Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Roboar NP3 finish and what are its benefits on a firearm?

The Roboar NP3 finish is a nickel-based coating embedded with submicron Teflon particles. It's designed to enhance lubricity, reduce friction, resist corrosion from elements like sweat and water, and potentially decrease the need for frequent lubrication, making the firearm easier to clean and maintain.

What modifications were made to the Copper Custom Glock 19?

The Copper Custom Glock 19 features a full Roboar NP3 coating on all components, a Vickers Tactical slide stop, Amero Spartan tritium sights, and an enhanced grip undercut. Talon rubberized grips were also added as a beta test.

How does the Roboar NP3 finish affect the firearm's operation?

The Roboar NP3 finish is intended to make the firearm's action smoother due to its lubricity. While the reviewer subjectively felt the action was smoother and the gun shot flatter, definitive proof requires side-by-side comparisons with a standard Glock 19.

Is the Roboar NP3 finish on firearms scratch-proof?

No, the Roboar NP3 finish is not impervious to scratching. The reviewer experienced scratches from a poorly fitting holster, indicating that while durable, the finish still requires care and is not a 'magic shield' against physical damage.
