I just received several BAD ASS/CASS safeties directly from your website, but unlike my other BAD CASS or pics on the website, the centers are brass in color.

Is this some type of coating?

Thanks
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Mystery solved

It appears to be Zirconium nitride coating. Looks like the CASS I bought a few months ago from a dealer must have been NOS before the coating became standard.

Can you confirm?

We are doing a product wide upgrade to ZrN / TiN PVD Coating at no cost increase to the end user.  It is our continual product improvement program.  It costs many times more than phosphate but we think it is a better finish and will help improve the lubricity, corrosion resistance and the buttery feel of the safety.

Awesome thanks for confirming.
