i love the look of nickel. i grew up watching westerns and all the best gun slingers had nickel. i would love to get a nickel set up like doc holiday in tombstone.
having said that my 1 experience owning a nickel gun was bad. i had a s&w model 19 in nickel that i bought brand new. the gun was very lightly used and the nickel finish seemed to start lifting and started to flake. i'm not sure if this is common but it makes me leary of nickel guns. my blued ubertis still look very pretty
