Back in the days of the Model 39, 39-2, and 59, if you did not get a black pistol (blued steel, black anodized aluminum) you got a nickel plated pistol, the aluminum receiver seemed to work just fine with nickel plating. Hard chrome can work just fine on aluminum, metalife being a version of hard chrome, and if it didn't, custom gun shops would not offer it.
