I had a S&W 5904 Rogarded on slide, NP3 internals and frame a year and a half back. The black rogard started chipping off above the breechface within 50 rds. Robar said it was a warranty problem, and fixed it, no charge. The NP3 has worn a bit faster than I would like, the Customer Service rep said it was probably not wearing, just polishing the matte finish down to a shine at the high points. He offered to have it fixed as warranty work, said he wanted me to be satisfied. I didn't get it fixed, it's not bad and it took them weeks longer to do it and re-do it than they said it would. The good things-very attractive black on the Rogard slide, and the NP3 on the internals was like a free trigger job, definitely slicked up. If I had it to do over, I'd just NP3 the internals and Rogard frame and slide. I keep hearing about Black-T finishes, anybody got a personal review and cost estimate? Just curious.
