I have a Colt Combat Commander that I had refinished in electroless nickel by Nitex in Texas about 1980 , they were I believe the first to offer this finish on guns.
The Commander had been carried for years after the refinish and shot innumerable times, the finish is still better then 95%, and most of the degradation is from rough or careless handling on my part . After 30 plus years of use most blued or other finished guns would never have held up as well.
