Hello,

First time post from a new member ......

I am going to be getting a P99 from Earl's this week.  I really like the way the QPQ looks (not that I don't like the way the standard P99 looks), and am wondering if there is any reason why I should NOT consider the QPQ?

Is is as durable as the standard Tenifer coating?

Thanks in advance .....

The QPQ (quench, pollish, quech) is Tenifer coated. The Tenifer is actually clear.

I would think long and hard before getting the QPQ finished P99.

It's my understanding that the QPQ finish was discontinued by Walther a few months ago and replaced by the TITANIUM COATED slides.  I've heard that the QPQ finish picks up and shows blemishes more easily than the others.

I Have a QPQ 9mm 99 and have carried ans shot it quite a bit.

The finish is usless, Mine is rusting on the right rear of the slide,and is discolored. Eventually I will get it refinished with something that works. Walther changed finishes for a reason and I bet rust was one of them.

My tenifer (?) Black 40 QA exhibits none of these problems.
