I'd love to see one

Anyone ever seen a P7 with a titanium nitride finish?

Ive got another p7 on the way...I'm gonna have it refinished. I posted asking for advice not long ago...love hard chrome and Robar too

I don't, but I would like to know if anyone has seen one and what their impressions of it were.

Sounds like it could be interesting. I think I saw a photo thread of either TiN or gold plated HK's (USP's and MP5's mainly). Could look cool as a collector's piece.

 

[williamthewolf]

found the gold plated one.. not quite TiN but you can get the idea.

 

[rickj1nd]

Cool... thanks!
I guess TiN would just be more of a matte finish - right?

 

[williamthewolf]

yes. would be more matte. and WAY more scratch resistant. Strayer Voigt coats their barrel's with it.. albeit, they aren't SVI barrels, they are Schuemann AET barrels, but they get worked on by SVI.

Not TiN but TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride); yes.

 

[williamthewolf]

Not TiN but TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride); yes.

That's the new and improved version right?

I am partial to the NP3 finish but that's me. I actually like the two tone version with NP3 frame and Roguard slide. Love to see the Titanium though. I don't think I ever have nor know who might do it.

Thanks fatmat- bling. but nice.

 

[rickj1nd]

Thanks Guys - I really am considering refinishing mine. Any thoughts on where to send it.

 

[williamthewolf]

I've read some forum members sending theirs to custom gun works (spelling?). Someone on here can point you in the right direction I'm sure.

I think NP3 or Hard Chrome looks much better.

I like the TiN idea for a CC pistol but wish it could be black. I could live with the gold for the wear and anti-corrosion aspects, tho

 

[williamthewolf]

that new titanium aluminum nitride i think can be done in other colours besides gold.. maybe a black or dark dark grey. not sure though!

 

[Chui]

That's the new and improved version right?

No, TiN is bright gold - think carbide drill bit.

TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) is jet black.

Titanium Aluminum Nitride is dark, dark gray.

Other colors can be made by adding other gases.

Thanks for the clarification. TiCN sounds like a great finish for a pistol.
