Hard chrome is more wear resistant than nickel, but nickel is a very hard and durable finish in it's own right. But it, like any, will show wear over time depending on its use.

I've got a few "dream carry guns". This is one of the faves... customized Colt LW Commander, by EGW, with steel feedramp insert, Novak night sights, Ed Brown grip safety, yada yada... oh, and the best part, Ed Brown bobtail mod. Frame refinished in electroless nickel. A dream to carry and to...

I have an M&P 40 Compact and had a lot of problems with the mags dropping. After a lot of time and numerous attempts to correct the problem, S&W finally gave me a new frame and I installed a heavier mag catch spring. Looks like the problem is finally solved. As for the gun... I like it and...
