I have a 43 that has high points showing wear from a leather holster, and a week old Gen 5 19 MOS that has not been carried, holstered, fired, or anything, and it is really slick feeling, I listed it for sell, I am going to get a G45 instead. I know it has the same finish, hence the question of what it WAS called.

The G45 seems to be a hot item right now. If I wasn't so happy with my 19 I would seriously be considering getting one myself.

The new finish on the Gen 5 Glocks is nDLC finish on barrel and slide. GLOCK‘s nDLC provides tougher, more durable protection than previously used finish. The nDLC finish is exclusive to the GLOCK Gen5 models. The nDLC finish increases protection against corrosion and scratching and improves the ability of the pistol to function in adverse conditions.

According to Wiki whatever...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. DLC is usually applied as coatings to other materials that could benefit from some of those properties.
