  • Anyone with a P45 w/ Blackened Slide Finish?

    How has the blackened slide finish (tungsten DLC coating) held up for those of you who holster your Kahr?

    Ask me again in a few months. I just picked mine up yesterday. From the photos I have seen of Kahrs with blackened slides that are obviously carried and holstered on a regular basis, it seems that the black finish holds up quite nicely.

      I've had mine for a little over a year now, while I don't carry it daily, I have carried it about 75 days and take it to the range about once a month. The finish looks pretty much like the day I bought it. I store it in the holster and handle it often.

        It sounds like Kahr's tungsten DLC coating on their stainless slide is signifcantly better than standard bluing.

          Yep. And, it is safe to state that virtually any finish, other than none whatsoever, is more durable than a standard blued finish.
