It's Done! PM9 Cerakoke

[Thunder71]

Cerakoted slide by Easton Firearms Refinishing

Original gun had the stainless slide.

I'm beyond ecstatic about how it turned out, even better than I hoped for. The back cover is also black, just the right mix.

What do you think?

not bad, almost looks stock

I think it turned out incredibly awesome. Looks really good.

What's the texture like or is it smooth as it was before?

[Thunder71]

Thanks!

Yeah, it's smooth... a little bit of texture by feel.

Crap are you wearing a neck tie in your avatar. Give us a break huh? This is a casual forum.

Looks great! I got the factory all black with night sights.

BTW - what did you do to the mag? The one thing I don't like about mine is the mag tears up my little finger on my shooting hand, the base is sharp. Would sure like to modify mine like this.

Thanks!

Looks great.

He still comes across as a tough ombre. Sort of like a mob boss's body guard. But the shirt and tie can't hide the bulging muscles. Remember, this is the guy who can rack the slide on a PM9 one handed, effortlessly, with either hand!

It looks great, Thunder. Does that finish cover the inside or underside as well?

That's certainly a more MANLY finish than the "Look! Shiny!" finish.

Yeah, it does look great, Thunder, but I think I would have sent them the slide release, too, and have them do just the visible portion.

[Bawanna]

I like it as is, gives it a little class and you can shape it or not worry if you ever have to replace it.

I don't associate manly with black. Nice to make a mod and not have to refinish. That being said I see a little of this cerakote in my future.

I think this is the base plate I ordered:

On top of it being less sharp, it also fits flush.

looks very nice, you can def see a little more texture vs the stock black finish.

Thunder, it looks great.

Still boggles my mind though that some folks will pay a premium for a black slide (like Kah'rs offering) and another for a dual tone (think Glock EXO), go figure. Guess as the saying goes... Different strokes for different folks!

Now that is definitely a fine finish. That's what I mean when I say I wish I had chosen the SS slide, deburred it and sent it off to be coated. Of course when I bought mine I didn't know squat about Kahrs or modern handguns in general.
