Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of using Cerakote on firearms?

Cerakote is favored for its superior durability and aesthetic appeal. It forms a robust layer that resists scratching down to the bare metal, unlike some other finishes. The Burnt Bronze color offers a unique look with subtle flecks.

How does custom stippling improve a firearm's grip?

Custom stippling, especially with a fine tip, creates an aggressive texture on the firearm's frame. This significantly enhances grip security, preventing slippage during handling, even in adverse conditions. The fine stippling can also feel surprisingly soft to the touch.

What frame modifications were made to the Glock 35?

The Glock 35 frame underwent grip reduction, removal of finger grooves, and an undercut trigger guard. These modifications, performed with an air sander, aim to improve the overall ergonomics and provide a more comfortable and secure grip for the shooter.

What type of sights were installed on the customized Glock 35?

The Glock 35 was upgraded with True Glow 'new hive' sights. These sights feature interchangeable inserts, and a green front sight insert was chosen for enhanced visibility and faster sight acquisition.
