Alright guys, I know I don't post here much, but I have a problem that needs your expertise. It brings me great disdain to have to do this, but I feel like it's been long enough.
Back in about April I had my glock 23 cerakoted at 1776 gunsmithing in Waltham. The guys were awesome and helped me through the color choosing process and the gun came out awesome. I was stoked and couldn't wait to show it off to my friends. However, about 6 holsterings later the cerakote was starting to wear. Now I know with a kydex holster it is bound to happen, but I did my research and from what I found it was thousands of draws later that this happened, not half a dozen. It was also wearing on the back face of the slide just under the rear sight where the only thing that touches that is my shirt. So thanks to a crappy work schedule and being poor, and endless phone calls of no answers, I finally made a trip up there about a month later only to find out they were closing up shop and moving to Florida. But there was a big guy there with a punisher tattoo on his arm, IIRC his name was Gino, who looked at the gun and remembered it being done and told me that there was no way that should have happened so soon and make a call to the guys in Florida and they said as soon as they were set up that they would take care of it. I thought, "wow, now that's great customer service, and I would expect nothing less after how these guys treated me the first time I walked in the door". I was told about July they should be all set. Now July came in went, still no phone service, fast forward all these months and basically through a few private messages on Instagram I was told next month, next month, next month. I have even posted a picture and tagged them on instagram and still no answer as to what is going on. Now here I am 8 months after this was done and it's still worn, I haven't heard a single thing from any of them, and I just want my gun whole.
Has anyone heard from these guys or have any info on what's going on with them?
Is there anyone around Mass that can do a kryptek cerakote pattern? I'll settle for a single, solid color at this point but I just need something done. The guys that bought their equipment told me they would be happy to fix it with a solid color if 1776 would foot the bill but they are just starting out and can't do the patterns yet.
Now onto the pics: don't mind the blueness, it's really grey and black, I just have a shitty old phone
