Found a somewhat local compant on facebook and after talking with one of the guys there decided to have them do some parts on my Glock.
They offer industrial hardcoatings applied on gun parts. Ive had questionable luck with durakotes, molys, cerakotes, etc.. Figured I'd give this a go. Heres how my parts came back. Everything was packaged well and wrapped nicely. 
Here are the parts as removed from the wrappers. 
Slide done in AlTiN Locking Block, Trigger Housing Pin, Extractor, Firing Pin Safety, Firing Pin, and Connector done in TiN Barrel, Slide Stop, and Slide Lock done in TiCN A few assembled pics. 
Turnaround time was about 2 weeks door to door. Not bad for what had to be quite a bit of work removing the original finishes, polishing the parts, etc... Here is their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MGPrecisionArms Going to run a few hundred rounds through it this weekend hopefully and see how it holds up. Should do pretty well considering this stuff gets used on cutting tools and whatnot. Kinda cool, very different, thought I'd share. |

These coatings are supposed to go beyond just aesthetics and have wear properties well beyond the steel they are applied to. Also should be easier to clean (clean a Glock, GWHAT?)
Plus I know it's there lol. The price wasnt much different due to the number of parts I was already sending in. Im pretty tickled with it right now. |

Thanks all.
Stock recoil spring. I weighed the slide after having it machined against one of my stock G19 slides and the difference was just over an ounce, I have run at least 2500 rounds through it since then and havent saw any issues. Between receiving these parts back and getting my grip chopped RMR'd G17 back together yesterday, Im sort of in Glock heaven lol. |

Haha clean a glock i helped a local dealer & ammo supplier do a wear test on tangible ammo, i got a call. My friend called and said hey dan smith wanted to ask a favor i said ok ? He needed help putting 8,000rds of 40 s&w threw a glock 22 me and 4 others put 8,000rds threw that g22 in 5.5hrs we did bbl swab after every 1,000rds thats all were using bucket of ice to cool when it got hot to hold dunk it shake back to the firing line not 1 ftf fte 1 mag would not lock slide back after empty we all had 3 mags while person was shooting fill ur mags good day |
| The slide cuts are aesthetic, although they did come in handy at a class where we had to soak our hands in icewater for what seemed like 4 hours but was probably closer to 30 seconds, then manipulate the firearm to clear an artificially induced ammo feed malfunction. With numb wet fingers I was able to lock some skin into those cheese graters and get the gun running fairly easily. |
