It will remain my primary carry gun and it and my future Glocks will be my workhorses, but **** me if they aren't boring! Love 'em for it, though.

Seems even worse with my M&P. M&P owners' idea of customization is stippling :icon14:

The KelTec will require a fluff n' buff. Ruger should be good to go out of the box.

Hmm those Raven holsters look really nice. They hold nice and tight to the body. I think I might give one a try with my Glock.

Ruger's LCP is nice, it's easy to control for beginners and mechanically sound.

KelTec sounds good for a paperweight. These aren't competition weapons where a problem will cost you a trophy. Carry guns are meant to save lives. Aside from being small, carry guns must be as close to 100% reliable is a gun can come.

There's always cerakoting...

I've used these guys several times. They do some great work.

Very true.

I am planning my G26/G17 and future AR to be my "system."

The rest is just for fun.

They seem like they are fun if you are willing to work on them. I know there are a lot of diehard owners out there that swear by them.

Ah well, they seem to be better than Hi-Point. :icon17:

I assume the coatings have held up without issue ...? How long have you had them? Have they been through a "decent" amount of abuse? i.e., in and out of holsters and whatnot?

They're excellent holsters, but expensive, and there's about a 5 month backlog.

:iagree: Only got the P32 because it's cheap, very small and light. Something I can throw in my pocket when wearing basketball shorts or something. Really inconvenient when you have to ask the mugger/rapist/murderer/bigfoot/leprechaun/smelly dwarf for a timeout while you clear round from the chamber

I've never had a whole firearm cerakoted, just various parts, and mostly on rifles. But those get more abuse than the pistols anyway, and the cerakote holds up well. It scuffs and mars like any other firearm finish, but I haven't scraped any off yet.

Yes, my firearms get thoroughly abused. I confess that I'm not very concerned about the cosmetics.

The minotaur MTAC. This is an amazing holster, recommend to anyone!
