Titanium Nitride (TiN) : The Ideal Barrel Finish
- Extremely Durable - Harder Than Steel
- Low Friction
- Smooth And Lustrous Appearance
- Helps Protect Against Corrosion
- Available In Gold (TiN), Black (AlTiN), Copper/Rose (TiCN), And Silver/Grey (TiB2)
We can coat pistol barrels from most makes and models. Aftermarket and threaded barrels can also be coated. Most steel/stainless/titanium parts can be coated; including slides, controls, internals, etc.
The standard finish is a smooth semi-gloss. Polished finishes are also available.
Typical turnaround for coating is 2-3 weeks (from the day we receive your parts).
Most thread protectors can be added to the order for $10.

Titanium Nitride (TiN) is a very hard surface coating applied to metals in order to improve the surface properties. It is extremely thin (<0.0002") and will not interfere with the fit of firearm parts. The primary benefits are increased hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and reduced surface friction. Normal oiling/greasing procedures should be followed, as well as proper maintenance to prevent corrosion.
Polished finishes are a "mild polish" which means that the surface is made glossier than the satin finish. We do not remove significant material in an effort to maintain functional tolerances, so a part with a clean smooth surface will be glossy and smooth while a part with a rough surface will still show some texture. This holds true for parts with factory machine marks and down inside serrations, etc.
