There is your problem. Nickel-plated cases are designed to reduce corrosion in the exposed belt-loops
of a LEO's leather rig and/or in tropical climate. Unfortunately the nickel plating
also causes significant
accelerated brittleness in an otherwise ductile brass case.
Google <

I wish I could tell you otherwise ...........
