasn't sure... |

With moderate to heavy use, it will wear off on the high touch spots. A lot depends on the prep, of course.

What Ken said.
The wear looks good, IMO. |

Honest finish wear (not forced or "painted on") is just plain attractive on a firearm.
Abuse, scratches and so forth, are fun for your run-and-gun AR15 but not a 1911 style gun like your Prodigy. Google Longmire's 1911 and hope you get to enjoy your SA long enough for it to look like Walt's 1911. |

Thanks all. I did end up buying one but just black. The company that did those cerakote jobs said it'd be $100 plus return shipping. For now, I'm going to stick with it.
