Model 10 NP3 Finish


Photo From: TJ Parmele - Album: Handguns--Modern

Description: Here is my Smith and Wesson Model 10-5 that has been re-finished with Robar's NP3-Plus Coating, which is described here: NP3 is Electroless Nickel with embedded TEFLON. The TEFLON is bonded to the particles of Nickel at the molecular level providing self lubrication throughout the entire coating. The Nickel in this finish provides corrosion and abrasion resistance. NP3 is a soft metallic gray color, somewhat similar to bead-blasted stainless steel or titanium. Roguard is a Molybdenum Disulfide based Polymer which is sprayed on a Phosphate base and then baked to cure. This finish is extremely corrosion resistant and very wear resistant when compared to other black finishes. Molybdenum is the main component of this finish which provides excellent hardness and self lubricating properties. Roguard is black in color and is available in a satin or matte finish. More details can be found here: http://www.robarguns.com/np3-plus.html

This also has a "New to It" barrel as the old one had bulges in 3 separate sections.
