I also had two handguns refinished with Nitex in the late 1980's. A S&W mod 29 and a Beretta mod 92SB. The 29 has seen several years carried in the woods hunting and still looks as pretty as the day I got it back from TX. The 92SB has had several thousand rounds through it, and for many years was my duty carry gun. Some of the Nitex has worn from the alloy frame, but every steel surface is just as it was when they first did it. Anybody know if Nitex is still available? I've recently brought home a mod 25 that I'd like to have done.
