Cerakote or PVD?

[dendrig59]

Does anyone know if the ?true? Black Widow is actually cerakoted, or just PVD coated?  I have seen it advertised both ways.  I thought Cerakote was supposed to be very wear resistant, but the black coating on my 3 month old gun already shows wear around the sharp edges and from where the cylinder bolt drags on the cylinder.

According to the NAA website cerakote. https://northamericanarms.com/shop/firearms/naa-bwm-crk/

PVD is extremely wear resistant.
Cerakote is paint.

To me, putting any finish on stainless makes as much sense as my great-uncle painting his redwood sided house white.

Yep...

I agree.  I would have preferred the stainless steel finish, but the black was all I could find locally.  I may buy a stainless model later if I can find one so I can have a set!

Or painting brick houses white. It's all the rage now.

And it's near impossible to remove. ..

And in ten years someone will be using a whole lot of words that will get you banned here trying to remove the white paint when red brick is back in style
