[QUOTE="Jefpainthorse, post: 1186505, member: 11766"] Nickle will chip and wear over several years of hard use. Gunnickle is softer than hardcrome and if you rub it enough( like holster wear) if will wear off. If you use a solvent like Hoppes 9 and it gets under any flaw in the nickle plate... it will break the bond between the nickle and the steel under it. Most of the nickled pistols I've owned cleaned up with an oily rag and elbow grease. Based on what I've seen on old SAA's (1st and Second Gens) and old SW hand ejectors... your kids will be shooting a pretty pistol years after your gone. Cant' help with a refinsh cost... never had to buy one (yet) [/QUOTE]
