    Default Polycoat vs Nitride Shadow 2's

    So what version did South Africa get or are there both floating around? Which one is more sought after and why and how do you tell the difference?

    CZ USA labeled all the guns as polycoat in description. if you look at product SKU number on right side of box, it ends with 91256 which is SKU for nitrite finish pistol. polycoat guns will end with 91254.

    My understanding is nitride coating is some sort of electro chemical plating. And polycoat is a powdercoating.

    So which ones are available in SA and which ones are more sought after? Why? How do you tell the difference?

    Most of the CZ75B's that came in were finished in polycoat. It has a dull sheen and is relatively thick. When bumped, it can chip off around the edges.

    Nitrite finish should have a matt appearance (depending on surface prep), be much thinner and won't chip.

    Here we just buy what we can get. Doesn't change how they shoot. Which is fantastic.

    Yes I know. I was hoping to broaden my knowledge.
