Why? Those are some pretty high friction areas and I suspect the coating will take quite a beating on both. I guess you'll be doing a torture test of sorts. 
If you are referring to torture testing the cerakote on the barrel I will be regularly shooting it if that's what you mean, and while I expect it to wear, just about every pistol I have has where in that area so I expect it to be on par with everything else.
Can't wait to get it back!! |

This is why I can't support companies that pull BS like that. I had a K2 45, and traded it for a Ruger GP100, so no regrets there, but not being to buy spare parts is absurd. |

Update:
Cerakote did not happen. The chrome was not gonna allow it to adhere well. I did a rough strip of the chrome and acid etch the carbon steel for a matt grey tone. Eventually I might think about the Robar NP3 finish but for now I like the rugged worn look of the dull grey etch on the bare steel. Yes, I know hard chrome is probably the best finish and I stripped it, I just didn't like the bright shiny finish. Before the chrome strip i experience a few failure to feeds after about 200 rounds. After examining it there was carbon and gunk build up on the inside of the slide at the top. Also the machining was fairly rough in that spot. The buildup combined with the rough machining was causing the slide to not come forward with enough force to seat the rounds fully. I replaced the stock 16 lb recoil spring with a 18 lb spring and polished the inside of the slide where the rough machining was. Feeds like a champ now going on 300 rounds without being cleaned. I also installed a low power trigger return spring and immediately could tell the difference in the trigger. I could not tell a significant difference in DA pull but the SA pull is probably 1/2 - 1 lb lighter. I really like it. It was a real PITA to get that return spring back in!!!! 
I am very happy with this pistol. If it proves to be reliable over the next few hundred rounds I may start carrying it a little at work and in the winter. |

I took mine out of the case when I got it and looked it over carefully, and found nothing rough, no tool marks whatever. I oiled it up and put 150 rounds through it without any problems, even the Monarch .45 stuff that had problems in a friend's Glock went out the barrel without drama. When I cleaned it, I saw no wear except for a shiny spot on the barrel where it hit the slide, and the slide itself had a small spot inside. I'm very impressed with the K2 45!

Sure is nice looking with those wood grips. It's a shame .45ACP ammo is so expensive. If I was into reloading, I'd nab one of these for sure. For now though, I'll stick to my one .45 1911 and the rest of the collection is 9mm. Way cheaper to shoot in volume.

Think one of these will be my next purchase.
Do they ever go on sale at CDNN or is the $369 the standard price? Noticed a local shop seems to sell them for $336 but they are out of stock. |

Got one!
Walked into a local shop and they had one at $499. I never held one so I asked to see it. The owner of the shop was there and said if you want it, $399. If paying cash $399 OTD. I asked how many mags it came with and he said 2. I said I'll take it. Turns out it only had one mag. He said give me $380 OTD then. Done. |

Not a single FTF, FTE, anything. Eats any kind of ammo. One of my most accurate handguns. |

I have had my Sar K2-45 for about 3 years and have put about 3000 rds through it.
I had some of the fail-to-feed problems with the feeding round catching on the extractor hook. Also found it did not like light loads. I replaced the light factory recoil spring with a Wolff 20 lb. spring for the Witness. I have fiber optic sights on mine. Kind of involved process, but you use a Dawson CZ-75 front sight, filed to fit, and a Novak adjustable rear sight (for the S&W M&P) with a shim under it. My Wood grips came from a guy called Mustafa in Turkey. And I just finished adding the 2 port compensator. I had to add a custom extension to the barrel to have something to mount the comp to. Lots of fun. Would love to crisp up the trigger. Here is a picture of mine https://www.flickr.com/photos/131111281@N03/34235567842/in/photolist-Uahe7S-Uahez5-Uahf27 The comp came from Numrich and was meant for a Witness. I profiled the sides of the comp so it matched the slide better. |

It appears EAA is done importing guns from Sarsilmaz and now it's either TR Imports out of TX or UTAS out of IL. Pretty sure it's UTAS actually.
http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=84759.0 Hopefully with a new importer comes cheaper spare parts! ETA: CDNN has 171 units of the SAR-K2 left. From what I read at CZ Forums, the price will be higher on the new imports. |

I've read that the rear dovetail dimensions are the same as M&P rear.
Also I've read that people are getting CZ front sights and filing to fit. |

I got a great deal locally for a "used" one with 6 extra magazines. I have taken it to the range once and it was flawless. I have a few parts coming and plan to polish up trigger and see if I can improve it.

I snagged one and an extra magazine. I had a good experience with a Canik TP9SFx and figured another Turkish gun was worth a shot.

Threw some goodies on mine. Wood grips, CZ75 front fiber optic sight, grabbed a handful of original mags and a couple of P14 mags and threw some extensions on them and some stronger recoil springs. Also threw a heavier recoil spring in it.
Had to fit the front sight. It wasn't to difficult to do. Had to drop the rear sight all the way down to compensate for the shorter front sight. Had to take the springs out of the the rear to get it all the way down.  Attached File |

My brother's CDNN K2 45 is having failures to feed. It shot the first 5 mags flawlessly, the next 5 were filled with FTF's.
I'll look at the extractor the next time he's up with it. Are you all just lightly polishing it or? Is there a video somewhere? |

I've had one of these for 4 or 5 years now. Don't think I've ever had any failures with it. I've put more than a thousand rounds through it. The recoil spring is a little weak. I replaced mine with a stronger one. Still no failures.

I've not used them, but my understanding is they will work,
except last round hold open won't work due to the shape of the follower. Doing a quick googlefu looks like I should have stocked up on OEM mags, more from Lanbo's, everyone seems to be sold out. |
