We all come across like that if we're being sarcastic and having a good time. Humor doesn't translate in writing on the internet; you'll have to imagine. Why do you think some people get so wound up when you or I say something silly? Same thing.

Royal Robins would excommunicate you JEVapa! Matter of fact he would have excommunicated everyone "tactical" and had to be rolling in his grave when the Feebies started wearing them! See even he knew even way back then!
Oh crap, I hope Pochanaquarhip isn't a 5.11 guy! Seems like a jeans guy, but ya never know. If he's a 5.11 guy he will never forgive me.
I got a copy of this somwhere.
To be fair Patagonia, OR, MSR, Arcterx, and Black Diamond, and all tree hugging companies that came out of the climbing community that all have a finger in the tactical pie. I'm something of a tree hugger myself.

Ok to bring this back to coatings.... Let me tell you a story about "high temperature coatings" my good friend and sponsor Benny Hill (Triangle Shooting Sports) built me one of his legendary 6" Fat Free pistols in 40 cal. Benny was and is one of the premier builders of 2011 pistols, and was one of the he two guys who built the first STI pistols. Virgil Tripp was supposed to hard chrome it with his Cobra Chrome... Yeah the guy who makes great 1911 mags. I get the pistol and it's jet black. I call Benny and ask him WTF? His reply was that it was a high temperature coating. I was Leary but what the hell, went and shot it and it was great! Brought it home and started cleaning it and said Hi temp coating was being removed and flaking off from good old Shooter Choice bore cleaner.... Another call WTF is on this gun? Hi temp coating! What kind? Hi temp coating! What kind Benny??? ........ Grill paint! Why is grill paint on my pistol? It's on there because I spray painted it! WTF it was supposed to be hard chrome.... It is.... Under that High Temperature Coating!!! A tooth brush and some acetone and back to a nice satin hard chrome. Some years latter his son told me he was laughing his ass off as he was painting it.
Can I still wear my 5.11 belt?
I only have one cerakoted pistol and since it was done back when battleworn was cool, and since the slide was getting milled and ported I had to have some sort of finish on it, I picked cerakote.
The barrel is titanium nitride, and residue just doesn't build up on the ramp like other barrels I have. I've got several titanium nitrided parts on several guns and I had a s&w cylinder done in nitride when it was new, pre "cylinder ring" and I don't believe that this finish will ever get a ring that I can't wipe off with my thumb.
