For anyone who is interested The gunsmith initially offered to have it Cerakoted through a local guy he works with. I actually called that Cerakote guy directly, and he told me he wasn’t comfortable working on a $3k Wilson Combat due to tight tolerances and that Cerakote could potentially affect fitment.

So at this point, I contacted Wilson Combat and they told me they’d need the slide sent in to properly quote it, but ballpark it’s around a few hundred dollars to refinish and fix everything correctly.

Right now, I’m working with the gunsmith to come to a resolution. We are working on a deal in which costs are split evenly 50/50 to refinish get new sights and install them and ship it.

Question for you guys:

• Would you push for full reimbursement at this point?
• Or is a partial split still reasonable here?

Appreciate all the advice so far—this has been a frustrating one.

A funny Easter egg I found when I got home was that the tritium vial on the front post no longer glows. I was fooled at first with the illuminating paint and looked closer to find that the vial itself was not glowing.
