[QUOTE="APH Tactical, post: 3080719, member: 40946"] Hey Buffer, If I somehow offended you, I'm sorry man, no offense was intended. As far as sitting LEFT ALONE in a B117 salt bath spray, yes np3 and most every other soft coating including Cerakote will littlest any PVD that I'm aware of. But PVD has the ability to soak up and retain oil, providing a near impenetrable barrier against corrosion. And what happens when you scratch a soft coating, exactly how much corrosion resistance will that coating provide? I was simply stating(to a man seeking better scratch/wear resistance) that PVDs fill that role better, in the real world, where people actually maintain their firearm and don't plan on leaving it submerged in 120° salt water for 3.5 years and expect it to run afterwards. Also, there are many different "DLC" formulas, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, though comparable in composition. "We" don't have a proprietary anything as "We" aren't buying a $5m PVD machine anytime soon. However the company that performs that service for us does have their own formula, and my research indicates that it is the most ideal for the task. The numbers I was"throwing around" were being used to educate those unfamiliar with the coatings on the potential gains in scratch resistance alone and as long as the numbers are correct there shouldn't be an issue "throwing them around". After all "numbers" are the only reason you know NP3 Plus offers better corrosion resistance. Heck, "numbers" are the only reason that corrosion test exists in the first place! NP3+ is a phenomenal coating which is brought to you by one of the most successful Vet-Owned manufactures in the industry, and I'm a huge fan, but to those that may be seeking a black scratch resistant coating, I know if none better than the aforementioned.
