for one handed racking .. and just makes it easier from slide from slipping when racking. Thank you Doug Holloway from ATEi for great work superb service.




Here is his website with info .. disregard the *Coming Soon* He needs to update the cover page. He is in full swing and getting work across the Country. He is heading down to Cleveland, Ohio where Chris Costa is holding classes over the weekend. Doug is delivering three of Costa's guns back to him with serrations, trigger work, RMR set on and his logo etched on the slide.

I might get some hate over this... but once I get the Vanguard II for my G19, the shield's slide will be at Doug's shop. Its a bit of a drive for me, just under two hours so I just might mail it this time.
Yeah .. ya don't wanna leave your gun there .. Bwuaahahahaha !!!!
inside joke![]()
What was the turnaround time?
I would like to know how they refinish the slide. Do they re-nitrate the slide then black oxide it? That is the only way I would have that done.

Hi, Jim. Tennifer and Melonite are trade names for firearm finishing processes that involve salt bath nitriding. The heart of the matter is probably licensing rights rather than technology. I do not have any special inside information, but I believe that Glock will not let the supplier license the Tennifer name to any other firearms manufacturer; therefore, other firearms manufacturers are using a similar finish but from other chemical suppliers or under different tradenames.
Historically, firearm parts were black oxided, which is an oxidation process which is only a few millionths of an inch thick, does not offer much corrosion resistance, and doesn't alter the underlying steel. Salt bath nitriding is a case hardening process that leaves a fairly thick, corrosion resistant, hard surface.
