It is. The full treatment.

[Quack]

that's what i thought. i like NP3 :)

[Monte#2]

Beautiful! NP3 is one of the BEST finishes imho...and it looks SO sweet! How long was your turn around time? I haven't sent one to Robar for some time and wondered how long your wait was. I am reallly wanting to send in one of my 1911's...and I think your picture might just have convinced me! So THANK YOU!

Last one I sent was my Beretta...

NP3 is a great treatment. The best qualities of nickel, mixed with some Teflon!

Notice, too....it's a Series I.

Good looking Kimber, it's a shame they don't do that same melt treatment for the newer CDPs.

[glock2740]

That looks great! I'm having Chuck bobtail and refinish my CDP Pro in a stainless colored Cerakote. Your's turned out great.

Good looking Kimber, it's a shame they don't do that same melt treatment for the newer CDPs.

I was noticing that they really backed off of the melt. I like the "bar of soap" look on these pistols.

Looks great congrats!

Good looking Kimber, it's a shame they don't do that same melt treatment for the newer CDPs.

Yeah, the new CDP IIs don't have nearly as pronounced a melt.

[okie]

Very nice indeed:thumbsup:

[Ruggles]

Nice looking finish you got there. Congrats!

[Hokie1911]

Me likey!

[Tejasshooter]

SAAAAWEEET! Glad to see some folks souping up the CDP. I know a guy that is about to have his tricked out like no ones business. Can't wait to see it Joe.

[lawdog734]

That looks great. I got a blue Kimber Raptor I was thinking about having NP3

HL's are my favorite "business" grips.

[Tactical black]

It looks nice how can you go wrong with guitars and guns :supergrin:

[John Brown]

Ya can't. No possibility of failure!

[bac1023]

that's what i thought. i like NP3 :)


I do as well. :cool:

Great stuff.

[BuckyP]

Very nice.

This reminds me that I need to get the frame done on my Franken-Build. The top is already blue, so I think just the frame for a nice two tone look. I am looking at Robar's web site and I see they offer packages for NP3 and NP3 Plus. Which did you get? Anyone know the advantage of the "Plus"?

[jtkimber45]

Dang it, I should have went with the NP3! Looks great on that pistol.

[John Brown]

It was the full boat $400 NP3 Plus package.

[bac1023]

Dang it, I should have went with the NP3! Looks great on that pistol.

NP3 looks great on just about any pistol. Its an awesome finish. :cool:

[leeward419]

John,
Hi, Just wondering, what is NP3?, where can you have this done, is it expensive?
I wondering if it wears well, nice option to have parked finish replaced I assume. Looks absolutely fantastic. Looks very similar to the finish C&S used on the trident pistol featured in Combat Handguns. IT also was nickel composisiton I beleive it minimized the need for lube.

Thank You

[John Brown]

Robar does it. Its a hybrid nickel/teflon coating. This has the full $400 treatment....everything, internals and 2 mags.

[leeward419]

Oh gosh, that did it, I am looking at having this done now, my wife hates me again for now, but at least it isnt a new gun, from her perspective, actually looking at the trident
