Hydro-Dipping Handguns

[Bruiser]

Has anyone ever had their handgun hydro-dipped? If so, how did you like it? How well does it wear, as in does the holstering it in and out wear the hydro-dipping off? Anywhere local to get this done?

Looks great at first. Kinda fragile though. The ones I have messed with wear pretty badly.

Ugh, what i was afraid of

Can you put a durable clear coat on them to protect the finish?

I have a friend in Central Florida that does it, and claims excellent toughness. I haven't had one done, myself, to give you a personal opinion. Here is his biz, if you want to contact him and ask more questions. Feel free to mention me when you talk with Scott.

My understanding of hydro-dipping is that a proper job includes a clear coat to help durability.
