Had Bruce at Hunters Essentials cerakote my Glock and it’s exactly what I wanted. He’s truly an artist.

The gentleman who work here are so helpful and professional. I called to check to see if they had ammo and confirm their hours . They were kind to accommodate me because I was cutting it close to closing time The store has an old school/ comfortable feeling. Highly recommend.

Bruce is the man! He did a custom cerakote job for me in digital camo and the gun came out awesome. I drive over 1 1/2 hours each way to get to his shop and wouldn't shop anywhere else.
