If I take a new Glock Gen 5 with the DLC coating and have it milled for a RMR. What's the proper course of action to protect the bare metal?
One company said: It doesn't need anything there, just oil it and go.
One said they could put tool black in that spot.
Another has black nitride, but does the whole slide and removes the DLC on the rest of the slide. Why would I want to remove the DLC which is a great coating?
One says that Cerakote is too thick and will change the cut dimensions required another says that Cerakote is one of the thinnest coatings available.
My first build, this bothered me so much that I just bought a complete slide with DLC that already had the rmr cut. A Zev Technologies slide. Now considering doing another RMR mounted firearm and revisiting this question.
