Next will be a trigger, hammer and sear upgrade then back to Robar to have the frame coated with Roguard.

Looks excellent. Very nice touch.
Does it "feel" more slick? Like when cycling the action and such?
And does it clean easier after use/firing now?

It feels very slippery even completely dry. manually it cycles effortlessly, but I haven't gone out to shoot it yet, perhaps after finals.

Finals are over. Took this out today to practice tactical reloading, and draw/shoot from the holster. Shoots like a dream and cleaning has never been easier. simply wipes clean with a dry rag or cotton patch. Even though Robar says it will function dry, I still lightly oil it.
