How smooth is the durakote finish?
I don't mean glossy, but how smooth/rough does it feel?
I have a new M1911 Commander I just picked up that is heavily parkerised and it really drags when trying to draw from an inside the waiste band holster.
I have a stainless and a blued Gov model and they draw fine.
I am going to be installing an Ed Brown mainspring housing and was thinking about refinishing the entire weapon at that time.
