Vixen Tactical

Your firearm takes a beating. Standard use—even if you're careful—exposes it to water, sand, rocks, ice, and snow. Factory coatings get scraped off. The metal underneath starts to corrode. Your gun ends up looking worn and aged, and more importantly, it's susceptible to rust.

Vixen Tactical solves this with professional Cerakote finishing. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that protects your firearm better than most factory finishes. It's harder, more durable, and comes in dozens of colors and patterns.

Vixen Tactical is a certified Cerakote applicator listed on Cerakote.com (ID: 106738). They take extensive measures to ensure the coating won't flake or peel during normal use. If your firearm does develop flaking or peeling after their work, they'll reapply the Cerakote at no cost.
