Well I reserved my final opinion for after I saw it in person. And after seeing it at SHOT Show I didn't care for it on the FDE frame. Nice finish though for sure.

Honestly I'm not 100% sure how much longer we'll be offering nitride. We may be switching to DLC soon in it's place since that's the route we're going on our P-10 barrels and it's an incredibly nice finish!

Fair enough - I haven't seen it in person. Maybe I won't care for it then either.

Is DLC the same as IonBond? I was under the impression that nitriding was somehow a better finish (or maybe just a cheaper one LOL) ... Thoughts?

Can anyone confirm exactly what the finish is on H&K's VP-9 slides?
Is it Nitride or DLC??
It seemed extremely durable with high lubricity; very slick with a gun grease applied.
After 4,000 rounds, absolutely no sign of wear. But I just sold it as I want to stay with DA/SA on all my defensive handguns.

Go with the bronze, will look awesome.
I am VERY interested in the white nitride finish as well, looking forward to selling enough blood plasma to get one. Am I supposed to be this dizzy all the time....?
