| What is Parkerizing and is it good or bad? I assume that's the gun with the green finish. |
| Parkerizing is a finish technique that essentially absorbs oil and is less prone to corrosion than bluing. On the Kel-Tecs, the slides appear gray (with a hint of green), and the barrels look black (inside and out). Google can give you more specifics than I can here. The differences in color seem to be related to the use of different chemicals (i.e. different types of Parkerizing). |
