No.  No.  These are to carry.  That's why the durable finish!    :)    :)

IMTHDUKE,

I just bought the stealth and am quite disappointed at the durability of the finish.  I like the look but just setting the gun on a glass table can ding the finish.  I'm thinking that once the black wears off enough that I can't live with it anymore, I'll send it off to Robar for refinishing.  

The claimed durability is one attraction but but I'm also intrigued by the claimed "natural" lubricity and easy cleaning.  So, please update us after you have carried it for a few months and fired off some rounds.

I can tell you this...I had an HK P7 in MP3 finish and violated my #1 principle...never sell a great gun. I loved that finish...it truely does clean up easier and is less friction on the medal to medal.
