My old Para P14 had a lot of sub-standard custom work done over the years. I recently gutted it and swapped a lot of parts, then sent it to Robar to get the dim night sights replaced and a refinish for the frame and slide.

It always functioned great, but had gotten really run down looking. The frame was a dull anodized black. The slide was a really bad black Teflon finish that I never liked. It had a couple of spots of bare metal on the frame where one gunsmith forgot to do some work until after the anodizing job, then covered up his mistake with paint instead of refinishing it properly (I didn't notice until the paint wore off). Nineteen years of wear were really showing on the gun.

Now it looks practically new. Very happy with Robar's work.
