Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTT COLT 1911 Coated in TiN

This is a Series 80 Colt That has been coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN) by Titanium Gun near San Diego. It is Chambered in 45acp and functions perfect. The coating is Hard, scratch and wear resistant and exhibits lubricious, corrosion and chemical resistant qualities. With the exception of a few small internal parts (Trigger, springs, etc), all internals have been coated as well.

This gun is truly one of a kind. It has had a steel trigger and steel (Flat) MSH added along with Black 3 dot sights that contrast very well. Approx. 500 rounds fired before Coating and 50 rounds Post-coating. I do not expect to get it all back but there is $500+ Just in TiN coating on this gun so be respectful with your offers.

Interested in all trades for rifles, shotguns, or pistols. Will Ship.

Thanks







A note from Titanium Gun:

TiN is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a coating on titanium alloys, tool steel, stainless steel, carbon steel and other metallic components to improve the substrate’s surface properties. Common applications include aerospace parts, military components, medical implants, cutting tools, industrial parts, manufacturing dies / molds and dental and orthodontic appliances.

TiN is a beautiful gold color and is often used as a wear resistant alternative to elemental gold plating. It is also used as a non-toxic barrier on the exterior of medical implants and jewelry.TiN has a low coefficient of friction and an operating temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. In most applications a coating of less than 5 micrometers (0.00020 in) is applied We apply TiN using a technique called cathodic arc PVD, or physical vapor deposition.

This method is environmentally friendly and produces a functional coating unlike some other methods which are strictly decorative in nature. Our coatings comply with aerospace specification AMS 2444A.

What changes your mind concerning ownership after having it coated?

Nothing at all, I also have no problem keeping it. I just wanted to try something different.
