Needed to do a quick unexpected concealment of my PT111 G2 the other day due to unexpected guest. I had posted the question of concealment of my PT111 in the freezer in an earlier post. So when this unexpected need occurred I was in the rear foyer near the freezer so I was quick to remove the magazine and place the PT111 in the freezer where it remained for a couple of days. The freezer stays at a constant "0" degrees.
When I removed the pistol yesterday morning needless to say it was cold. It looked the same as when I placed it in on top of a few briskets. I took it to the kitchen where I sat in on the island while I went to retrieve the magazine from it's stored location. When I returned to the kitchen I thought WOW, I would have sworn that my PT111 as an all black gun. Yet there is sat on the kitchen island with a "Stainless Look" slide. It took a few minutes before that "stainless look" melted away and the slide went back to it's original black finish.
I did a take down of the pistol and was totally amazed at how much ice and frost had formed both outside and inside the pistol. I laid it on a couple of paper towels as I let it go though it's own as time allows melt down procedure.
Upon this finding, I don't believe I will be storing any pistols in the freezer as a concealment location with any expectations of being called upon to serve as personal protection.
Just thought I would share my findings. I did also make note that even with the frame of the PT111 frosted over the grip provided a great surface to grasp the pistol firmly in hand.
