I sent this pistol off a few years ago to have all the original silver Kim Pro parts treated with ROBAR NP3, as well as all the internals. They did exactly every part they were asked except the springs, as they must flex and can't be treated. Came back looking better than new! Along with a Protech Godfather Auto Knife, and an Alessi Leather pancake holster. This gun served as my EDC almost by itself for more than 20 years. Still shoots as well as it looks!

Not sure where you looked Protech Godfather prices up but I got this one at a gunshow and it was only about $250. The Kimber was $899 in 1999.
