Duty Coat is essentially the same thing as Cerakote - a polymer / ceramic SURFACE COATING that is painted onto a gun and then baked.
Duty Treatment and Hard Hat Treatment are the same type of process as Tenifer, Melonite, etc. that is - Ferritic nitro carburizing . That IS NOT a surface coating. It is part of the metal and the treatment penetrates and hardens the surface of the metal.
Someone correct me here if needed, but I believe? DW switched over to the Duty Treatment sometime in 2010.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
