Well, my new Springfield TRP w/ Armory Kote has a little wear from sitting in the gun shop until I bought it (I got a $200 discount because he's had it since Feb, and no one wanted tp pay that much). Anyway, I do not carry this gun. It is only for the range and maybe to sit on a table for home defense. So, I'm not too worried about holster wear.
I have seen 1 new TRP w/ no mark on it in the world, and it was pretty. I would like to just get it redone sometime next year to make it look a little nicer.
I am debating on whether I should:
1. Send it back to Springfield to be re-armory koted
2. Sent it to Tripp research for Cobra Coat
3. Do the Black T thing
Roguard is too expenive, and is a bit shiney.
I like the black look on it (that is a first for me - I have always been a stainless 1911 kinda guy), so that is why I don't want to do the hard chrome. I have been tempted to do two-tone, because that was always prev my fav. BuT I really like this all black gun w/ the silver trigger and silver bushing.
