Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Whats the scoop on PVD coatings like Kimber uses on the Sapphire and Amethyst?
Posted: 10/7/2015 11:53:58 AM EDT
Kimber has a really cool coating on a few pistols:
http://www.kimberamerica.com/amethyst-ultra-ii
http://www.kimberamerica.com/sapphire-pro-ii-a

I think I've seen this on a Sig too.

I have googled and the PVD process is a general metal coating process.

Does anyone where know more about it?
What properties does it have, good or bad, for firearms?
Practical to do one part from a gun or does it have to be a large scale operation?
