A friend of mine got Black-T on a 1911 he took to Gunsite in '92. Still looks very good today, despite heavy use.

I clipped the below information from another web site. I don't know how current it is?

Birdsong's Black-T (601)939-7448

Good luck,
Nick

Black & Green T... The best protection there is...

Hi,

I had Walter do my Kimber Compact Stainlees in Black & Green T and it's fantastic. Walter does most of the hard use/ bad environment and high cyclic rate MGs for the SEALs, Homeland Security and the SpecOps community. I just called Walter and he fit my gun into a run. Did superb work. Every part in the gun is now rustproof (4,500+ hours of saltwater exposure) non reflective (even IR) and it's even self lubing.

Great guy to deal with. This stuff is unlike anything else available... its MUCH thinner and will not effect tolerances much.

You will love it.

Rich
